I never actually saw such a picture; I improvised the description. However I'm certain this will soon be a thing, if it isn't already.

I finished to play the story mode of Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party (Nintendo DS) for the first time.

This game works as a board game: if you fully win a mini-game (randomly chosen contrary to the previous DS game) you win 4 squares to move. If your result is so-so, you win 2 or 3 squares. If you really suck on it, or quit the game you win one square to move. The goal is to reach the square of the TV to remove Rabbids from the TV. If you remove them all, you have a mini-game where Rayman (with a drawing style that mixes R1, R2 and R3, that I find strange) needs to jump over obstacles to catch a Rabbid and like this earning the access to other channel. You repeat this proceeding 5 times to finish the story mode, so you'll end up in a vicious cycle of repetitiveness gameplay. There are some question mark squares that can either help you to remove the Rabbids faster, or doing worse. The minigames are in general, worse than in RRR2 for DS, and some of them are clear recycles of others with a change of textures and one 3D model or other. Some are ridiculously fast to complete, others are simply long and boring. I would like to talk about one that I find particularly dangerous for asmatic people: in order to recover a TV broadcasting, you need to blow air to the microphone to fully fill the gauge for the maximum score. And you need to repeat this four times. Believe me, I was blue in the end of the minigame. Make sure nobody is looking to you playing this minigame too. There seems to be three exclusive musics for the DS version that don't appear in the Wii version, and some sounds are recycled from Rayman 2: The Great Escape. The graphics aren't much different from the RRR2 for DS, same thing applies for the sound effects and music. Rayman's presence only happens in the board game and in the special pursuit mini-game, otherwise you don't see him at all, just Rabbids. You have have the score mode to beat your own records. There's a multiplayer mode but I didn't test it. And lastly, you have a costumizable Rabbid like in the previous game, but you can't decorate the background. Resuming, I think Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party for Nintendo DS is a game just to entertain you in minimum one afternoon and in maximum one week. There's nothing quite else to do with it after. I bought it in second hand for just 5€, boxed with manual but I think the game isn't more worth than this price. I give three stars out of five.

This is my review.

I played RRTVP DS a while back, but I can't remember much of it, though I do recall beating it, so I guess it's a worthwhile experience, though rather forgettable.

Might try it out if I see it for cheap price, but I don't think I would like it that much, seeing review.

You guys aren't really missing anything important, the experience is quickly forgetable like Master says. I've been playing the score mode and I don't think the game rewards you for anything if you collect all the golden trophies. The mini-games in score mode last for so much time that for most of them it is a good idea to turn off the sound.

Lol dude that's like the best part of the game and like over half of it! You've missed out on almost the whole game.

There aren't major reasons to play the score mode now (impossible to fully get maximum score in everything) especially after Ubisoft canceling the Hall of Fame and the hacking invasion in it.

I would only start the score mode over if RPC implemented a HOF of RRR1.

Why is it impossible? I read something about one of the dance minigames not working right, but I'm not going to get everything. Besides, I can probably find the last bonus thing online somewhere. I'm also not a very big online score guy, so I don't particularly care.

Also I believe the last unlockable bonus was just a third compilation of concept art.

I believe the bonuses aren't things we never saw before.
