Rayman Raving Rabbids is a platformer released for the Nintendo DS, developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and published by Ubisoft.

It is part of the Rayman Raving Rabbids series; on the DS you can also try Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party, Rayman Raving Rabbids and Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. Ubisoft Montpellier also made Rayman 2: The Great Escape, Michael Jackson: The Experience and Peter Jackson's King Kong for the DS.

Rayman Raving Rabbids is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you've played the DS hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Rayman Raving Rabbids is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
