Bunny girls sell Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 in Japan

Humor has played a big role in Ubisoft's marketing of Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, but sex? Erm ... not so much. It's a different story in Japan, however. There, models dressed in midriff-baring outfits and bunny ears are recruited to sell the game to the public in shopping malls.Tottering on their high heels, they watch over a (admittedly very impressive) kiosk dedicated to Ubi's game, complete with Wii demo units, and tons of awesome Rabbids merchandise, including postcards, hats, and some too-cool-for-words Rabbids tote bags that WE MUST OWN.
Plunge(r) past the break for more snaps.

Frankly, form review, I am actually disappointed in Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. The one showed great potential, and I really thought the second version would defiantly worth purchasing. My money was ready. I just can't understand how Ubisoft screw it up.
How about XIII 2 Ubisoft... you owe me an ending to the story :)

You could just read the graphic novel. From what I've read, the video game is a pretty close adaptation of the first few volumes of the comics.

Also, if Ubisoft is going to give us a sequel to ANY game that underperformed, it damn well better be Beyond Good & Evil.

Hear, hear.

O.O And our malls don't have that because...?
Seriously, I would be looking at the girl before I'd care about the game...

I totally want that tote bag.

Me too, it's adorable!

I really, really want the tote bag. Rayman RR 2 is not as good as the first one; some of the minigames are pretty dumb. Sigh. I'd trade my copy of the game for the tote bag!

i second Fullmetal Salchemist's call about xiii 2. there was real potential for a good sequal to that game. too bad no one played that game. i loved that game.

It pains me to say this, but that is the fugliest bunny girl I've EVER seen in my life.

Okay... I just got my wii a few days ago and decided, after watching many of those funny little movies and thinking it would be a blast, went out and got Raving Rabbids 2.
I have to say how incredibly bummed out I was to return home, beat a majority of the mini-games, and be barely entertained. I have to say I did ignore the less-than-impressive reviews because I had been conned by the cheesy yet entertaining ads.
The 1-player mode holds nothing to keep you entertained except a few entertaining cutscenes but the games themselves are short, easy, and repetatively unamusing. The only thing I did find even a small bit entertaining was the Shooting mode. It was humerous and pretty fun for the most part.
So at this point I've done pretty much a mini review of the game for no reason but the fact I am pissed that I spent 50 dollars on a game I will most likely trade in for less than 1/3 of that and feel completely let down.
For-shame Ubisoft.
