Those wacky French bastards were so confident in their work that they released this five days after Mario Party DS, a party game with double the games, a story mode with multiple game boards, and Wi-Fi support. I admire their confidence in their almost-shovelware. Really channeling the energy of the Rabbids with this by scoffing at Nintendo's game and going "Well, OUR game has BUNNY MODE".

But to be fair on UbiSoft, you know what Mario Party DS doesn't have? A minigame where you tap the bottom screen to play out the electronic synth notes in Funkytown. I accidentally butchered a classic song with bad timing - complete with audio feedback - and it was the hardest I laughed at a game in months. It's bad, sure, but luckily it's a funny bad.

Also Rayman reveals himself and the existence of alternate dimensions to the entire human world at the end of this and humanity's just okay with it...?
