Xbox 360 Rabbids | To Wii, or Not to Wii

While Rayman's other outings with the Rabbids were Nintendo Wii exclusives, Ubisoft ported the first game to a number of platforms. This Xbox 360 port was the last to release... so what's new here?

this version of the game has some achievements you CANNOT get. they require getting more points than you can physically get. *slow clap*

[@FrameRater]

You know, I swear I did hear about that before. Shame I didn't remember to bring it up in the video. Thanks for pointing it out though!

[@scrubbadubbins4895]

Speaking of unable to score enough points. The amount of points required for the good ending is in possible to get. This means it is impossible to beat the game 100 percent. This was never fixed in any relese.

[@ghhn4505]

Y'know we live in an age where fans could hack the game and see this alternate ending, I'm wondering if the alternate ending is actually real or just a myth.

[@Nooooooooooooooooo]

@@ghhn4505 now that would be interesting

[@PokGOT4N]

​@@Nooooooooooooooooo there's nothing new, it's only giving you world eclectism championship, this is only a minigame compilation (and no new minigames, only old ones), no new ending etc :/ you can check the vid on my channel if you want

[@jacobbelyea7945]

The GBA version is surprisingly the best, as it’s based off the unfinished prototypes and concepts of Rayman 4.

[@clintonbreeden6970]

Same with the DS version!

[@SCOUTSnailgun]

Same with the J2ME Version!

[@01SuperJared]

Same with the Colecovision version!

[@Kamil999666gmail]

PC port debuted same day as PS2/Wii version in December 8, 2006 before x360 April 6, 2007. That is why don't have x360 enhanced graphics.

[@mann-nova9392]

I'd say the sequel is better. The humor is still there and there's a lot of different games to choose from with most offering a fun time.

[@FrameRater]

I hated Rayman Raving Rabbids 2.

[@gabrielsegarra7425]

I prefer the Wii version because the game was made for Wii Motion controls

[@nicks4802]

does anybody remember those CD roms that came in cereal for this game? it was like a playable beta demo with stuff that never ended up in the game. i remember playing it at a friends house, and there being a bit in it where you had to move your mouse in circles to try to throw a rabbid as far as you could. thats lost content now, no?

[@FrameRater]

Do you mean Rayman Raving Rabbids 2?

[@Kemuja]

I own a Raving Rabbits Collection disk for Wii (it basicaly contains the 1st, 2nd and TV Party)

[@troin3925]

This port also has some missing shadows, the warp effect during the second teeth minigame is gone and the cutscene where you're awarded the plunger has a weird placement of the camera and even the plunger model itself doesn't fly off of the hand correctly.

[@xbroggiex]

Okay, why didn't rayman just climb out once he had 2 plungers?

[@FrameRater]

Because the Trump tower incident took place way later man

[@OriginalWaybackMate]

Finally someone giving the rabbids the review they deserved

[@pferreira1983]

I haven't played all the games but I really enjoyed the original Raving Rabbids on Wii even though I'm not into party mini games. Having said that the mini game where you have to run is real life exhaustion. Not sure what the developers were thinking there. 😆

[@ShougHell]

Why does the footage of the Live Vision Camera minigames look like it was recorded from composite cables?

[@FrameRater]

That was from a live stream, I didn't have HDMI capture that connected to my PC at the time.

[@Milkiy-Hazard]

I enjoyed rabbids 1 & 2.. the only ones I ever played. The second one was the most fun for multiplayer. Me and my friends would laugh so hard I pissed my pants.

[@maximus4765]

Ubisoft: Let's make this a minigame compilation so it works on specifically well on the wii Also Ubisoft: Let's make it on other things too thus making the previous statement pointless.

[@leticia1047]

Now time for Raving rabbids 2 right? ..... RIGHT?!

[@troin3925]

I can understand why you didn’t like the sequel and thought the first game was better. Personally, I like the sequel and TV Party more and they make me laugh more. Though, that’s probably because I played Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 first as a kid and didn’t play the first game until I was in my teens. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the first game and thought it was fun (being able to grab the Rabbids in the shooting games for instance makes them much more fun than the ones in the second game, even if the scale isn’t as big as the second), I just personally like the second more. Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is one of those games that’s best played with friends rather than solo (which is one of my favorite aspects of that one), which is probably why you enjoyed it less (along with the other reasons you mentioned).

[@JessicaFEREM]

does the live view games work with the connect?

[@okamiodonnell9153]

Reminder that Mario is having a crossover with Rabbids, not Rayman. A more logical choice. Not saying Kingdom Battle looks bad, but a proper Mario & Rayman crossover would've most likely been way better.

[@LeaderOfTheRabbids]

ChaosKirby really? Because Assassin’s creed made more money than any of Ubisoft’s other franchises, so blame them instead.

[@octoisgay]

lmao

[@akifalkhalifi4072]

how to find that vision camera video ?

[@jonathanplooij3666]

i wish ubisoft made more 3d platformers

[@Mangombage]

It's really stupid that the 360 version got the lowest ratings out of all versions even though this is the most serperior version!

[@jabmaster1000]

Mangombage it's got the best graphics but a lot of the mini games feel better while holding the Wii mote and nunchuck. For example, would you rather trace a sausage with a pointer that can quickly jet to another location in the blink of an eye or slowly move a cursor and lose time as a result?

[@FrameRater]

@Jab Master that really only applies to a small number of minigames though.

[@Kamil999666gmail]

Its plays better with wii remote then x360 gamepad, simple as that.

[@Arbteron]

I had the PS2 version, but I sold it get Mariokart 7...

[@milkmedia1657]

I love how you like rabbids just like me

[@chaosq_]

Frame rater, I really wanna get rayman raving rabbids Xbox 360 version but I can't rent it from gamefly and buying it online costs 90$ what should I do?

[@FrameRater]

I did a quick eBay search, you'd be paying much less than $90 for a copy!

[@chaosq_]

FrameRater Thank you!

[@astralmaster]

NatesDumbFun can’t you get it digitally?

[@nebuladx5760]

So when we gonna get a switch port?

[@unoriginalname6333]

Hey, KZbin! :) Also, I didn't expect this game to look good.

[@FrameRater]

Unfortunately critics gave this release a bad rating simply because it "didn't need to be on the Xbox 360", despite it being the best version of the game out there. So technically, the inferior version had better scores.

[@unoriginalname6333]

Well then. That's some interesting history.

[@altareego5368]

I feel like it felt better on the Wii. Probably cause it was the only one you could play "multiplayer". Me and my cousin would play with one holding the Wii mote and one holding the nun chuck.

[@bertfromseasamestreet]

Woo!

[@master_alex8605]

a question what is the best version of rayman raving rabbids

[@greenD7244]

There is no best version exactly. The game was designed with the Wii in mind so the Wii has the best controls, but the 360 version has better graphics and 2 extra mini-games.

[@master_alex8605]

@@greenD7244 thankyou

[@codezero7981]

this series is so much better on the Wii.

[@ThorHanson2005]

PS2: hOld mY bEEr

[@Dragon_14]

Best game ever plus the best rayman games and the the 360 version looks so good to me also took so long to watch this I avoided this for a while

[@warem2531]

Can i play online this game with party members? steam plattform

[@FrameRater]

Nope, sorry.

[@astralmaster]

You can in parsec

[@TheBoxyBear]

Looks like the long loading times seems to be coming from a CPU bottleneck. Playing on Series X, it loads in under a second even when running off an external hard drive. It could also be a storage bottleneck however since Xbox One and onwards demand pretty fast hard drives and you can't just run 360 games off the disc. I'd have to test with the same hard drive on an original 360 to confirm. Love how the splash screen is just the 360 logo while every other game I tried had some artwork at least related to the game, first time I saw it I legit thought the emulator had froze. Also good luck completing it, they miscalculated required scores for the final unlocks and achievements, making them impossible to obtain even if you play all the minigames perfectly. This is almost as bigt a facepalm as the self-referencing "Earn every achievement." achievement in Cars Race-O-Rama. Source: TrueAchievements.

[@abrahamicreligionsbowbefor3585]

It's backwards compatitable?

[@Goat0423]

Yeah, it is, you don’t hear a lot about it but it is on Xbox One/One S/One X and Series X/S. The load times as mentioned here are miles better.

[@Chihiro_Fujisaki]

The xbox version was pretty good but the wii is the way to go

[@jackcottle8144]

The Rabbids killed the rayman

[@JULIAN-qs4ed]

those stupid rabbids killed rayman
