Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal - First Thoughts

Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal has a storyline we've seen many times in the cartoon. The Evil Mad Scientist is fed up with the Looney Tunes and plans to get rid of them once and for all. Using his homemade time machine and giant ACME eraser, he will travel through time and erase the Looney Tunes and their ancestors from existance. Little does he know though that the Looney Tunes have built their own time machine, and will fight the Evil Mad Scientist to save themselves from disappearing! In this mayhem-packed action-adventure game, players can take on the role of seven different Looney Tunes characters, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tazmanian Devil, Foghorn Leghorn, Marvin the Martian, Gossamer and a special secret character, all rendered in high-definition, next-generation graphics. Looney Toons : Acme Arsenal serves up combat, puzzles, and vehicle-based action. Players also command an arsenal of ACME melee and projectile weapons in outrageous battles and travel to various locations such as Camelot, Ancient Egypt, Mars, and the Wild West.


What We Got To Play
We got to play the tutorial and one level with Bugs Bunny and Marvin Martian (as the game can be played in Co-op mode). The tutorial had us learning simple attacks, jumps and how to use weapons. Attacking is simply button bashing, jumping is hard but forgivable and most of the weapons can only be used when within a certain range of an enemy... one that you could just attack with!

The level started off in a castle where Bugs Bunny is lost and Marvin is flown in by the Tazmanian Devil and you simply just need to make it into the castle on a "simple" route. One thing I noticed during the game, is that at points it is too dark and the camera angles are sometimes very poor. This is purely a kid-based game which older people might only play for the achievements.
