Poor old Rayman, he just doesn’t seem to catch a break. Not only has he been bumped right out of the gaming limelight by his nefarious foes, the Raving Rabbids, but now he’s having to put up with the little blighters taking over the telly.

If you’ve come across those rascally Rabbids before, you’ll know that can only be bad news for Britain’s favourite pastime. If you like your time in front of the box to be a little more energetic than your average couch potato, however, that’s good news for you.

Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party offers up some 65 unique minigames to play, based around the Rabbids having taken over a full week’s worth of programming. If you reckon you’ve heard all that before and you’re looking for something a bit different from Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, however, look no further! The latest instalment in the series features support for the Balance Board, with around 30% of the minigames on offer making use of it.

Take, for example, the Wildebeest Xtreme skiing game. You know how the Wii’s meant to get kids off their behinds for games? Not with this. For Wildebeest Xtreme skiing players plonk their plush posteriors on the balance board and steer a Wildebeest-riding Rabbid down a snowy slope. Genius!

To push the party-focused emphasis of the game, Ubisoft has also opted to include a multi-player mode for up to eight users. That’s seven other people you can laugh at as they try to get to grips with all the crazy activities the Rabbids have in store for you!
