I think that might be a record for shortest exclusiveness.
Post by: KDR_11k on December 06, 2006, 01:57:06 AM
Shortest exclusive indeed, the PS2 will have it exclusive for about 2-3 days and then the Wii is released.

Are you sure the game is released?
EDIT: I just did my research on Gamestop and its true.
Here is a rundown of the release dates on the other consoles according to GS:
XBOX 360: March 2007
Nintendo DS: March 2007
GBA: Available now
PC: December 2006
PS2: Available now
You can tell that the Wii was the most advertised of them all. Like I said, we all knew that it would be coming to all consoles at one point, but not this soon, much less they come out right after the Wii version.
I am wondering how the games work in the multi console versions. From what I heard, some of the games are too complex to be played on a normal controller.

Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, GameCube, Xbox, PS2, GBA, DS, PSP, as well as the PC!
Three current-gen consoles, three last-gen consoles, three handhelds, and the PC...isn't that pretty much everything available right now, except for maybe the Mac? o_0

As near as I can tell, the other games are going to be simple button mashers. The novelty of these minigames is just nonexistent without the Wiimote.

I wonder why the 360 and PS3 versions are so late compared to PS2? Is it that much extra work to finish them, or did Nintendo and Ubi make a deal?

It's like Madden 07. Is there a Mobile Phone version of this game?

The PC version is less than half the price of the Wii version it seems (28€ vs. 60€ I think). Might be worth trying...

But, back on topic, has anyone actually played the PS2 version of this game? I am curious how it turned out and how they attempted to convert these very specificly designed minigames to fit the PS2 controller...and keep it fun.

.I too am curious if someone had played the PS2 version.

Sorry to bump this thread, but me and my nephew were able to try out the PS2 version of RRR.
Here are some impressions:
Controls: First of all, any controls that require you to move either the nun chuck or the Wiimote (and sometimes both) have been replaced by movement of the PS2 Joysticks. For example, in the "Bunnies don't close doors" game, with the left stick you move the hand while with the right stick you shut them. Other games, like the "Bunnies don't jump" and "Bunnies don't have good memories" ones are button presses.
I haven't played the Wii version, but I can tell that the Wii version has MUCH better aiming controls than the PS2 one. The aiming is very slow and boring, it makes the gameplay in the shooting stages move at a snail's pace, plus without the precision of the pointer it makes it harder to aim and shoot.
Some games, however, are easier to do with the PS2 controller than with the Wiimote, since I heard the Wii version uses some crazy combinations, like shaking the nun chuck to make juice while aiming with the Wiimote on the juice one. It is MUCH more doable here than in the Wii version.
But outside game controls RRR PS2 is identical to the Wii version. Three games per day, plus a dancing mini game and the boss stage, complete them all to earn the Rabbit's respect, get more outfits etc. etc. etc.
Graphics: The game looks identical to the Wii version, with the exception of slow down in many cases as well as low res textures on many an occasion.
Sound: It's all the same, screams and all...
Overall: The PS2 version is a good alternative to the Wii version if you either don't have a Wii but want to play the game. It shows you the basics of gameplay that is available on the Wii. The only thing that you will lose is, of course, the controls, which will either make or break the game for you. On one hand, some of the games are easier, on the other the Wii version is better.
But outside that, the game isn't drastically different that there's no clear winner or loser here. It all depends if what you want is the game itself or the controls the game offers.

Matt; RRR for the GBA and DS are going to be the true platformer games. So if you want the platformers, those are the way to go.
