What that entails is completing a minigame of your choosing to fill a timeslot, which unlocks the next batch of shows to play during the next hour. Each minigame is essentially a stand-alone show, and you're the master in charge of deciding which programming makes the airwaves. The TV format also affects the way the game's solo campaign is organized. These oddball scenarios combine with flashy onscreen graphics and incoherent rabbid screaming to create a rather funny send-up of the squawking chorus of voices that makes up most of cable TV. There's a mock cable-broadcast look and feel to the whole thing that has the rabbids imitating everything from zombie B movies to high-fashion runway shows. It's a thin plot told via a small handful of prerendered cutscenes, but what it does is lay the premise for an entertaining overall presentation. In their effort to continually haunt poor platforming mascot Rayman, the rabbids have hijacked a TV station and are now broadcasting their own twisted programming directly to Rayman's home. In TV Party, the titular raving rabbids are just as insane as ever, but this time around they've extended their reign of terror to the television airwaves. TV Party's newfound focus on mocking cable TV adds a fresh new set of laughs to the presentation. TV Party simply relies too heavily on its sense of humor to mask the fact that the extremely basic motion controls that make up the bulk of the gameplay have collected a thick layer of dust. Although TV Party manages to expand on the series' trademark wacky sense of humor with a newfound focus on television pop culture, the gameplay has remained mired in the realm of diminishing returns by failing to improve in any notable way. Now Ubisoft has released the series' third game, Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party, at a time when the genre has grown bloated and stagnant. The original Rayman Raving Rabbids was released at the forefront of this trend, successfully stringing together a collection of absurd challenges that relied on simple motion controls and an offbeat sense of humor to create a fresh and oddly compelling overall package. Even though only one person at a time can use the balance board, half the fun is watching the person playing.In two short years, the Wii minigame genre has gone from relatively novel concept to full-blown phenomenon. Some of the other games are played standing on the board and leaning one way or the other. Some of the games are a little crude, like crouching to make your surfing Rabbid pass gas, but imagine that with a group of friends (or the family after Thanksgiving dinner) and you can see how the game could liven up a party. There are several games that use the balance board and the ones where you sit on the balance board and control the game with your butt by leaning in different directions are really funny, like the one riding a bull down a ski slope. They make good use of the Wiimote and nunchuk. The games can be played alone, but they're really meant to be party games, and are hilarious with a group of up to 8 people by passing the controls or up to 4, each with their own controls. This game incorporates the use of the balance board in some of the more than 50 mini games. Those crazy Raving Rabbids are taking over the TV airwaves. If you've never played a Rayman Raving Rabbids game you won't believe the level of goofiness and fun involved in these games. If you haven't tried a Rabbids game yet, this one be the one to try. It would be tough to appreciate some of the humor if you were under 7. I'd rate this as a good game for everyone over 7. It made him happy just hearing us have so much fun and then he joined in too. The first day we played it, her husband woke to the sound of us giggling downstairs having a wonderful time. There are too many stations and games to list them all but this is not only her favorite rabbid game but also her new favorite wii game. All the games are themed by tv show and network so there's Macho TV (with a motorcycle driving game and loads of other games too), a station with extreme sports which contains sledding on ice on the back of a cow to do tricks and hit targets, and of course the rabbid singing and dancing games too. As you beat games you unlock more days, timeslots and minigames. There are 7 days worth of "tv programming" with each day having at least 7 timeslots and every timeslot contains 8 games. Instead of telling a story (rabbids I) or traveling the globe (rabbids II), the rabbids have taken over the tv. This game is a similar setup but the theme is different. Both games are set up as a set of minigames suitable for individual or party play.
