ABOUT THE GAME

Rayman Raving Rabbids (French: Rayman contre les lapins crétins) is a 2006 party video game developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and published by Ubisoft. First released for the Wii in 2006, with the various other consoles' versions, including the handheld version being released later. It is a spin-off for the Rayman series and the debut title for the Rabbids franchise. The game was initially developed by Phoenix Interactive Entertainment, naming it tentatively Rayman 4, after finishing the PlayStation Portable port of King Kong. The game was intended to capture elements from Rayman (1995) and the sequel to Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc (2003) with characters expressing self-awareness of being in a video game controlled by the player of real life. After Nintendo revealed the Wii, members of Ubisoft were concerned that being a more conventional 3D platformer could negatively affect the game's sales, making the decision to restart development. A source code of Rayman 4's prototype was leaked online on 4chan in December 2022. Rayman Raving Rabbids received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for its frantic gameplay, humor and implementation of the Wii's features, with the other versions being less well received.
