| I was a little skeptical about "Looney Tunes Racing" before I played it because most of the other Looney Tunes video games I've ever played weren't all that great. But "Looney Tunes Racing" is a different story. A lot of the well known Looney Tunes from Bugs Bunny to Wile E. Coyote are here in this fun 1 or 2-player racing game. In the 1-player mode, you can win 3 different trophies by coming in 1st place overall in that world by racing against other Looney Tunes racers. The more races you win, the more secret tracks and secret characters that will be unlocked and will become playable. In 2-player mode you can choose any track to race against someone else in and then choose how many laps you have to go around the track, whether it's 3, 5, or 7. There's also a 2-player Battle Mode in case you want to defeat your opponent in another way other than by winning a race. "Looney Tunes Racing" is a great racing game in just about every way. It has good graphics that are all based on the Looney Tunes cartoons such as woods, caves, etc. All the Looney Tunes racers and their cars are also based on the classic cartoons. For example, Bugs Bunny rides in a car that's in a carrot design, and when you pass Daffy Duck, he'll say "You're Despicable." The control is great and it's easy to master, the sounds and music are all good for the game, and best of all, it's a lot of fun. The only slight downfall is that the game can be too easy in some parts, but the challenge gradually gets better as you progress through the game's races. In case your opponents are just too fast for you to catch up to them, there are zippers in every level for an extra burst of speed and best of all, many looney weapons such as an anvil that will fall on your opponent's head, invincibility, and a pie. There are also many arches you can ride through that will trigger a cool brain-bashing effect that will take place on the spaces marked "X." These effects can range from crushing platforms and hammers, to lasers and even a huge animal that will run out and just stand in the middle of the road for a few seconds. Whether you want to challenge the computer opponent and concentrate on trying to get all the hidden tracks and secret characters or if you like playing against your friends, brother, sister, etc. in racing or battle, "Looney Tunes Racing" is a great game. I recommend anybody who likes racing games to give "Looney Tunes Racing" a try. It's not likely to disappoint many people. |
