I have to admit that this is my first foray into the world of Rayman. So for those of you who, like me, have not had the pleasure: Rayman is an, er.. well he's a.. well, from what I can gather, Rayman is a floating head with floating hands. He seems to be the protector of a bunch of glow worms who are apparently under attack from maniacal rabbits. I don't think I need to tell you that this game is aimed at an audience who would find this sort of plot normal - no, I don't mean students !!
Of all the games I've played - and by golly, I've played my share - this is the strangest. The game is in fact a series of mini-games, including toss the cow and draw the food. The Wiimote is used to good effect and the graphics are very nice, but I just couldn't get into it.
Look, this is for kids, plain and simple. Anyone over the age of 12 is probably going to find this game too silly, but at the same time it might be too difficult for the very young.
