''Rayman has infiltrated the Rabbids' base in disguise, hoping to prevent these stupid creatures from carrying out their crazy, evil plan.
After [[Rayman]] escapes from the [[Rabbid]]s and their Colosseum in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids|the previous game]], the [[Rabbid]]s decide to invade [[Earth]], particularly in Paris, France. The event as it was happening was being covered on TV, with [[Rayman]] watching it. He heads to [[Earth]] himself to stop the invasion. [[Rayman]] finds a mall that is taken over by [[Rabbid]]s. To avoid suspicion, [[Rayman]] loosely disguises himself as one of their own. As the hero safely reaches the top of the building, he oversees a herd of [[Rabbid]]s watching clips of [[human]] life. A [[Rabbid]] spots [[Rayman]], surprising him as he falls through an opening into the mall. Surrounded, a [[Rabbid]] with split colour eyes tries to tell if the intruder is [[Rayman]] or not. In order to take away the rising suspicion, [[Rayman]] (who had injected helium earlier to alter his voice) does the [[Rabbid]] scream and the spilt coloured is convinced it is a false alarm. [[Rayman]] is then directed into a flying submarine to a location for [[Rabbid]] invasion.
''
 
After [[Rayman]] completes all of the minigames, a [[Rabbid]] is seen guiding a submarine full of dressed up [[Rabbid]]s as it is parking. Later, a notice was taped onto the submarine, as the area they parked at was a no-submarine-zone. [[Rayman]] does not appear in the ending of the game.


Watching TV, Rayman finds out that the Rabbids have invaded Earth. He goes to their headquarters, which
is a shopping mall, and finds two Rabbids being guards as the other Rabbids enter the base to start work. Rayman quickly disguises as a Rabbid by putting two socks on his hair, wearing fake eyeballs and breathing in helium to sound like a Rabbid. Grabbing a coke can, he throws it to distract two Rabbid guards, thinking it was each other who made the sound (or just wanted to), start attacking each other. Rayman sneakily proceeds to hide behind another car and picks up the plunger the Rabbids threw away upon attacking each other. He places the Plunger into his Plunger Gun and climbs a ladder to the ceiling of the shop. He looks down through a glass roof, in view of Rabbids watching a video of human behavior. One of the Rabbids suddenly looks up to where Rayman is and startled, Rayman backs away and falls into a hole, landing right in the base itself. The Rabbids come closer to Rayman, ready to attack, when their leader arrives, a slightly larger rabbid with one blind eye, a comical reference to 'General Woundwort' a character from 'Watership Down', a 1972 best-selling novel by Richard Adams. The leader recognizes this 'Rabbid' as Rayman and gets out a copy of the European Rayman Raving Rabbids game to make sure it is him, but is struggling to make out the difference behind the rather obvious discuise. Rayman then does a Rabbid scream and the Rabbids, convinced he is one of them, allow him to take part in their mission as they set off for a continent to invade.
==Setting==
==Setting==
The main setting in the game is the shopping mall the Rabbids have taken over. From there the player can go do Trips, listen to music unlocked in minigames, customize Rayman and the Rabbids, and make a customized trip.

==Characters==
This game features Rayman and the Rabbids. Being a spin-off, this game focuses much more on the Rabbids than it does Rayman. In this game, Rayman acts like a Rabbid in order to keep himself unnoticed. The Rabbids are now more human like than they were in Rayman Raving Rabbids, doing human things and even having their own crazy way of speech.

[[File:Anaesthetics.jpg|thumb|320px|One of the minigames involve hitting a [[Rabbid]] until he falls asleep.]]
In the game you can choose from Trips Mode, Score Mode, Trips customization or the Plaza. In Trips mode you can choose from 5 different areas to visit. Then you take part in 5 randomly chose minigames
and a music one as the area's final. In Score Mode, you can replay the 45 minigames you unlocked in Trips and try to beat the high scores to unlock more Rabbid costumes. Trips customization lets you create up to three of your own trips and play them from the Trips menu. Lastly is the Plaza, where you can view the credits, listen to music you unlocked, play some FPS Plunger Shooters and customize Rayman or the Rabbids with more than 110 items of clothing. Rayman only has 9 costumes while the Rabbids have around 50. Also new to this game is the choose of easy mode or normal mode in both Trips and Score and simultaneous multiplayer in all of the minigames.
 
The Plunger Shooters are different from Rayman Raving Rabbids. Instead of polygon made worlds, they now take place in real world locations, because someone from Ubisoft went round filming locations and then Ubisoft added the Rabbids into it on the computer. To reload, you now have to pess the A button.
The grapple abilty is now gone. Finally, they are now more slow than they were in the original Rayman Raving Rabbids.
 
The music stages have changed too. Instead of dancing to the music, you now play it. You can choose from 4 different instruments and instead of Rabbids coming from the sides of the stage, you now have Wii Remote and Nunchuck symbols coming down from the top of the screen and when they get to the templates at the bottom of the screen, you must strike down whichever controller the symbol is of. Nunchuck symbols are always at the left and Wiimote symbols are always at the right. If you get a wobbly red circle when you hit a symbol, it means you did bad and you lose some points, if you get a wobbly yellow circle it means you did good and get no points, and if you get a green circle it means you got perfect and you gain some points. Also at certain times it will tell you you must either alternatively move the Nunchuck and Wii Remote up and down, swing the Wii Remote like a lasso or swing the Nunchuck like a lasso. All actions you must do as fast as possible to get the most points.
Note that in easy mode you don't actually play the song, you just do the actions.


In all Score Mode minigames you must get more than 12000 points in normal mode to get the trophy and unlock a Rabbid costume. In all Trips you must beat a total of 72000 points to get the trophy and unlock a Rabbid costume. On the highscores of each Score Mode minigame, [[Globox]] always has 12000 points, [[Betilla]] always has 9000 points and [[Murphy]] always has 6000 points. On the highscores of each Trip, Globox always has 72000 points, Betilla always has 54000 points and Murphy always has 36000 points. #

Also new to this game is the choice of easy mode or normal mode in both Trips and score mode and simultaneous multiplayer in all of the minigames.


==Interview==
The Plunger Shooters (previously known as Bunny Hunts) are different from ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''. Instead of polygon made worlds, they now take place in real world locations. The controls of how to use the [[plunger]]s are different, and the grapple ability is removed.
==Quotes from Loïc Gounon==


===(Game co-ordinator at Ubisoft Montpellier) in an Interview with the Official Nintendo Magazine===
The music stages have changed too. Instead of dancing to the music, the player now plays it. The player can choose from 4 different instruments and instead of [[Rabbid]]s coming from the sides of the stage, it is now Wii Remote and Nunchuck symbols coming down from the top of the screen and when they get to the templates at the bottom of the screen, the player must strike down whichever controller the symbol is of at the moment needed to score points. Nunchuck symbols are always at the left and Wii Remote symbols are always at the right. At certain times it will tell the player to either move the Nunchuck and Wii Remote up and down, swing the Wii Remote like a lasso or swing the Nunchuck like a lasso.


''"As many of the team made the original [[Rayman]], we were a little worried that fans were expecting a huge fantastical adventure that the Rayman games are so famous for, but we felt it was time to really have some fun an innovate. We hope the end result even if a little different, still puts a smile on their faces"''
In all score mode minigames the player must get more than 12000 points in normal mode to get the trophy and unlock a [[Rabbid]] costume. In all Trips the player must beat a total of 72000 points to get the trophy and unlock a [[Rabbid]] costume. On the highscores of each score mode minigame, [[Globox]] always has 12000 points, [[Betilla]] always has 9000 points and [[Murfy]] always has 6000 points. On the highscores of each Trip, [[Globox]] always has 72000 points, [[Betilla]] always has 54000 points and [[Murfy]] always has 36000 points.
 
''"Rayman has always faced enemies with a big presence and he is back to once again help the real world rid themselves of the Rabbids!"''
 
''"...stop the rabbids that are spreading insanity all over the world and save your best mate, Globox. In the arcade mode, [[Rayman]] will be one of the numerous playable characters amoung the [[Rabbid]]s..."''
 
''"...we have re-designed the first person plunger shooting with something very unique and the [[Rabbid]]s have also joined a rock band!"''

==Internet connection==
At the end of each minigame and trip, there is an icon for Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. If the player has internet connection for their Wii, they can send their score to www.ravingrabbids2.com. The player can then compare their score with those of other players and try to beat them.

Since an unknown date, this feature no longer works.
 
==PC version==
[[File:Rayman Szalone Kórliki 2.jpeg|thumb|250px|Polish port]]
 
A PC port, handled by [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Bulgaria]], was released in 2008. Gameplay mechanic was simplified, The Plunger Shooters and minigames with too complicated Wii control were removed, and the actions of the Wii Remote are substituted for mouse movements, keyboard directional keys or controller buttons. Appearance customization was changed to a selection of a choice of five characters ([[Rayman]] and four [[Rabbid]]s wearing different outfits). The number of playable games has been reduced to 16.
 
In Poland, the game was originally released by Komputer Świat Gry, split into 4 parts, each on its own CD containing 4 of the 16 minigames. The discs were color-coded to match the internal grouping of the games. A manual describing gameplay and installation process was included with each disc. Later, an edition with all 16 games has been released.
 
The Russian version was published by Buka (Бука) and contains all 16 games on one disc. It is available as a stand-alone release as well as a "Premium Games" bundle with ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' and ''[[Rabbids Go Home]]''.
 
The promotional disc from Cheese Heads (food product) included 4 minigames, although all 16 could still be accessed by launching the game with different launch arguments. A version with multiple languages (English, French, German, Italian and Spanish) which contained all 16 minigames was also released.
 
===Gameplay===
Like the Wii version, the game takes place in a shopping mall, but the number of options has been reduced. Instead of trips and trip customization, there is an arcade machine through which the games are played, a karaoke machine for configuring the game options and a bulletin board for the credits.
 
The player can choose a character to play with and a control method (mouse, keyboard or gamepad). When connecting two or more gamepads, a multiplayer mode of up to four players is possible. All characters are identical in terms of control and behavior, just their appearance varies.
 
The minigames are not grouped by geographical region as in the Wii version, but are split, seemingly arbitrarily, into four sections - blue, green, red and orange, of four games each. The premise of each game is largely identical to the Wii version. The goal is to get an entry on the high score table, beating the original scores of [[Globox]] (12000 points), [[Betilla]] (8000 points) and [[Murfy]] (4000 points). Any place on the table earns a trophy. Gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded to the first, second and third places, respectively. There are no cumulative scores, and no unlockable achievements.

==Trivia==
* Page 5 of the manual for the US Wii release of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids 2'' features a screenshot of the main menu from an earlier build of the game. The screenshot has several debug cheats that the player is meant to enter using the Wii Remote's D-Pad, along with summaries of what each cheat code was meant to do. However, none of these codes work in the final game.
