Review my review!
I just got the most awesome job writing reviews for a great gaming site. Like video games? Like reading reviews? check it out!

Here is my review:
I must start by making a terribly embarrassing admission - I am a 27 year old who loves ridiculously designed and easy to play and beat mini-games. I can't help it. I believe it stems from early childhood memories of the Nintendo NES and hours upon hours spent playing Mario Brothers and being entranced and awed by the fabulous world in which those lovable Nintendo characters lived.
Now that we have 3D graphics (The Wii is incredible) and the user experience of actually being the characters (Wii remotes rock), mixed in with a new breed of Nintendo characters to love (what could be more lovable than rabid rabbits?), I have reverted to acting like a ten year old. My seventeen year reversion is furthered by the fact that Rayman offers delectably funny games like a cow toss, eating contests, bunnies on toilets, and rhythm/time keeping dancing games where bunnies hop around the screen clad in disco balls and flashy lights.
If you were a fan of the first Rayman Raving Rabids like I was, then you are probably already wetting your pants in excitement for number two. If you aren't, you should be. Nintendo promises even more ridiculous, laugh until you cry games in their second installment of Raving Rabids, where you play as the bunnies rather than Rayman, the lovable hero. Reviews are out where players speak of a game in which you help the Rabids scrub their undies in a wash bin until they are clean. Player beware - if you scrub too long, the drawers will disintegrate and you lose, if you don?t scrub long enough, your bunnies will have skid marks left in their shorts.
Aside from offering great new games, Rabids allows for all the original hilarity. You can dress your Rabids as your favorite heroes and characters, or give them outfits that would embarrass your grandma. The game is also multi-player, which creates the perfect scenario for a LAN-party game to play in between intense sessions of Halo 3. If you still aren't convinced that you need to buy this game when it's released, go pick up a copy of the original Rayman Raving Rabids. If you make it through the entire game without laughing, call me so I go over with you what it means to have a personality.
