Rabbids Land Initial Gameplay (2012, Ubisoft)

Rabbids Land is a Wii U game that was announced by Ubisoft at E3 2012. It is the seventh installment of the Raving Rabbids series, not including handheld adaptations or the iPhone application, "Rabbids Go Phone". Still on Earth, the Rabbids find themselves taking over an amusement park. Two Rabbids are attempting to go on one of the rides (not in disguise the first time, in disguise the second time as a dinosaur and in disguise the third time as a tall man), but are thrown out by an unseen person. One of the Rabbids contact the Rabbid spaceship through an iPhone-like device. He tries to call the Rabbid in the spaceship, but the Rabbid in the spaceship is too busy playing with the Wii U Gamepad. Unaware of the consequences, the Rabbid in the spaceship continues to play with the Gamepad, which was actually controlling the whole ship. The Rabbid turns the Gamepad upside down, which causes the ship to land in the amusement park. Gameplay is similar to the Mario Party series. It features a board game-like scenario. The player will have to roll a die with the Wii U Gamepad and depending on the number the die lands, the Rabbid will move to the corresponding square. These squares trigger a different feature and can be easily told apart just by looking at the symbol drawn on the square. Your primary goal is to win the board game by winning trophies, which can be collected by playing and winning minigames. Once a player has collected all trophies needed, you need to get to the center. Once you get to the center, the game is over and the player can win prizes. Although up to four players can take turns in the main game, only two players can play the minigames at a time. Nintendo Life gave Rabbids Land a positive review, giving it a 7 out of 10. Nintendo Life praised its fun mini-games and amazing graphics and said, "if you don't mind the one-to one restriction of the mini-games, there's a lot of fun to be had here." Nintendo Life disliked a few mini-games saying "It's a few you can go without." They noted that the lack of attractions is disappointing.
