We hate to ruin a (not-so-good) ending, but the easiest way to kick off this review is with the text from the final achievement from Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal, which you receive by completing the game: “You’ll probably hate yourself in the morning.” Well, that about sums it up. Thanks for doing our job, dev team.

So maybe that’s not all, folks. Looney Tunes: AA is ostensibly an action-platformer featuring a wide variety of playable animated legends and levels inspired by locations from the cartoons. Seems simple enough, but both the action and platforming parts of the equation are poorly developed imitations of numerous other much better games.
