The rewards, which include 3D status and customization options for your Rabbid, aren't that enticing. You always have the choice to go back and replay levels in Time Attack Mode I rarely wanted to go back. Mechanics rarely evolve past what you see in the first area, which gets boring at the mid-way point. Environments may change, but the challenges rarely do. Rabbids 3D's biggest issue is the lack of variety. Really, though, you're just pushing through levels, which is exactly the problem. Your ultimate goal is to collect a specific number of ducks, which will unlock bonus levels and other rewards. You'll come across a few other Rabbids (who you'll need to bop), though most of the time you're just jumping from platform to platform in search of rubber ducks. You go from point A to point B with little variation in design.
Gameplay is as straightforward as it can get. On one hand, I enjoy the throwback to traditional platformers, which are in short supply. I'm of two opinions in regards to Rabbids 3D. Unlike the Wii version, Rabbids 3D keeps the action confined solely to side-scrolling action where you guide your Rabbid through levels in search of more rubber ducks. The sounds are good for what they are, but they're nothing out of the ordinary.Īfter the Rabbids attack a time traveler for his rubber duck, Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time 3D drops players into four time periods full of platforming adventure. The music is fun, but incredibly repetitive. The only really annoying 3D effect accompanies death the Rabbid zooms out at the screen and shatters it. There are moments when platforms become lost, though these instances are few. The effect is used primarily for added depth, which works with the level scrolling and other touches. Rabbids 3D is one of the better 3D games in the 3DS's launch window. Earlier levels show a little more creativity, but then again, that could be due to the 3D dinosaurs.
I completely understand that the decision was made in favor of gameplay, but I also wonder if UbiSoft could have scaled images up a little more.Įnvironments are varied and fun.
You're guaranteed a few over-the-top animations and that iconic Rabbid scream, though characters are small and a bit out of focus. The Rabbids' big draw is their personalities, which don't quite shine the way they should. Visuals are rather simple and feature few details, which actually hurts the game. Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time 3D looks good, but won't convince you to buy a 3DS. Nothing good ever comes from time travel, which is exactly why someone at UbiSoft decided to give the already mentally unstable Rabbids their own washing-time machine. Marty almost split his parents up, John Connor missed out on his childhood and Fry managed to become his own grandfather. If years of sci-fi have taught me anything, it is that time travel never ends well.
