Product Description

Platform: GameCube | Edition: Standard

From the Manufacturer

Auntie Em! It's a Twister! Well, he may spin like a tornado and smell like a landfill, but Taz is a fun-loving Tasmanian devil. Now, Taz and his Looney Toon pals are on the Nintendo GameCube in Taz: Wanted.

Go Wild!

In this 3D platformer, you control the wild and crazy Taz on his quest to escape Yosemite Zoo. You will leave a trail of destruction through more than 15 different levels. At the beginning of each level you will be shown the location of a Wanted Sign that you must destroy. The challenge lies in reaching it.

Yosemite Sam has left a host of hazards behind including trained Taz Catchers. Fortunately, you have several abilities to help you escape. Taz can sneak, spin, burp, and bounce his way out of a jam.

Like any good fugitive, Taz dons wacky disguises to evade capture. After stepping into a phone booth, Taz emerges sporting the threads of a skateboarder, cowboy, monster, or other improbable character. The change in costume also snags him a special attack. For example, as a snowboarder, Taz can bat snowballs at bad guys.

Taz can consume sandwiches, bananas, and many other power-ups. Many items that Taz can't swallow can be spit back at enemies. Several power-ups, like Hiccup Soda and Mega Hot Chili Peppers, will also help in a pinch.

Graphics

Taz: Wanted has a cartoony, cel-shaded look. The bold outlines and detailed animation make Taz stand out from the duller-looking enemies and objects.

Taz: Wanted features appearances from Looney Tunes favorites, including Wile E. Coyote, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, and Sylvester. Characters have been converted from drawings to digital form faithfully, complete with a sense of humor and voiced lines when appropriate.

Looney Tunes fans won't be able to resist Taz and all his fun disguises. Despite the bland objectives, the 3D levels in Taz: Wanted are fun to explore. Fortunately some secondary collecting tasks and two-player minigames extend the replayability of this platformer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kind of, June 21, 2004

This review is from: Taz Wanted (Video Game)

Taz wanted is a really cool game, because it has a lot of things that have to be done. You can unlock mini games and see many levels. You also get to fight bosses like tweety, sam, daffy duck and a huge elefant. The sound is great because it gives life to the game. The game is filled with secreat passways and catchers who will try to catch Taz. The only bad thing about this game is that the colors are so bright that they could give you a headache and taz MOVES SO MUCH that you could get dizzy. Also at first, the posters will not be so eassy to find and destroy, but you must keep trying.

(...)P>Good Luck!!!

This review is from: Taz Wanted (Video Game)

I confess I didn't play past the first level, but here's why. The colors are so bright in this cartoon-graphics game, it can give you a headache. Then on the first level, a dinosaur kept coming out of nowhere and jumping on my Taz, delaying the game as Taz recovered. There's no warning this is going to happen, and no way you can defend yourself. Maybe I didn't give it a chance, but if I have problems on the very first level, it just isn't right. And if you get motion sick easily...well, Taz pretty much spins a lot. Enough said!
