This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 for Nintendo Wii
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 for Nintendo Wii is a party game in which the rabbits try to understand and conquer our world. Their headquarters is a shopping mall; Rayman infiltrates the Rabbids in disguise. Tasks turn everyday situations into short contests involving rhythm, aiming and reactions. You might join musical performances or outdo an opponent with the right gesture. Each trial has its own rules and a score to improve.
In Trips, you play a sequence of trials. You can travel alone as Rayman or take part locally with up to four players. Unlocked activities appear in Free Play for separate practice. Trip Customization lets you assemble your own trip from available trials. The mall also offers clothing, a jukebox and shooting games. You can therefore alternate a complete contest sequence with focused practice on one difficult task.
The Wii Remote and Nunchuk serve different gestures and aiming tasks; each trial’s instructions show what is needed. Each simultaneous participant needs their own controllers. Easy simplifies controls but does not save high scores; use Normal for records. This original Wii game offers local contests, not a promise of functioning online leaderboards. The Nintendo DS release is a different game. The later TV Party with Balance Board activities is not part of this disc either.
Region and language
Our Nintendo Wii games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 for Nintendo Wii includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
Ubisoft brought Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 to Wii in November 2007, a year after the first game. The May announcement no longer presented the rabbits solely as Rayman’s jailers. They turned their attention to the human world, using a shopping mall as a base. Rayman joined them in disguise. This change gave the short trials a new backdrop: human customs and familiar locations became material for new jokes and contests.
The sequel placed greater emphasis on shared play. The final manual allowed Trips to begin alone or with up to four players rather than first requiring Rayman’s full prison story. Creating custom trips also gave players more control over trial order. The game retained separate rules and instructions for each activity. That structure separates merely making many gestures from understanding which brief action a particular contest requires.
The shopping base connected trial selection with clothing and music. This fitted the Rabbids’ growing role as recognisable characters alongside Rayman. TV Party followed in 2008, using television programmes as its theme and the Balance Board in certain activities. Raving Rabbids 2 stands between them as the world-tour instalment with custom contests. Its Wii content must remain distinct from the Nintendo DS version and the other games later combined in collections.
Similar games for Nintendo Wii
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 builds on short gesture-based tasks and rabbit humour on Wii. Its trials use everyday settings and a wider world tour as their backdrop. The first instalment keeps Rayman captive near an arena and ties progress to individual days. If you want to work through those daily qualifiers, this game places a clearer prison story around the collection.
WarioWare: Smooth Moves also uses unexpected gestures and brief rules on Wii. Its microgames often last only a few seconds and arrive in quick succession. Raving Rabbids 2 gives a trial more time for a rhythm, objective or score. It explains more beforehand and lets you repeat an unlocked challenge separately rather than continually completing a chain of ultra-short reactions.
Wii Play uses a smaller set of activities to practise pointing and moving the remote on Wii. Its shooting range and simple billiards have much plainer presentation than Rayman’s performances. Raving Rabbids 2 builds each task around a joke, rhythm or unusual action. Both let you improve scores, but the rabbits more often give the rules an unexpected form.
TV Party and Raving Rabbids 2 use the same rabbit humour and short tasks on Wii but connect them differently. TV Party turns television programmes and adverts into a playful schedule, using the Balance Board in certain activities. Raving Rabbids 2 centres on trips from the mall and lacks those Balance Board trials. Here you choose trips and custom sequences rather than television channels.
Mario Party 8 and Raving Rabbids 2 both offer local group minigames on Wii. Mario’s board routes, coins and stars determine the longer contest. Raving Rabbids 2 uses trips with successive trials and lets you assemble your own sequence. Results from the short tasks feed directly into scoring without intervening rolls across a game board.
