Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing fans know the drill here, the question is "how does this me too racer stack up"? The answer: Quite well. It's gorgeous to look at, very fast, has great control, is WELL animated, has great attacks (or 'gags, as they're called here), and well designed tracks. All this makes it a blast to play...I whole heartedly recommend it!

This is a great game; fun, and somewhat challenging. The only bad part is that it's easy. I beat it in 2 days. Of course it was summer so I had much more time to play it, but still, it's a great game that you should buy.

Unforgiving and mediocre

Looney Tunes Space Race had real potential and after reading many reviews from different sites I bought it. To my suprise I found it to be unforgiving and dull. The tracks need some more variety, the characterss are small in number and there are too many items to use at any point in time. This may not be a bad thing but the items are reharshed and dull. How many things can you drop on someone?

The graphics is the games only high point! The tracks have no barriers so you can FALL OFF ALMOST EVERY ONE. This makes for a steep learning curve and may be a turn-off for some. Back to the items, because there are so many to be used by you and the computer you never really enjoy the racing element. If you win a race its because of pure luck (i.e getting a useful item at the right time) and not due to skill...BIG turn off.

With unforgiving AI opponents, lame items, gameplay based on luck and uninspired tracks you could make this a rental or a borrow from a friend...just don't but!!

Mario Kart annyone?

I suppose it sounds nice, your a cartoon driving a space pod using gags to disturb the other racers. Well it really isn't. You may get to use a gag here and there but it seems you'll be the recipient of over 10 a race. You may be gaged once, then immediately have it happen again and then again and the whole time you won't move. The game play is very slow, meaning that you don't move very fast at all. You have an extreme disadvantage the whole game when you only receive the same gag over and over and the computer receives the gags that actually are fun to use. So do yourselves all a huge favor and keep your [money]... . You won't be disappointed if you do not buy this game.

Very entertaining game

This game looks absolutely beautiful. Its just like watching a cartoon on TV. It has well designed courses and a lot of things to unlock. This game comes pretty close to being the perfect racer, but then falls short in one important area. That is the computer AI. This game has undoubtly the cheapest AI in any game I have seen. No matter how well or how bad you race all the computer characters will keep up with you. You cannot get too far ahead and you cannot fall too much behind. Winning a race always comes down to using a Turbo boost at the home stretch. This facts makes racing sometimes frustrating. For example, there is a "gag-free" zone where there are no powerups whatsoever. I raced this track almost perfectly, without running into anything, keeping my top speed, and racing on the inside track. No matter how well I do, I cannot win on this track simply because I don't have any Turbo boosts.

Aside from that. I found this to be a very entertaining game, and a worthy purchase at this bargain price. I really would give it a 3.5 stars, but since I can't I'm rounding up to 4. Give it a shot.

Looney Toons get a little wacky!

This game is so much fun! You race on different tracks and just race on your Looney Toon car and have fun. You get to pick a player from Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Porky Pig, Marvin the Martian, Wille E. Coyote, and Elmer Fudd! This game can be up to four players at once racing each other on tons of different tracks! This game has little boxes that have "FAKE" weapons to get your opponent to slow down. For EXAMPLE: Falling Elephants, laser guns, instant storms, bombs, and many other wacky things. This game might have a little bit of mild violence, but your kids will love it! There is no blood and guts or anything. I think everyone who has a segadreamcast should have this game!

Another mediocre DC cart game . . .

On paper, this game looks outstanding: a good franchise, the "new" (at the time) cel shading techniqe to make the Looney
Tunes look even more in their element, and the willingness to take the LT cartoon cliches to the extreme, creating a living, breathing cartoon race with you in it.

Unfortunately, it falls a little flat in a number of areas. Control is consistent and acceptable, but the hover-scooters just don't do it for me. The tracks play like an extremely easy version of Wipeout. What was wrong with using karts? It's the control, which honestly might be a little TOO precise and TOO fast for its own good that makes the game seem monotonous. The easy tracks are far too easy and the rollercoaster tracks are all fairly similar in how they are played. For those of you who have played Crash Team Racing, you'll miss the variety, the jumps and mud bogs, the tight courses, the ones on ice, and the speedy ones with lots of obstacles.

Second, there are a TON of power ups, and the computer, as in most kart games, cheats like crazy. The power ups always provide the randomness to the gameplay, but in this particular game, the near contstant beatings you'll take make the game unbearable at times, constantly stopping and starting again. That said, winning is a fairly simple matter. Get a bunch of rocket boosts, sit back in the middle or back of the pack where you're somewhat protected, and in the final stretch, blast past the competition. Works most of the time, and is a perfect example of just how talent and skill are devalued by this game.

All this would be at least a little tolerable if the game held up to its promise of being an immersive Looney Tunes environment. True, the tracks will all look familiar to those of you who have watched enough Bugs Bunny cartoons (especially from the Chuck Jones era) to memorize the lines by heart, and true, the Acme powerups (straight out of a Roadrunner cartoon) are as cool and well done as any you'll see in any kart game, and yes, the characters are well animated, BUT, the game loses it's luster when, halfway through the first race, you've already heard all five of Daffy Duck's catch phrases. Woulda been nice if they would have given the characters, I dunno, maybe another twenty or so things to say AND if they wouldn't talk so much that you'll get tired of them and want to turn the sound down. Of course, their talking is usually in direct response to either using a power-up on someone else, or getting blown up yourself, which, as I mentioned earlier, happens about every ten seconds in some races.

I picked this came up ... used, and that's an acceptable price for it. Unfortunately, the DC will die without the cart game that it should have had. It's obvious a lot of work went into this one, and it's a shame that usability testing didn't make this game everything that it could have been.

Very Good

After first looking at the game i though that it would be a bit naff, but upon playing it i couldnt be more wrong. You can choose from four different characters which you then procced to race in their appropriate vehicle. The are obstacles that youn have to avoid that will hinder the race and you have to watch out for attacks from other racers too. The are 40 different events to take place in and there is a 4 player mode which is the best thing about this game. (I love beating my friends)

Looney Tunes!

If you like Looney Tunes, this game will not disappoint. There have been so many attempts at character racing games, but very fun have been a pleasure to play. The game has great characters and great graphics. The controls are easy to learn, but the characters are all fairly even. You often find yourself neck-and-neck with everyone else for the whole race. The game becomes all about picking up "gags" and using them against your opponent. The "gags" are humorous and heighten the experience. Black holes, falling anvils, and my personal nemesis the extendo glove.

Great multiplayer fun!
