Sorry I sound like a commerical, but the videos got me very excited.

Yeah, I agree it looks really good and I think this is the first time I've seen it done in a game myself. Usually video game FMV sequences feature (bad) actors in cheesy cardboard sets, not CGI characters against real world backdrops.

Obviously the toons are 2D and stand out more than the Rabbids do, but the idea is there.
About Rayman, it looks a bit sluggish, but I might check it out.

Of course, doubters must keep in mind that this is a collection of games, and these levels are only going to be a small percentage of them. So if they don't do it for you, you still have that Guitar Hero spoof mini-game and many others.

The onrail levels of the first Raving Rabbids were great, but the levels were really uninspired. I felt like there was sorta a story there, but no enough to really feel an urgency to the fight.
With the Rabbids in the real world there is a true story to each of the levels...being told as you fight. The basic idea is to beat back the invasion, but the real story is what the Rabbids are doing in each place while you fight. It works much better than you would original think.
You would think that with real world video you wouldn't be able to interact enough with the environment and that could cause a problem, but the plunger weapon is not going to blow up buildings or cars so it really isn't as big of a deal, as say in earlier gun shooters blasting FMV environments should interact with you.
My biggest concern now is the speed of the levels and the speed of aiming. At least in the IGN videos moving your target around was WAAAY to slow, and the Rabbid interactions and attacks were too slow. These gun shooters are intense because of the speed you must react to achieve shot or to prevent being shot yourself.
Now I understand there is going to be a 4 player mode, so slowing targeting down will balance out that gameplay, but really, why not speed it up some, and on 4 Player mode throw out more enemies and stronger enemies. At the speed it is at in those videos it really isn't playable in my opinion, and I hope that is changed before release.
To end on a brighter note, I am pleased that they cleaned up the HUD with the aiming telling you how many plungers you still have. It makes it much more pleasing to the eye.

ShyGuy was right, FF stands for FireFox.
I click on the hi-rez video and a little window pops up that says "for insiders only" but another little window pops up and FF is downloading the video in the background. Its nice cause I get to skip the commercial advertisement and I can save the video if I want.

Man I wish they'd just drop the Rayman name from this. Raving Rabbids can stand on its own now.
