I can't understand why this game is so acclaimed in the gaming press as it seemed to be the bare skeleton of an actual full game more than anything else. Clearly the developers, Ubisoft, ran out of time when making the game as there's not a single bit of platforming fun anywhere to be found on the disc. So it's another round of minigames then, which would be fine if it had a brilliant multiplayer, because let's face it - these games are designed to be played with friends. Unfortunately it doesn't have a good multiplayer and can only be described as dull with players often forced to take turns and none of the madcap action from, say, the Mario Party games. However, it does have surprisingly nice graphics and it will make you laugh so it is worth a rent. One thing to be aware of though is the fact that often the controls won't work, which is easily the most frustrating feeling in the world as you often feel cheated out of winning. Also - be prepared to move your furniture around as the pointer in Rayman will only work if you're at precisely the right distance.
