Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports review

As a gamer who grew up with the Looney Tunes antics and still considers Space Jam a classic, I was excited to dive back into this wacky world with Wacky World of Sports. However, I can’t help but feel that this game is like a favorite uncle who means well but just can’t seem to get his act together.


It’s been quite some time since the Looney Tunes have been popular, but as soon as I started playing Wacky World of Sports, I felt like I was back home. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Taz were all a big part of my childhood, and I still think Space Jam is an underappreciated gem. Whether you’re familiar with these wacky cartoon characters or not, is it worth playing? There aren’t many sports games that prioritize fun and arcade-style gameplay like Nintendo has done so well with its Mario sports titles. So, should you give this a try instead of the excellent selection of games on the Switch?

Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports isn’t exceptional, but it doesn’t fall short either. Certain sports in this game are more enjoyable than others, yet it’s challenging to categorize it as anything other than average. Interestingly, golf stands out among the four sports as the most entertaining, thanks largely to its simple two-button control system and diverse selection of courses. The slower pace and absence of cumbersome running around courts or fields make this sport more engaging, allowing players to concentrate on perfecting their shots.

Here’s one way to rephrase the text while maintaining its meaning and making it more natural and easy to read:

In football games, there seems to be an unfair balance in scoring opportunities. While you can attempt close-range shots, the goalkeeper often blocks them effortlessly. On the other hand, opponents might score from long distances without much opposition, which was a recurring issue throughout each match. To truly enjoy the game, it’s necessary to understand these quirks. The game allows for impressive shots similar to Mario Strikers, and each character has unique animations. This works fairly well, but outside of these special moves, the overall movement feels quite clunky.

In the Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports game, tennis is one of the sports featured, and exchanging rallies with your adversary can be entertaining. However, trying to find an opportunity isn’t satisfying since the AI doesn’t appear very intelligent when you finally hit that crucial shot. Additionally, it was challenging to move toward the backline to execute a sweeping shot against my opponent because the controls didn’t seem as responsive as needed. Despite the issues with sluggish movement and unresponsiveness, playing tennis against a friend or family member in local co-op can still be enjoyable.

The animations are outstanding, particularly as they bring the arenas to life during contests. Some of the settings are impressive, with audiences appearing lively and enhancing the overall immersion. Characters deliver their lines smoothly, and there’s some hilarious humor that fans of ACME will appreciate. It’s more vivid and detailed than I anticipated, but if only the gameplay was more enjoyable, my viewpoint would be much more favorable.

As a gamer, I found Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports to have tremendous potential, but the sluggish movement and unresponsive controls held it back significantly. Amongst all the modes available, Golf stood out as the best, yet the lack of polish in overall gameplay makes it hard to recommend over existing titles that nail it so effectively. The visuals are spot-on and blend seamlessly across various locations, but unfortunately, the games themselves weren’t engaging enough for me to fully enjoy the experience.
