Apple Games has released two new feature articles covering the recently released Rayman Raving Rabbids and Asphalt 4: Elite Racing. Both articles include an overview of the features included in the games and a list of tips and tricks, while the Rayman article also offers a history of the franchise.

Raving Rabbids follows the plight of Rayman who has been enslaved by bunnies and must fight in gladiator style events to win his freedom. In Asphalt 4 players enter the world of high speed racing in a variety of locations around the world.

From the Rayman Raving Rabbids article:

Complete all four mini-games each day to unlock a song from a dancing game — such as Dick Dale’s surf guitar classic “Misirlou” — or a new costume that transforms Rayman’s look into anything from disco-themed to granny-inspired. While in his cell, Rayman can also sit on the toilet and think about the events from any previous day, so he can retry the ones he failed. Remember, the more success our hero enjoys, the more sympathy he’ll gain from the Rabbids who fill the coliseum.

When you’re done, enter Score mode to replay many of the mini-games solo or with up to three other players, or access Family mode to play cooperatively with someone else. In the former, you’ll aspire toward the grand total of 183,000 points, with special multi-mini-game challenges becoming unlocked once you reach certain scoring thresholds. In the latter, you’ll share the controls with a co-player; for example, one aims and the other shoots during the Bunny Hunt mini-games.

During races, scoop up nitro boosts to refill the meter, which also replenishes every time you make a sharp turn or commit an illegal act, such as smashing a civilian car. Don’t forget to drive through all those dollar signs you also see in the road and scoop up cash bonuses. In addition, you’ll earn extra money if a helicopter appears overhead, because that means your antics have attracted the attention of the local news media. Unfortunately, the police won’t be far behind, so pick up the badges that occasionally appear to clear your “WANTED” meter.

Complete races to access higher levels and unlock new cities. You’ll also get the chance to woo girlfriends who increase your top speed, fill your nitro meter at the start of each race, and more. With them at your side, you’ll become a racing VIP and finish your tour of the world.
