The minds that brought you Feel the Magic: XY/XX are at it again with The Rub Rabbits, a game with twice the content, more hilarity, and enough "touching" to make even the most sordid gamer blush.

Love is a hard thing to come by, especially when you're the unnamed guy from The Rub Rabbits. Spotting the girl of his dreams, he sets out to win her heart, but is immediately confronted with other aggressive suitors, electric eels, raging bulls, insane games of paper/rock/scissors, thorny roses, out of control food, killer crabs, and a crazy scientist girl with her sights set on him, just to name a few. Love is, indeed, hard to come by; it's just nice to know that it's such an enjoyable pursuit.
Go Ahead, Touch Yourself
After receiving complaints that Feel the Magic XY/XX was too short, developer Sonic Team decided that the follow-up wouldn't suffer the same fate. In fact, The Rub Rabbits has roughly double the content of the first game, which includes 35 different single-player mini-games, as well as a ton of bonus content. Besides the obligatory extra difficulty level, you' can battle it out with up to four players via Wi-Fi, create a virtual baby with that special someone in your life to measure how compatible you are together, as well as tackle small challenges to see how high of a score you can get. It's all fodder, really, when you compare all of that content to the extremely addictive single-player offerings.
Mini-games in the story mode include a wild assortment of tasks, whether you're poking at stampeding bulls, paddling around on a makeshift raft, or playing a piano as you try to woo your love interest. In an incredibly cool turn of events, you'll also be flipping your DS upside-down and side-ways, as some of the mini-games flip the top and bottom screens around in some innovative ways. Add to these features a hilarious script, toe-tapping music, and the series' trademark visual style, and you've got yourself one of the most unique and enjoyable DS titles so far.
