Hands-on with Rayman Raving Rabbids

The Rayman video games have always been a bit surreal. But the Raving Rabbids launch title for the Wii looks...Just. Plain. Weird. Rayman gets captured and has to entertain the deranged cartoon bunnies with a quick succession of gladiator bouts. It's a mini-game fest along the lines of the latest Wario games or Mario Party.

Fling a cow at the rabbits to slow them down. Keep bunny outhouse doors closed. Try not to be derailed by the loony bin bunnies and their hallucinogen-inspired antics. Wired has a hands-on report that put the game on my pre-order list...assuming I ever get to make one.
