In my opinion, it's a lot more fleshed out, though there are one or two games that try to use the Wiimote's speaker and fail. You'll know when you get there.
I like Rayman a lot more (I have both).

I may be in the minority about Raving Rabbids, but after I completed the single player, I really did not thoroughly enjoy the game afterwards, even with multiplayer. It seemed too many games used the same exact motions with the wiimote and nunchuk (esp. the drumming motion). I dunno, for a lot of the games, the winner basically was who could drum the controllers the fastest (which is sometimes coupled with a button push or action, but it really comes down to who can drum fastest). And there just weren't that many 4-player simultaneous games that were fun enough to keep going back to, and many of the games require the 4 players to take turns, which wouldn't be bad, but so many of them are like this that it really slows down the action IMO. Probably my biggest gripe about the multiplayer is the lack of game modes. There's no random game select, and you have to navigate the menus by choosing the ambiguously titled minigames under like three different categories. I dunno, I just got tired of the multiplayer routine of pick a game, check to make sure it's the one you want to play on the next screen since the games are titled strangely, start game, game ends, you can play the minigame again or exit out to the minigame menu and start the process over again. I just got annoyed by that for some reason.
The first-person plunger shooting games are great though, esp. with 2 people. unfortunately, if you have 3 or 4 people, the only way to do it is have 2 people go through the entire level, and then have the other 2 people go through it. it's definitely not as fun if you're going second on the same exact level you just saw. Also, a few of the games are quite fun, which are the most unique ones- the cow toss, the one where you smack the out of tune rabbid in the chorus, and the different songs you drum the rhythm to. There were a couple other ones that stood out, but I can't remember.
Sorry for the long "rant", its very late/early and I felt like describing why this game was just 'meh' for me. My favorite party games are the mario party series and fuzion frenzy for xbox, just a lot more frantic 4 player action in those than rayman for me.
Edit: wow, can somebody say "excessively long"? i have been writing all day and night, i guess i'm in a bit of a long-winded mode and didn't realize it.
