I found this new book at work today called "1001 Games You Must Play Before You Die" or something, and surprise surprise they only listed Rayman Raving Rabbids among it. Can't remember what it fully said but one line said "these characters are more known than the original Rayman series"; bullshit. The second thing that's bullshit about this is how a glitchfest [the way I see it now I'm more bothered by how many game breaking glitches there were rather than what it was going to be] could even make it in such a book. Apparently those 1001 games are supposed to be spectacular, maybe I should give it a proper look but whatever, I'm not well and probably being retarded.
Sorry for the late reply.
I remember seeing it in Waterstones and was surprised to find it instead of any of the Rayman Games- particularly Rayman 2. That game is a masterpiece.

I can only hope that it'll be an improvement as far as controls go especially if they claim it's gonna be waggle free.

According to my Official Nintendo Magazine, it is, and I quote:
For a kids' game, Travel in Time is horrible at guiding the player. It's all over the place.
It was also given a Score of 40%.

Only that? That's a poor scoring then... I will wait for IGN's and Gamespot's reviews.

Perhaps it will flop and kill off this cancerous series at last.

Ouuuuuuuch x: Well, better wait till other reviewers have their say, and remember that not all games that are rated poorly by critics necessarily flop. :/

I found the 16-bits convertion in Ubisoft's title funny.

I'll also be aware to magazines here to see if I also catch reviews about the game.

EDIT: I've checked Gamespot's website. They haven't a review yet but if you acess the Wii page, there are Rabbids Travel in Time propagande.

I finished now to watch the video. The graphics for me seem better than RGH's. Now I've heard from them that the game is compactibile with Wii Motion Plus acessory, but it leaves a lot to desire. I guess the controls aren't very precise on the mini-games that use it.

I'll keep waiting for reviews, especially from IGN and Gamespot.

I think it looks cool, kind of a mix of a platforming mini-game compilation, I think I'll buy it.

(Let's see if in Portugal too, if ECOFILMES behaves well.)

Is that like your country's games distributor or something?

It should be out here tomorrow indeed, if I get time to quickly look in the game shops when I arrive in my bf's town, I'll see if it's on sale there.

ECOFILMES (Years ago it was called ECOGAMES) is the Portuguese distributor responsible for Ubisoft's games selling and distribution inside Portugal (Since there's no Ubisoft Portugal or Iberian Ubisoft). The problem is that this enterprise delays the releases of Ubisoft's games here, I do remember well when in Nintendo Wii's Europe release day, Rayman Raving Rabbids release in Portugal was delayed for unknown reasons. Only 2 weeks later I spotted the game in the shelves. The same happened with RGH, it got 1 week delayed.
