    While the gameplay was addicting and fun, the graphics and sound are where the games problems come in.

    A simplistic arcade game that features wonderful cartoon graphics.

    A funny story and classic Looney tunes characters give Taz: Wanted a zany edge. [Dec 2002, p.218]

    What is slightly worrying though is that despite being aimed directly at kids Taz Wanted is one frustrating game, thanks to the fact that Taz himself controls like a blind three-legged badger… especially when he’s doing his trademark spin.

    It's a game best suited for kids, who will enjoy spinning around uncontrollably smashing things and solving the rudimentary puzzles.

    Like many old games, the gameplay is mediocre and fun and the graphics are nice .... This game is one of the best games in the Looney Tunes series.

    I can't deny my feelings for this game growing up. As the first console game I've ever owned as a child and beat, the amount of I can't deny my feelings for this game growing up. As the first console game I've ever owned as a child and beat, the amount of nostalgia that I get while playing this game in nearly infinite. However, now older, I can realize the flaws of the game that I never cared about years ago: The difficulty is minimal, the sound editing is extremely poor, the cel-shaded art style never hits its stride, and the game's occasional moments of diversity with driving mini-games are horribly controlled. Then again, the camera is pitch-perfect, the soundtrack is great, and the controls are inventive and fun. Taz: Wanted is simply a mixed bag, one that some will love and some will hate. Still, I'd only recommend this to die-hard Taz fans and children.… Expand
