Rabbids Alive and Kicking
SCORE: 79
The Rabbids franchise is alive and well
over at Ubisoft. The latest release with these characters comes to the
Xbox 360 Kinect. Rabbids Alive & Kicking will have family members up and
moving around. The ESRB put a rating of everyone ten years old and
older. I would recommend families follow that at a bare minimum.
Children under the age of ten can be worked up by this home console
title.
Rabbids Alive & Kicking is all about the visual humor. There are various
situations where the poor little rabbids take all kinds of damage. In
some mini games the player can slap them around. I felt bad for the
rabbids when I was taught to knock them around. They didn't do anything
bad to me, so why would I want to abuse them?
The level of details in Rabbids Alive & Kicking is really good. I could
quickly tell what different things are in this Kinect game. Toilet
paper, and cheerleaders are some of the images that stick out to me.
Other things like cows, and giant robot aliens also come to mind.
Rabbids Alive & Kicking will take photos of family members in certain
poses. Few will be flattering.
The crude humor does not stop in the visuals though. It is carried
through with certain sounds as well. Expect to hear them frequently -
especially the ones where you are knocking the rabbids around. There are
some mini games in Rabbids Alive & Kicking that will require the player
to sound off audible to the Kinect sensor.
Rabbids Alive & Kicking contains enough mini games to keep families busy
for weeks. Rabbids Alive & Kicking is best played with two or more
people as well. There are one player mini games in Rabbids Alive &
Kicking, but I really feel this game is better as a party game. Rabbids
Alive & Kicking is also an exercise game. I know officially it is not
considered an exercise game, but any game that has us move this much is
one.
The rabbids population explodes after a mad scientist mixes one with a
cow. His intention was to multiple the rabbids. His success is at
Biblical levels, and probably more than he was hoping for. That is why
we have to abuse them in so many mini games. Their goal is to take over
the world, and it is up to us to stop them. Yeah I know that story has
never been used in the video game industry before.
The best thing about Rabbids Alive & Kicking is getting up and getting
some exercise. I love doing that. I love how Rabbids Alive & Kicking
makes it so much fun. The biggest drawback to Rabbids Alive & Kicking is
the humor. It is in the toilet - literally in the toilet. Families will
have to decide for themselves whether on Rabbids Alive & Kicking.
