Why not challenge some of your favorite Warner Bros. characters to a friendly kart race? Looney Tunes Racing features eight characters from the popular cartoon series--each with his or her own distinct vehicle. You can take Bugs for a spin in his carrot-juice-fueled carrot kart, or try Daffy and his duck-bill-shaped roadster. The 10 amusing tracks are designed around backgrounds and art elements of some of the series' most famous cartoons.
Kart racing games come in many guises, so finding one that is both addictive and a joy to play and watch, such as Looney Tunes Racing, is a nice surprise. You'll take on the role of your favorite character and race against other characters or a friend on the 10 tracks, finding hilarious surprises waiting around every bend.
There are eight of the best-loved Looney Tunes characters from which to choose. Your chosen racer must then race against the other seven characters, and winning each race in turn will earn you points to unlock the bonus track. All the tracks have themes from the featured characters' regular cartoons, and will be familiar to young and old alike, making it a joy for all ages. Strategically placed throughout are special power-ups and weapons in the form of Acme bombs and custard pies--you'll use them to slow down your opponents--as well as race-winning turbo ramps that give you that much-needed boost.
The animated tracks are simply superb, and the characters are very well animated, with all the characteristics you've come to expect. Kids who enjoy Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Marvin the Martian will love to play this--as will their parents, when the kids aren't watching. Good, clean fun suitable for ages five and over. --Robert Hyde -- Amazon.co.uk
