In some ways, Rabbids: Party of Legends outperforms Mario Party, but it suffers from a few major flaws that prevent it from having reached its maximum potential.
Overview
Rayman Raving Rabbids, a board game spin-off of Bungie’s Rayman platforming series had far more in prevalent to Mario Party than any Rayman game, was one of the most well-received new games for the Nintendo Wii. Ubisoft has since released various sequels to Raving Rabbids and crossed the manic bunny animals over with other series, such as the Mario + Rabbids strategy games, after the titular Rabbids proved common enough just to lead role in their own franchise. Rabbids: Party of Legends is the most recent title to feature the Rabbids.
Game Compilation
A mini-game compilation is defined by the quality of its mini-games, and thankfully, all of the Rabbids: Party of Legends mini-games are enjoyable. The mini-games themselves should be familiar to anyone who has played a game like this, and while they aren’t particularly inventive, they work well are more viable than just what Mario Party has to offer.
This is primarily due to the fact that the micro in Rabbids: Party of Legends last longer than those in its competitors. Both Rabbids: Party of Legendary figures and Mario Party, for example, have a mini-game in which the primary objective is to blow gamers off a platform. In Mario Party, being knocked off effectively ends the mini-game for that player, but Rabbids: Party of Legendary figures gives everybody multiple chances.
Main Advantage of Game
Another significant advantage Rabbids: Party of Legends has over Mario Party is that it is free of cheap mechanics that give the team an unfair advantage. It is always the individual in the last place who is given the chance to get books for free or steal from others. Even then, they won’t be able to reclaim first place if they don’t have skill in the mini-games. In Rabbids: Party of Legends, the person who is the best at the mini-games will win, which is a refreshing change of pace from Mario Party’s unpredictability.
Problems in Game
The main problem with Rabbids: Party of Legends is the lack of online multiplayer, which seems strange in this day and age. Rabbids: Party of Legends is still a good option for anyone looking for a local multiplayer party game, but those looking for online connectivity should look elsewhere.
The last major issue with Rabbids: Party of Legends is a lack of content. While the available mini-games are all enjoyable to play with friends, there are simply not quite enough of them just to justify the $40 price tag. It works well as a game for occasional get-togethers, but it doesn’t provide much else. Accomplishments and league titles don’t provide a compelling motivation to live to play.
Final Words
Rabbids: Party of Legends has enjoyable mini-games and is a truly enjoyable party game experience that outperforms recent Mario Party games in the some aspects. However, there are some significant flaws that prevent the game from reaching its full potential, such as an unneeded progression system, the lack of online multiplayer, and a general lack of content in comparison to other party games on the market. It’s still entertaining while it lasts, and don’t anticipate it to last long.
