Published by: Ubisoft
Developed by: Ubisoft Paris (France)
Genre: Action
Number of Players: 1-4
7.0 Presentation
The Rabbids are still funny, but the novelty has worn off some.
7.0 Graphics
A mixed bag of different minis, some of which look good and others downright ugly. Rayman aside, character designs are still great. Now runs in pro-scan, unlike the first.
7.0 Sound
The bunny calls were pretty funny for the first game, but the sound bytes are so overused in this sequel that you'll pray for variation. Even Rayman speaks like a bunny in many of the minis.
6.0 Gameplay
Still fun as a multiplayer game, but the minis are far less entertaining than they were in the original game due to dumbed down controls.
6.0 Lasting Appeal
50 new minis that aren't quite as fun. A few games stand out and can be played again with friends. Also, there's WFC support for high scores.

Number of Players: 1-2
8.0 Presentation
Better than the previous version with 16:9 display, more VO, and a crisp storyboard style. Could still be improved greatly, but improved nonetheless.
7.5 Graphics
Widescreen adds to the visual style, and while the game looks very similar to last year’s effort it makes use of more backdrops and locales, and more “levels” to operate in.
7.5 Sound
A huge improvement in both amount and quality of VO. The general sound design is similar, but also offers a larger soundtrack.
8.5 Gameplay
Gameplay remains virtually unchanged, but new tools and techniques add depth. Co-op mode is awesome, as are the new story-less “challenge” stages.
8.0 Lasting Appeal
Online rankings make an appearance this year, as does the ability to play three difficulty levels (that really change the experience), two doctors, co-op, and challenge missions.
