For those worried about the visual quality of Rayman, given the tame system specs of the Wii in comparison to the 360 and PS3, you shouldn’t. The game looks intriguing enough with a visually appealing art-style that transcends the boundary between gameplay and cinematics. While the final version of the game may see better visuals on the Xbox 360 and PC versions, the Wii version still maintains a quality look about it. Unless you’re a gamer who spots out where vertices create slight blocks in rounded polygons, Rayman Raving Rabbids, so far, looks fine across the board.

Handheld owners will also get a take of the raving rabbid action. Ubisoft has yet to say whether the DS and PSP will get special versions to boot, or if the game will generically stay with the minor adjustments for portability purposes. For now, Ubisoft seems extremely tight-lipped about spilling info on this ambitious title for the next-gen and handheld systems. From the looks of things, though, Rayman Raving Rabbids is coming along quite nicely. Fans of the series, and quite possibly newcomers alike, can look for this title to hit store shelves for the Nintendo Wii at launch and most likely all other systems shortly after.
