"Hare - Animal ear long, mind, short-tempered and violent Shocking what musical ..." - scratch out for sure on the Birch rollout, some young naturalist of antiquity. Would add: "Body of strong and prone to conquer the world." It is known for and that Zaitsev well, very bad reaction (this is even a whole mini-game is), but because a lot of water has flowed since then, as the cute rodents, and fox, wolf, and resentful, mysteriously disappeared from the planet. And quite a bit before the Great Long-eared Civilization suddenly zaykopodobnyh built near the giant robot and moved troops to the border of the reservation. Long or a short is, the army got to the edge ...

"I really like to tie was as simple as possible and understandable - is justified by Michel Ancel to reporters. - Distracted hares secretly for centuries nurtured plans to conquer the world ... It's their time! This is one big cliche and utter nonsense, and not a novel in dust jacket. Yes, primitive, but at the same time gives a free hand and give a good kick imagination, in such circumstances, much more funny situations and characters are free to do as they please. Do not have these your ancient legends, lost civilizations and other junk. It is a comedy! Like "Mars Attacks!" Or movies from "Monty Python". Absurdity and fun! "

All as promised: Hare no-COH-so do not close the door behind him. Would have helped. All at once. Otherwise - vantuzom forehead. It hurts ... Before each game signs management - as usual letters, and hares, not in word but in deed explaining how to use the controller.


I must say that it is in these words from a recent interview there is no guile. But let us return briefly to a couple of years ago, in Montpellier, where, under the strict guidance of Ansel and nedremannym eye of Jackson is nearing the end of the work on the game with nekorotkim named Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie. Bah! Whose ears stick out? That's right - a hare! In thinking about how should look like the main enemy of Raimi in the new game, Michel Ancel ... a little carried away. Even then, ominous shadows began to be eared for him (and then to the other seven dozen team members) at night and even at lunchtime. Not surprisingly, the next project team won, barely, "King Kong" went to press. Or even half an hour earlier.

Rayman Raving Rabbids Ears plot

When the hares decided to enslave the world Raimi, they began with the principal - put away behind bars himself a hero. And the fact is true: how many villains have already who started with an attack on the White House found its inglorious end in a battle with bothersome and mighty hero-savior. And then you can throw the hope of all mankind in the Coliseum for the amusement of the crowd, and the trick is done - no one will disturb settle on a defenseless world, to oppress the indigenous population, looting and not close the door of the toilet. So the whole game Reymenu only need to wake up in the morning and blows under the Hare-guard to enter the arena - at the mercy of the next three mini-games, an optional "qualification" phase, and some "final test of every day." Initially, Rabbits, viewers perceive a stranger in a hostile reception: sneaked into the stands weapon - vantuzy, beaters yes skimmers, wherewith threatening shock, coming into a rage on your success. Day by day, their attitude is changing, at some point Raimi even become a real national hero, in a comfortable chamber is among the rugs and postcards from zaychih-fans can find a place even the music center! That, however, does not prevent crafty hare times from time to hand him one and the same prize - vantuz. But our hero is not so simple: the struggle for a noble and vantuz - an instrument of Providence. Escape is inevitable! But the final game deliberately open. That makes us think, not a continuation of whether history will tell us the upcoming version of RRR for the other consoles?

Perhaps because of this haste, despite the reasonableness of the main idea (at that time it became clear that the new adventures of Raimi would be, um, different from previous ones), game concept has changed more than once. Until some day, even the creators of X-Men did not always know what will be the end - the development of the world, style and characters overshadow everything else. One would think: well, Raimi will run well again over the levels to save the cherished good characters from artful rabbits. At the core - the same JADE engine, multi engine, not just run-in with Ubisoft in order to produce rabbit successful games of all-everything console. Serene beauty! And then sent devkity Nintendo Wii.

"Management is so simple and understandable - choking master - because both hands Raimi is easily assigned to each of the halves of the controller. You can not imagine how convenient to manage an eagle in the sky or a shark in a sea of ​​simple hand movements! But still have to dance with the bunnies! I'll leave you alone with imagination! .. "

In a world of winning Zaitsev was no place for the next Need for Speed. Instead - an insane rodeo on pig-mutants! "It's the master is afraid!" In our case, the point - it's Rabbits, and a master hand - a shovel.
But behind the scenes E3 became increasingly apparent discord between the conceived platformernym sequel ... and so much calling the soul. More ... More of our spy at Ubisoft exposed nowhere grafted Hare in the form of Secret Service agent, and information flow was interrupted.Like, Michel Ancel has left refine originally conceived the game in the care of colleagues, and himself with a handful of close plunged into the creation of a secret, "the other" - one of which until recently no one knew. Time passed, passed, passed, passed, and suddenly sank at around "14 November" when hypnotized many videos about life and the life of a nutty Zaitsev gamer brethren rushed to stores for the Nintendo Wii consoles and boxes with the game Rayman Raving Rabbids. Plug - in the socket, the disc - in the gap! The game starts.

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!

It is time to draw back the curtain of secrecy: RRR for the Wii - not platformer. This is ... collection of mini-games! Now, when all other versions are only approaching the finish line (though, in the wording say, that from day to day we will get the PC-version), you can not say with certainty, but I'm willing to bet: "our" Rabbits - a prologue, the background major events that will take to present multi-platform, "other" Hares. Will they become better? An open question. But they have very, very hard to surpass the current Zaitsev.

"The sudden appearance of Hardcore scripting Monsters" (one piece). Western - he and the hare western. But to find analogies with Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is not difficult.
Carefully look in the estimate. Eight points. If you do not see anything wrong in the harmonious collection of mini-games, more than that - like disk acknowledge a right to someone's love and something to be called a separate genre, Fit the polballa. If we assume that all the mini-fun (even the best) with an iron fist must drive into the ghetto, the bonus levels of the "normal game", do not hesitate polballa subtracted. The truth, as usual, somewhere in between. At the level of "8.0". And - yes. This is just ("a"? ") Collection of mini-games. Collection, where the simple and unpretentious fun interspersed with very deep in terms of gameplay - and all for a sign of unreason, chaos, rabbit squeal, vantuzov and gambling fervor felt an unshakable sense of proportion. Authors are generally very thin feel, what is the idea "is good as long as fresh, and what is not ashamed to file under three different sauces. And it's not on duty "spoon of honey" and hastily cobbled together praise, but rather, I assure you, the exquisite compliment! How many collections and get-togethers we had seen, and settled in memory only Mario Party so WarioWare - as an example of the unity of an unimaginable set of trivia. After all, what should be every good mini-game?

Rayman Raving Rabbids One ear - well, and two ears - better!

Although the main highway entirely one-sided game - to save the rabbit from Raimi's torture chambers can only solo - the game has something to please and a noisy company, nagryanuvshuyu visit. After passing through the open access to all the seventy-plus mini-games, helpfully divided into categories. For example, Bunny Hunt will offer all ten levels vantuz rail-shooter, with two, three and four of them can take place in different ways - using the Co-op, VS. and Co-op VS. Time. They do not differ much, but for numerous reasons pereprohozhdeny give enough.The same thing - with dancing and racing levels, with the only difference being that they have to share the TV screen by the number of participants. In other categories - a mini-game "sport" and "professional." First sleeves with you seven pots (not in vain on the icon bar drawn), forcing the controller to swing, and the second turn to the field more intelligent - wit and skill. In fairness it should be noted that not all represented in the collection of mini-games allow gamers to simultaneously entertain multiple: often has to do bored scheme "set records in the queue." That in itself is not bad (otherwise, the selection would suffer one-sided), but what is called "sludge remained.

Indeed, what?

First (and important!), Bored. To even the most weary of production feats boring after five minutes - the mouth to the ears and mood balloon from the ceiling still. Secondly, the mini-game must be ideological. Hardly the public would accept such a warm Rayman Raving Rabbids, not upryach developers for long ears of their charges really fun and clever gameplay. A good aphorism is always better than a bad novel.

"Rabbits are always steal someone else's script!" Virtually every level of Bunny Hunt parodies some game. How many years have passed, but he's still the same ... Learned? Chains are Doom 3!
Third, the mini-games should be varied. Many remember the pirate eight-cartridge "50 in 1, where in fact been recorded only different" visibility "of the same game. No matter how brilliant we may seem to Tetris, but the ten tetris under one cover - this is unbearable.

And finally, fourthly, a good collection of mini-games should - must! - Be that inexplicable spark that makes a heap of scattered limbs comes true - a whole! - Hare. With their ears, and a tremendous vantuzom desire to enslave the world. That spark, for which want to return again and again to favorite pastimes - not for the sake of the record and bonuses for fun. A good collection of mini-games will not lie on the shelf real corpse once passed (pobezhdennoy!) games - he will live! Shown to friends, overplayed, cheer up the long winter evenings. On these games to say that they have a soul. Even though it is a restless soul opoloumevshey long-eared civilization.

Rayman Raving Rabbids Hares vybegaytsy

How to come up with Michel Ancel Zaitsev, no big secret: a man with long ears had become the focus of evil in the world could barely be afoot when the "new game about Raimi. Sacrament in the way of a single ink sketches are born whole civilizations. After all, whatever one may say, the game came out is not about Raimi, he is here only the second violin, a gift that glavgeroy. In its place could be even Spider-Man, though Yoshi, Lara Croft even those of its guns. Because the soloist here hares! Lots and lots of very psyched, muzzy and to colic eared fun! Gamer I am among them erased in many parts of gameplay hero is not even visible - it is meant for the staff (for example, relsoshuternyh levels with a view of the eye).But the industry was born yet another brand - Raving Rabbids. From the Japanese name Raimi has already thrown out, the game is simply called Rabbids Party. Yes, and continuing (already there is no doubt that we are witnessing the conception of the new series) Raimi will likely not be needed. Because hares, as they say, "shot". Their memorable.

As you may have guessed, in Rayman Raving Rabbids has it all. Just listen to these titles! "Rabbits will never give gifts," "Rabbits can not fly," "Rabbits are not milking cows", "Rabbits can not play hide and seek," "Rabbits do not shear sheep," "Rabbits heartless when it comes to the pig," " Rabbits sleep poorly, "" Rabbits tyryat foreign scripts "... All these rules - more than fifty, and each has a game incarnation. What's more - each were invented specifically for the unique capabilities of Wii. Consider a couple of examples. So, imagine: the backyard (cesspool, in nashenski) at one end - you pig under his arm, on the other - tearful mother-pig. Objective: To contribute to the touching reunion of the family, that is to say, maneuvering between the hills of junk, to deliver another one of Piglet. It's simple? There is a catch. Yard ... mined more precisely, zazaychirovan! One wrong step - and out of the ground with a wild scream and a gas burner pops eared mug, and in an instant a whiff of fresh delicious barbeque. Truly, Rabbits heartless when it comes to hryushek! Therefore it is not stupid, and attach to your ear Wii-remote and cautiously, step by step walk, listening to the grunts of the ward svinenka: if the baby became restless and began to whine, so ahead of the ambush, bypass a dangerous place party. A little luck and patience - and the trick is done. And here is how the blind man's buff in rabbit. High in the sky hung a small island, brim full of traps. At its center - Hare blindfolded. With the help of a dial tone (in right hand) and bell (left) Hare to lure in the traps, the high-voltage batteries, cacti and a blazing fire; goal: to score as many points for a limited time. You wonder how this game has managed to get the voting age «E» (that is to say, is sold without any age restrictions)? Very simple: Rabbits - enemies of democracy. And the enemies of democracy, as is known, should be tortured. For example, double-crested tie to a rotating target for darts and throw vantuzami. For each headshots - a bonus!

So, stop! What the hell is in the western do Superman and giant robots? Well another double! Admit it, you have never ran on tiptoe!
Upon completion of Rayman Raving Rabbids you get a set of previously divided into separate mini-game fun: eared shooter - a merry rail shooter with 10 levels, where instead of a light gun uses Wii-Remote, Zaytsetantsev - a good set of music tracks for dance Wii-simulator and Hryunotreka - several tracks for drifting gryaznyuschih riding boar-age.Very generously, especially when taking into account the sociable multiplayer for four!

Rayman Raving Rabbids Eared Records
Rayman Raving Rabbids
Resort to repetition of favorite mini-games offered not just so, and with good intent. It is worth podnakopit points or beat another record, the game does not only please the next series of pictures or amusing video clips from life eared rulers of the world, but also helpfully suggest to get online to before all the white light hvastnut achievements. The console is still not connected to the web? It's okay! Here you have a special code, go to work or internet cafes to www.raymanzone.com and include your own. For the champions, by the way, provides for a system of ranks and rewards - like all humans.

Not all carrot Hare

And how! The same pig-minesweeper sometimes for some unknown reason (unknown to us, but because someone in her surely deprived premium) refuses hryukom alert, condemning themselves to grill instead embraces a loving mommy. And during the flight there is a feeling that the air medium replaced with oil: so inhibited hero behaves. Not too easy when you have to race against time. A similar, otherwise you will not say, sloppiness - the payment for publishing the cream with the launch of a new-line Console - emerges in all, and in the first place went to, of course, graphics. Leave now useless complaining about the number of polygons and the overall technical level in the spirit of "good depressed the past (as is already the past?) Generation" - is not just sloppiness, and the costs of past cross-platform, multiplied by the rush. The true negligence manifests itself, as usual, is in the details. Here is a hero different costumes - so it is necessary to test and if necessary, to diversify the entire animation, not to falling down a welcome gesture in the depths of an immense sombrero! If you already have decided to put on stage two bunches of grass, so let at least pretends to be moving under the boots running through Raimi! And so on. Keen eye and strong will for anything to grab. But the main thing is still not cancel: raschudesny design ("geometric" - as in the m / f "Madagascar") and confident animation is more than cover all the flaws. But already an abundance of pleasant things about which many games and their creators tend to forget in a hurry and do press down a spoonful of tar somewhere to the bottom of the barrel.
