Rabbids Go Home is a comedy adventure like no other. Departing from the mini-game centric action of previous Rabbids games, Rabbids Go Home features open-world style mission gameplay centered around the Rabbids harebrained scheme to get to the moon. In true Rabbids form this entails over-the-top single player and multiplayer gameplay built around creating a pile made up of everyday and not so everyday items stolen from the consumer-crazed humans of planet Earth, that is literally tall enough to reach the edge of space.
Rabbids Go Home is the Rabbids first comedy-adventure, and will take them to the moon or bust. This time around, those crazy Rabbids have what they consider an infallible plan: collect all the human stuff they can find, haul away, heap it onto a giant pile and literally climb home to the moon. Crazy? yes, but that's the Rabbid's story and they are sticking to it. But not so fast! The humans revolt, unleashing the Verminators, a bumbling group of shock troops whose only objective is to exterminate the Rabbids before they haul away everything that the humans have. Gameplay Unlike the action of previous Rabbids games which were made up of a compilation of mini-games, Rabbids Go Home is more of a driving adventure/platformer game. Set in both indoor and outdoor 3D environments, action is mission-based, 40+ in all, and built around the Rabbids desire to get to the moon. Keeping with the franchises irreverent, over-the-top humor, the Rabbid's chosen means of doing this is to simply steal enough stuff from humans, pile it up and ascend that pile all the way to the moon. Since the moon is a long way away, a lot of stuff is needed to get there and this is where the player comes in. Progressing through the open-world missions players control a team of two Rabbids, and their main tool used in collecting items, a shopping cart. Movement of all three are controlled via the Wii Remote/nunchuck controller configuration, with a speed boost available by hitting the "A" button. Items to be collected vary widely, ranging all the way from clothing literally scared off paranoid humans, to livestock, with collection areas occurring both horizontally and vertically throughout the gameplay area. Items that can be collected appear as circled in the gameplay environment, and the more mess and mayhem that your Rabbids create, the more items become available. Again, since the pile the Rabbids need to accumulate is hefty, the game features a checkpoint system where you can offload your stash and go back for more without taking the chance of losing what you have. When done collecting, items are flushed down a toilet, leading to a sewer pipe, that leads to the ever-growing pile. But gameplay is more than just a scavenger hunt. Eventually players have to deal with a mobilized resistance by humans to the Rabbids behavior made up of a combination of the anti-Rabbid Verminator corps, waves of surveillance robots and kennels full of attack dogs, all determined to exterminate the Rabbids. Players can also look forward to 2-player mission support and several online features. Customization Rabbids Go Home also contains a Wii-specific customization mode, known as "Ze Wiimote," which mimics what the inside of players' Wii remotes would look like if a Rabbid was literally inside it. Here players can can customize the look of their Rabbids with spray paint and sticker effects, and save their favorite versions for use in-game and trading with friends. Key Game Features

5.0 out of 5 stars
What can I say?,
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Rabbids Go Home (Video Game)
I agree with the person who said that the first 2 reviewers gave this a 1 because it wasn't the mini game based thing that they expected. This game should be reviewed based on what it IS, not what someone expected it to be. A bit of research to know what you were buying would have saved you the trouble and would have saved this EXCELLENT adventure game from bad scores it doesn't deserve. As an adventure game, Rabbids Go Home is completely original. I've never heard of a game where you build a huge junk pile to get to the moon and thus go home. Or anything even close to that plotline. And you get there in the most crazed, fun, weird and wonderful ways you can hope for. One similarity there IS to the previous titles is the humor. The writing is once again clever and witty, with a lot of "What the....? YES!!!!!!!!" moments. The Rabbids are manic as usual, thank goodness! I've always thought their zaniness was the best part of the mini games. The game looks great too, they are really squeezing the Wii for all the graphical juice they can get out of it. The controls are much improved over previous Rabbids games, things are very fine tuned now and feels much more natural. All in all this game was amazing, I can't think of one single reason to dock any points.

The truth about Rabbids go home... It's NOT about RAYMAN!,
By Derek Vazquez "DaFynestRican" (Springfield, MA) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Rabbids Go Home (Video Game)
First off, if you are going into Rabbids Go Home expecting the mini-game fests of the other titles in the series, you will be disappointed. That's obviously what happened with the other reviewers did. I can honestly say that they should have read up on the title before their purchase. Rabbids never intended to be yet another sequel in the Rayman series. In fact, it doesn't even star Rayman! Ubisoft decided to take their crazy rabbit characters and move in a new direction and I feel they mostly succeeded. The graphics are detailed and stylized, the slapstick humor is nonsensical but funny as hell, and Rabbids IS a collect-a-thon, but rather than it being an excuse to extend gameplay (like with other games where you collect X amount of coins, tokens or what-have you) it actually has purpose in this title as it's the focus of the story and integral to the Rabbids goal of getting home. If you are open-minded and not expecting more of the same as before, you will really like Rabbids!!

This review is from: Rabbids Go Home (Video Game)
I had been reading up on this title since they first announced it so I knew that it wasnt going to be another minigame-filled waste of time (lord knows the Wii has enough of those!!) what I ended up getting was a great adventure title that I'm happy I purchased! Good graphics, catchy music, hilarious hijinks, and co-op play made this one a no-brainer for me. I hope they plan on extending this franchise. Hey, we don't even need Rayman... well, unless they plan on taking him back to his roots hehe
