I am an adult gamer. I thought I'd try this game because there are alot of adults that enjoy kids' games. (I've played New Super Mario, Kirby, Curious George etc..) There is alot of talking in this game. Daffy Duck tells you about the game, then you play variety of mini-games. Each mini-game has 5 levels. Once you beat 5 levels, then you move on to a different game. There are some waiting in between games as Daffy Duck talks. The first time it's ok because you want to know what he says but then after you've gone through it, you wish you could speed that part up.

The variety of mini-games are cute. Use the stylus to cut Daffy Duck in half until there is no more before the timer runs out, drop bombs on him, type words you see or draw pictures, or get the gem into the cave before Daffy does & more. I'm not sure if the game saves where you left off. The option they give you is "pause, continue, exit". When I turn the game back on, I'm confused as to where I was or what do I do next or how far am I. On one mini-game, it seemed that I beat the game. It said, "Game Over" and I thought to myself, that can't be it!! I looked in the back of the box and saw there is more that I haven't tried yet! Then I went back and continued, and there WAS more.

The game could be better. This game is a bit confusing. The mini-games are cute and some are ok. My son (7) tried this game and liked it.

Classic Looney Toons, Great game, especially for younger players

Who doesn't love Daffy Duck? My kids now own quite a few DS games, and my 4-year-old plays this as much, if not more, than the more expensive games. It's really funny, even if it is in a comically cruel way. Over the course of the game, players get to poke, throw, chase, feed, and chop Daffy with their stylus in a series of games and situations. It has a more interactive feel because of the way Daffy responds directly to the player in response to what they are doing to and around him. Good, Silly fun.

I bought this for my 5 year old for Christmas. He loved erasing and teasing the duck. Also loved the feature where you can record your voice and have the duck replay it in different tones. He didn't put the game down for a couple of days when he finally lost his stylist pen & had to put it away.

I am writing this for my 11 year old Granddaughter. She thought it was a fun game, but if you do not like repetition it is not for you. The Robin Hood game was her least favorite, and Western Dealer was her favorite.

Good fun interactive game with different activities to keep your interest. The duck interacts with you too.

A great concept, decent execution, but too little content.

For anyone who is a fan of classic Looney Tunes, the very concept of this game should be quite enticing. In the original Duck Amuck cartoon, Daffy Duck is terrorized by the animator, who messes with him in all sorts of ways. Duck Amuck for the DS attempts to recreate the cartoon as a game, and does so remarkably well. Many of the lines and gags for the cartoon are reused here, but they feel more endearing than recycled. Such is the nature of nostalgia.

Once you get started with the game, though, you find that it is simply a collection of hit-and-miss minigames, which are accessed by poking, moving, or otherwise irritating Daffy and the background. Some of these minigames are enjoyable, and others are less so, but at the very least you'll be motivated to finish the game in order to see what Daffy does as a result. Ultimately, your goal is to win enough games to infuriate Daffy, bringing the game to an ending similar to the original cartoon.

Other than the fact that some of the minigames are not as enjoyable as others, my main gripe with Duck Amuck is the overall lack of content. The game comes to an end within 6 or 7 games, so that you reach the ending in about a half-hour. Of course, there are considerably more than 7 games available, and after reaching the end, the game promptly brings you back to the beginning to play again. Once all of the games are accounted for, the total package is still underwhelming for the original price.

In the end, I would recommend this game for a true fan of the original cartoon, although only if you can find it for cheap in Amazon Marketplace or a similar venture. This would also be an excellent choice for a young child with a DS, as the games are simple, the humor is genuine wonderful Looney Tunes, and it could pique their interest in the classic cartoons they may not have experienced.

5-year old loves this game!

My daughter loves this game. She generally has a hard time staying focused on anything for more than a couple of minutes, but this game keeps her entertained for usually 20 minutes at a time.
This game seems to run more like an interactive movie, which is great for "new" gamers or younger children.
Overall great game!

Who is the target audience for this?

Duck Amuck requires enough speed and dexterity that it can't be aimed at kids. It's also somewhat confusing as to how any particular game is initiated -- if you annoy Daffy enough, sometimes he'll choose a game for you, but I only managed to open half a dozen games (and yes, I read the instructions). Overall, I would say it's too frustrating for young kids, and too dull for older ones. I guess the only people who would really like it are those who really, REALLY hate Daffy Duck and want to torment him as much as possible, but I for one am not that "despicable".

great game

I love this game..and so do my two 7 yr old boys. This game is great for any Warner Brothers fan. You get to torment Daffy and he yells back at you. It is not an extremely hard game to play, but not so easy that you can beat it the 1st time playing it. And once you collect all the coins, there is a reset button to erase it and you can start again. Great game.Two thumbs up and my son says
