The player must play several minigames which parody popular movies and TV shows such as Star Wars, Godzilla, Prison Break, etc. Rayman is forced to watch the rabbids' programming. Rayman seeks refuge on a farmhouse but the Rabbids are struck by lightning and are sucked into Rayman's TV set, turned into Cartoon Rabbids, they decide to invade each channel.

The motorcycles of the Dyna Glide line are the performance leaders amongst Harley's "big twins." They combine a Sportster front end with their own unique chassis. Dyna Glides are the lightest, best handling, and most versatile of the big twins. Their vibration quelling rubber isolation engine mounts and rigid frame allows Harley to configure them as sport cruisers, touring cruisers, or factory customs. Their relatively light weight makes them a natural choice as the basis for a hot rod bike. Generations of individual customizers have built Dyna Glides of every imaginable type and style. The Wide Glide model (FXDWG in the Harley alphabet) that is the subject of this review is the most stylish of all the Dyna Glide models. It is the fullest Dyna Glide expression of the factory custom concept that Harley-Davidson has been refining since the late 1970's. My friends at Doyle's Harley-Davidson of Eugene, Oregon were kind enough to loan me a new 1999 Wide Glide to test. I was attracted to the Wide Glide because, (A) it is a member of the Dyna family, my favorite big twins and (B) it is the most beautiful of all Dyna models. Anyone thinking there might be a Dyna Glide in his or her future almost has to check out a Wide Glide. The Wide Glide is available in a wide variety of colors, many of which are two-tone (my favorites). It has a chopped rear fender that sweeps up at the back. The front fender is the trim and perfect Sportster type. The Wide Glide has the most stylish fenders in all motorcycling. The headlight is small, chrome, and clean. A low sissy bar and matching passenger backrest complement the attractive pillow-look seat. Just about every part on a Wide Glide that should be chrome, is chrome, far too many to list here. Harley's 2000 catalogue describes the rest of the Wide Glide this way: "Low, stepped seat. A wide, raked fork and 21" laced wheel complete the job." That wide fork, of course, is where the bike gets its name. Other cruisers could be described in similar terms, but on the Wide Glide it all comes together to create a stunningly attractive motorcycle. To appreciate just how good this bike looks, I suggest a trip to your local Harley-Davidson dealer to see one in person, if, of course, they have one in stock-Wide Glides are very popular, and often backordered. Reasonably complete specifications for the Wide Glide can be found on the "Cruiser Motorcycle Comparison Chart" on my Motorcycle Page, so I will just hit the highlights here. The maximum lean angles are 31 degrees right and 32 degrees left. The "Fat Bob" gas tank holds 5.2 gallons. The OEM tires are Dunlop bias ply, a D402 MH90-21on the front, and a D401 130/90B-16 on the rear, mounted on chrome laced wheels. Instrumentation includes a tank-mounted speedometer with odometer and resettable trip meter, fuel gauge, and the usual warning lights.
