Though, The Great Edgar Hunt tries to appear open-ended and non-linear, it really isn't. But once you're done with those feats - you are one Edgar closer to the end. These tasks range from helping the local Indians perform a rain dance (of course you need to find Dot and a grass skirt) to taming a bucking bronco. So basically, that means Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt is a game that has you running around the studio and six movie sets (each with their own theme like western, Roman, fairytale, etc.) to complete tasks set by characters and earn or find Edgar trophies. Now all 45 of the Edgar Awards have been scattered across the studio and it is up to the Warner Brothers and their sister Dot to get them back before The Edgars. While calling to make his ransom demands, the villain's henchmen accidentally flies the crook's zeppelin into the Warner Brothers tower (naturally alerting the three siblings residing within). Just days before The Edgars (what would be The Oscars in our world), some vile, mad and constantly overlooked director snuck into the WB studio and has stolen all of the Edgar statues. It was a nice effect that was much better than just suddenly switching melodies. It almost sounded like the music was coming from the area because as you went away from the location, that area's music would get overpowered by the new area's tunes. 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. 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.
