Fail, and your poor wildebeest will face-plant it, legs askew. The more you complete, the weirder the moves and the more likely you are to land safely. To successfully land and gain a speed boost, you must move the Wii remote and nunchuk in the directions indicated on-screen as they pop up. This takes you onto a separate screen where the Rabbid and the 'Beest perform a delicate dance of love mid-air. To make things more interesting, you can take your shaggy bull off some sweet jumps.

YES NO Once your Rabbid is pounding the slopes on his steer of choice, you have to weave between flag posts while avoiding trees and obstacles in your path. To make things more interesting, up to four players (presumably each supplying their own Wii Fit boards) can get in on the bum-racing shenanigans. Simply lean to the left and your wildebeest will careen to the left tip to the right and you'll slide that way. In terms of sensitivity, the pressure your butt cheeks apply to each side of the board feels quite analogue in practice. If you're some strange blight on the face of nature and you don't have a butt, however, there's probably nothing to stop you from standing on the Wii Fit board and steering that way too.

In 'Beestie Boarding', as outlined above, the steering is completely handled by your bumcheeks. The second, a four-player dance off, compelled players to 'get down, get down with the boogie' to the rhythms of 'Jungle Boogie' – and we'll delve into the finer points of remote waggling a little further below. Of the two games shown out of a promised 65 or more in the final game, wildebeest racing was arguably the more unique offering. So awesome.Īt this year's Ubidays 2008 in Paris, France, we were invited to put inhibitions aside and take to the slopes for some Wildebeest Xtreme skiing. While I have you, I just want to point out how vastly superior the French name is – 'Rayman Productions Presents: The Lapins Cretins Show'. The game hinges around a TV schedule – morning TV programs for kids, for instance, and we'd presume some mock-adult-oriented news casts and movies later in the evening.


Given that the Wii Fit board was designed to get gamers off their butts, Ubisoft has hilariously taken a very deliberate backwards step with the latest Raving Rabbids offering, Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party.
