Looney Tunes B-Ball
Review by SCCAN85
"A very LOONEY Basketball game"
Looney Toons B-ball is a fun basketball game that is directed towards younger players,but a lot of people play this game.I don't own this game,but I rented it twice and thankfully someone took FF2,because I would've rented that instead of this.Looney Toons as you can see are in this game,but it isn't the entire crew.Only the popular ones such as Bugs,Daffy,etc.Everything was good about the game but sometimes the games would get TOO crazy.
CONTROLS:(7/10)The controls were kind of hard.It was somewhat similar to NBA Jam with the Turbo,but some of the items to be used was out of the way and is just a bother to use,because this game is quick and you don't have much time to be scrolling through items.The controls can easily get confusing.Also the Turbo would run out quickly.
MUSIC:(9/10)The music was good.In fact it was really good.
The music in the beginning is pretty cool and to this day I know the tune to it.There is different music for each level and that's pretty cool.All the music is very catchy.This is probably the highest factor of this game and it's rare for sports games to have music.
GRAPHICS:(7/10)The characters didn't look really good,but they looked pretty good.Almost all the courts look the exact same,but the backgrounds in each stage is different. The graphics were very colorful like the cartoons.
GAMEPLAY:(8/10)A good game that needs a little bit of tuning up to achieve perfection.The items thing is really annoying and this is one thing to get changed.I also didn't really like the fact that the turbo meter would drain so easily and the computers doesn't.That's what it feels like.
The games are kind of long and are exactly like NBA Jam games.It's two on two competition for 1 player mode or you could play with a friend.In 1 player mode you go around the country and play a team of two until all is beaten.Also do not trust the stats because they say someone has full three point shots and he doesn't even make a lot of them.It's messed up.Items are used to either hit your opponent,stop time,or get three points easily.It's hard to use them and it's hard to get them.The game is fun,but as I said isn't near perfection.
SOUND:(9/10)Another high factor of the game.There are a lot of cartoonish sounds such as boing,blop,kaboom,etc.The sounds are really clear and exact.This might of added affect to the younger players taste for the game.Older people too not to mention any names. :)
REPLAY:(6/10)Unless your with a friend and you both play against each other.Thisis probably the only time you play it again,but it seems to be fun with another person.If you really like sports games on the SNES than you'll probably like to play this game over and over.
OVERALL:(8/10)I would atleast recommend a rent,but if you get too close to Looney Toons B-ball than I guess you should buy it.It can get fun at times and boring at times.
