Each movie-set had five or six different soundtracks and as you changed areas (like moving from the peaceful lagoon to the gold mines in the first movie) the old music would fade out as the new faded in. This is one of the parts of the game that got a bit annoying, so much so that there were times when I would turn down the volume so I didn't have to hear the same four or five phrases every time I swung my mallet or got hit by an enemy. As you progress through the game, you will hear each of the characters' favorite one-liners.

Everyone from the three Warners to Pinky and The Brain act and look just like I remember them.Īs for the audio aspect of Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt, the original cast reprises their roles once again for this new, zany adventure. I know the Warner Brothers (and their sister Dot) are of a somewhat goofier nature than the classic WB cartoons, but even the studio hub world just doesn't sit right.Īs for the characters, they are very distinct and easily recognizable as their animated counterparts. But alas, the scenery of the Animaniacs game goes past slightly cartoony (like in Looney Toons) and goes straight to goofy. Seeing as the developers of this game, Warthog, are the same folks who created Looney Toons: Back in Action, I was hoping for a style very similar to that. The graphics of The Great Edgar Hunt aren't bad per se, they just weren't what I was expecting. There are also many movie parodies, and it uses the opportunity to riff on a handful of video games.Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt comes off bigger, better and grander than previous Animaniacs titles, but still comes up slightly short in the overall experience. The game also features the original cast of the show reprising their roles. Each of their brief games contains another unsuccessful attempt at global dominance.

In addition, there are bonus mini-games with Pinky and The Brain as guests. Each globe also has 300 collectibles players receive one Edgar after 150 collectibles and another at 300 collectibles. Players advance through the game by collecting Edgar awards and unlocking new Warner Movie Lots locations. Dot, for example, may limbo under low walls, Wakko in soft dirt, and Yakko under weak walls. Each character has unique abilities that can be acquired as the player progresses through the game. Assist the Warners in reclaiming the Edgars! The player controls Yakko, Wakko, and Dot in Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt, a 3D platformer. Deville is the perpetrator, threatening to melt down the Edgars unless he gets a ten-picture deal from Warner Bros.! Deville arrives in his airship but crashes into the Water Tower, dispersing the Edgars around the several movie lots while also rescuing Yakko, Wakko, and Dot. Hollywood is outraged because the film Edgar Awards has been stolen! C.C.
