Game Review: Rabbids Big Bang

I couldn’t really come up with a catchy headline for this game, mainly due to the fact that the title of it is so cute to begin with, but here’s my short review of this incredibly annoying Xbox Live title for your Windows Phone. Rabbids Big Bang, is a $.99 title from Ubisoft that drove me so insane, I almost regretted downloading it, much less paying for it. A combination of irritating rabbits and seemingly impossible physics just made this a bit frustrating to play. Yet after a week, Rabbids Big Bang still had a home on my Nokia Lumia 925.

Game play on Rabbids Big Bang is simple enough, or at least it seems that way. You touch the direction you want your rabbit to hit the other one and pray. Then you have to figure out how to use jetpacks and other ‘helpful’ items to complete the levels as fast as you can.

Once you’ve master the game, Rabbids Big Bang gets nasty. The levels get harder, or even impossible to master quickly and you start the slow decent to madness trying to pass a level – for hours at a time. If there were a prize for most frustrating Windows Phone game ever, this might just get it. Rabbids Big Bang is challenging, maddening and even fun, although it may result in the need for therapy or heavy drinking later.

Even still, the site of the Mission Complete screen brings us all right back down to earth and an epic feeling of accomplishment. Rabbids Big Bang is available in the Windows Store for $.99 and, if you are slightly OCD, should be the next download you get. Just remember to keep your charger near by because you will need it to keep the game going after you can put it down.
