Play Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party Online

Summary

Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party on the DS is the handheld continuation of Ubisoft’s chaotic Rabbids saga, packing the entire series’ TV‑takeover premise into a pocket‑sized party game. The Rabbids hijack Rayman’s broadcast network for a week, and each day brings a fresh batch of wacky minigames that range from yak‑racing down a hill to a Jackass‑style skyscraper dive, a plunger‑shooting gallery, and even a Godzilla‑inspired fire‑breathing rampage. The DS version swaps in a few exclusive titles, most notably a prison‑search micro‑challenge that makes full use of the touch screen. Up to eight friends can compete in turn‑based mode, while random "ads" pop up as ultra‑short microgames that reward quick reflexes. Critics were split – scores hovered around the low‑to‑mid 70s on Metacritic, with the Wii version praised for sound and family appeal, but the DS port only earned a modest 4/10 from IGN. Still, the title moved 1.5 million copies worldwide, cementing its place as the final chapter of the original Rabbids trilogy.

Storyline

Following the events of the second game, the Rabbids invade Earth and begin chasing Rayman after his disguise is discovered. While fleeing, a lightning strike sends the Rabbids down a TV antenna and traps them inside the television. When Rayman turns the TV on, the Rabbids merge with it, become cartoon versions of themselves, and appear on their own channels – Trash TV, Groove On, Shake It, The Raving Channel, Cult Movies, X‑TRM Sports, Macho TV, and the No Brainer Channel on the final level.

During the week Rayman tries everything to stop them: on Monday he pulls the plug, on Tuesday he punches the screen and slaps an ice pack, causing cracks to spread; on Wednesday he tapes the TV and throws it out, only for moles to return it the next day; on Friday he tosses it into the toilet, where the Rabbids use a hook to repeatedly flush it; the following day he attempts to drown them in the sink, but the house shakes as they scream.

Finally, on Sunday he changes the channel to watch a football game, but the Rabbids keep interrupting. Frustrated, he smashes the TV with his shoe, freeing the Rabbids and restoring them to their original forms. He flees the house as the Rabbids give chase, while one stubborn Rabbid stays behind to occupy the abandoned home.
