Matt Leone
November 11, 2009 - Good - Everything from the soundtrack to the customization features to the virtual pet-style Rabbid-inside-your-Wii Remote bonus mode adds enough personality to the relatively simple platforming to make this worth playing.
John Teti
November 16, 2009 - Good - Mario and Zelda aside, the Wii library has been aesthetically anemic for so long that it's tempting to grade the platform's games on a curve. Rabbids Go Home reminds us why that charity is unnecessary. The flesh of Nintendo's little white box is willing; this game provides some spirit to match.
Matt Cabral
December 8, 2009 - Good - Rabbids Go Home is a fun, often hilarious reboot of a franchise that desperately needed one. By not shoe-horning in Rayman, dropping the mini-game format, and crafting an enjoyable hybrid of the medium's most engaging styles - complemented by a spirited audio and visual presentation - Ubisoft has managed to deliver one of the Wii's best offerings in recent memory.
Dan Pearson
November 9, 2009 - Good - This isn't a purchase for hardcore enthusiasts or steely battlefield veterans with a thousand-yard stare and a pico-second response time. The rest of you, should you be able to engage your inner child, could well find a big old slice of the fun pie cooling on your windowsill.
November 9, 2009 - Good - Even though Rabbids Go Home can be a bit repetitive, the core gameplay is enjoyable enough that it doesn't distract from the overall experience. In fact, you'll be having such a good time that you're bound to forgive some of the game's technical hiccups.
Annette Gonzalez
November 3, 2009 - Good - Rabbids Go Home, though at times repetitive, is a fun game with laugh-out-loud animations. Any game with Rabbids in fisticuffs over a pouch of Capri Sun is okay in my book.
Aaron Koehn
November 16, 2009 - Good - Featuring an overdose of quirky charm and a wide range of fun-filled mini-games, gamers who aren't used to playing titles outside of the norm will be remiss if they don't give Rabbids Go Home a chance.
Meghan Watt
December 9, 2009 - Good - The lack of multiplayer and the agonizing repetition still unfortunately knock this game a notch below its predecessors, but a few fantastic adventures toward the end await those who can pull through.
Tom Mc Shea
November 10, 2009 - Good - After being stuck in minigames for a few years, Rabbids Go Home proves these crazy characters can carry their own adventure.
Tom Sykes
November 1, 2009 - Good - For your cash, you get a charming and original action title, which makes the best use of those Raving Rabbids yet.
November 30, 2009 - Good - With a hilarious franchise already established, it only seems fitting that the Rabbids get to star in something more substantial than another mini-game collection. The end result delivers a heart-warming and worthwhile experience that's unique, fast-paced, and provides endless laughs.
November 5, 2009 - Good - It's fair to say that Rabbids Go Home is a pretty shallow experience, and I'm uncertain if the novelty of the formula can support the weight of annualized sequels. But these facts do nothing to diminish the fact that I spent nearly the entire eight-or-so hours with the game wearing a stupid grin on my face, probably looking something like the Rabbids on my screen.
November 3, 2009 - Good - What the game lacks in narrative arch and difficulty progression it makes up for with some hilarious Rabbid antics. Meanwhile, I found all the collecting engaging, not annoying -- but be warned that there's a lot of it.
Luke Albiges
November 9, 2009 - Good - It's a wholly entertaining romp filled with non-stop nonsense and inspired moments that set it apart from almost every other Wii game. But while it might be among the most ridiculous titles we've seen in years, this latest Rabbids release is pretty much the polar opposite of the rest of Ubisoft's output and is all the more enjoyable for it.
November 4, 2009 - Good - Rabbids Go Home is absolutely crammed with belly laughs and we couldn't recommend it highly enough for younger gamers. After New Super Mario Bros Wii, this is the game pre-teens should get in their Chrimbo stockings this year.
Paul Newcombe
November 24, 2009 - Good - It may not trouble many end of year top ten lists and could have certainly done with the first hour or so being condensed into a quarter of the time, but it does what it says on the tin solidly enough making it by far the most enjoyable Rabbids game yet.
Tom Orry
November 5, 2009 - Good - The whole adventure is bonkers from start to finish, and it's all the better for it. Rabbids Go Home won't be held up alongside true genre classics, but it's one of the best Wii games released this year and is sure to put a smile on your face.
Brad Hilderbrand
December 23, 2009 - Good - In a nutshell, Rabbids Go Home is an incredibly entertaining game that's almost sure to please... if you can get past its repetitive nature. This game is a big ball of goofy fun, and I truly hope that this is just the first in a long line of Rabbid-centric adventures.
