4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Looney Toons, Great game, especially for younger players March 7, 2008

By Angie

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Who doesn't love Daffy Duck? My kids now own quite a few DS games, and my 4-year-old plays this as much, if not more, than the more expensive games. It's really funny, even if it is in a comically cruel way. Over the course of the game, players get to poke, throw, chase, feed, and chop Daffy with their stylus in a series of games and situations. It has a more interactive feel because of the way Daffy responds directly to the player in response to what they are doing to and around him. Good, Silly fun.

3.0 out of 5 stars A great concept, decent execution, but too little content. May 30, 2008

By Jacob Leh

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

For anyone who is a fan of classic Looney Tunes, the very concept of this game should be quite enticing. In the original Duck Amuck cartoon, Daffy Duck is terrorized by the animator, who messes with him in all sorts of ways. Duck Amuck for the DS attempts to recreate the cartoon as a game, and does so remarkably well. Many of the lines and gags for the cartoon are reused here, but they feel more endearing than recycled. Such is the nature of nostalgia.

Once you get started with the game, though, you find that it is simply a collection of hit-and-miss minigames, which are accessed by poking, moving, or otherwise irritating Daffy and the background. Some of these minigames are enjoyable, and others are less so, but at the very least you'll be motivated to finish the game in order to see what Daffy does as a result. Ultimately, your goal is to win enough games to infuriate Daffy, bringing the game to an ending similar to the original cartoon.

Other than the fact that some of the minigames are not as enjoyable as others, my main gripe with Duck Amuck is the overall lack of content. The game comes to an end within 6 or 7 games, so that you reach the ending in about a half-hour. Of course, there are considerably more than 7 games available, and after reaching the end, the game promptly brings you back to the beginning to play again. Once all of the games are accounted for, the total package is still underwhelming for the original price.

In the end, I would recommend this game for a true fan of the original cartoon, although only if you can find it for cheap in Amazon Marketplace or a similar venture. This would also be an excellent choice for a young child with a DS, as the games are simple, the humor is genuine wonderful Looney Tunes, and it could pique their interest in the classic cartoons they may not have experienced.

I bought this for my 5 year old for Christmas. He loved erasing and teasing the duck. Also loved the feature where you can record your voice and have the duck replay it in different tones. He didn't put the game down for a couple of days when he finally lost his stylist pen & had to put it away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome game! December 30, 2009

By Melissa Bruce

I have 2 kids - 11 year-old daughter and 8 year-old son. Both of them LOVE this game. In my daughter's words it's "amazing!" The overall object is to "harass Daffy." One time I closed the DS (trying to get my son's attention) and we were both surprised to hear, "HEY!! Open up!!" coming from the DS. I opened it back up and Daffy said, "that's better!" LOL!! Well worth the money!

My daughter loves this game. She generally has a hard time staying focused on anything for more than a couple of minutes, but this game keeps her entertained for usually 20 minutes at a time.
This game seems to run more like an interactive movie, which is great for "new" gamers or younger children.
Overall great game!

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT INTERACTIVE GAME FOR KIDS January 27, 2010

By Margaux Paschke VINE VOICE

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I would recommend this game for younger kids since half of it is Daffy Duck skits and half mini games. The best part of this game is the level of interaction between you, the player, and Daffy Duck. The games are fairly simple and easy for young kids to play once you figure out how to play them. It usually involves committing some act of violence against Daffy Duck but no worse then the cartoons.

There are a limited number of mini games available but it keeps my kid's interest so I cannot complain. Overall, a great way to keep my kids entertained. I just wish there were more games provided to prevent it from being sidelined too early.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fun but not that impressive August 5, 2009

Okay, I admit, I got this game because Daffy Duck is my favorite Looney Tune. Call me crazy, but this game can be fun and challenging, but also very aggravating in some parts. I like the touch screen feature, but unfortunately, some of the mini-games or challenges are very annoying, and at times, unbeatable. I try to have fun with it, but sometimes it just gets annoying and I turn it off, or switch to an easier game. Overall, it is a good game for any Daffy Duck fan to own, but whoever is able to complete the game, I give Kudos to ya. Its impossible for me.
