Raving Rabbids: Alive & Kicking

12 cert, Ubisoft, Xbox 360 (Kinect)**

There are some games that are perfect for motion control and there are others that, for a various reasons, aren't. Maybe it's that the controls become awkward. Maybe it's just that the game itself doesn't seem worth the physical effort it takes to play. At times, Raving Rabbids: Alive & Kickingveers dangerously towards the latter for me. There are about 40 of the mini-games to choose from, some better than others. And the augmented reality is a nice touch – it feels as if the Rabbids are invading your home. The first Kinect-enabled adventure for the hyperactive animals all feels a bit crazy. It's a collection of mini-games, and up to four people can play, so it's perfect for parties, or keeping younger kids occupied. Alone, it gets a little old. One for party players.
