How Metascores Are Calculated

1 vs. 100
Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
Players unleash musical abilities using the DS stylus to conduct the orchestra like a maestro and compose the music to classic Looney Tunes cartoon scenes featuring infamous characters such as Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat and Tweety. Once the famous scenes are successfully recreated, gamers will be rewarded with clips from favorite Looney Tunes cartoon moments. [Eidos Interactive]

I wish the developers had done more with this game, like include other modes or pursued the music idea further. But if you like Looney Tunes and Elite Beat Agents, however, this game is totally for you.

1UP
The game's certainly on the short side (with just 18 total songs), but unlike many previous attempts to capitalize on Looney Tunes nostalgia, Cartoon Conductor's whimsical presentation actually matches up well with the fast-paced, familiar rhythm approach -- creating the rare licensed experience that may bring a legitimate smile to your face.

Armchair Empire
The biggest hurdle that I had - having put many, many hours into Elite Beat Agents - is wrapping my brain around not lifting the stylus from the screen. I had to fight my urge to just start tapping, which is my own conditioned problem.

Games Master UK
Hard to master although fans will enjoy the cartoon silliness. [Aug 2008, p.83]

n-Revolution Magazine UK
An enjoyable and quirky little rhythm-action game that is clearly aimed at younger musical prodigies. [Issue #24, p.67]

games(TM)
A licensed game that lives up to its heritage, and a music game that holds its own against the seasoned pros. [Aug 2008, p.109]

NGamer UK
It's not without its charms even if it's hardly a virtuoso performance. [Aug 2008, p.68]

Official Nintendo Magazine UK
Basically rhythm action classic "Elite Beat Agents" with Looney Tunes characters. [Sept 2008, p.99]

IGN
But for what it is, Cartoon Conductor isn’t a bad little rhythm game even if many of the included songs have a harder to feel beat.

Worth Playing
The Looney Tunes license is well used, but it narrows the game's audience in an unintuitive direction.

GameSpot
Looney Tunes: Cartoon Conductor is light on challenge and heavy on cartoon mayhem.

Nintendo Power
A mixed bag that owes as much to "Elite Beat Agents" as it does to Bach, Wagner, and Beethoven. [July 2008, p.90]

Cheat Code Central
Frankly, quite a few of the early Warner Brothers cartoons were incredibly violent, racist, and inappropriate for the young audiences they were geared towards. However, when you weed out the offensive or mediocre content, there's some good material to be found there, and it's these quality moments that make it into the game.
60
Pocket Gamer UK
Likeable, fun rhythm game that uses clips from Warner Bros' most famous cartoon enemies to spice up the action. Bit simplistic and lacks any outstanding features, but it is universally playable.
25
Destructoid
The game just reeks of a lack of interest. The animation work is fine, and there aren't any bugs, but it feels like there's no care for the audience involved here.
