Looney Tunes: Sheep Raider (PlayStation, 2001)

For what it is this game is incredible. Nothing can be taken for granted and no level is as easy as it may seem. For those that are up to the challenge this game will kill a bit of time while keeping entertained you, the player, as well as any friends in the room you may be ignoring, in a classic Loony Tunes comic fashion. The countless cleverly placed Acme gadgets you receive will all prove useful as you, Ralph Wolf, grasp at your goal of capturing your not-so-bright prey.

This game will have you going crazy as you work with the puzzles, items, strategies, sequences and skills needed to finish each level, but the feeling you get when you nab that gullible little sheep will make the frustration well worth it.

Hurl yourself over canyons, travel back in time, defuse bombs, avoid landmines, control a cute little robot I named Alfonsi, and interact with your favorite Loony Tunes characters as you get closer and closer to stealing Sam Sheepdog's whole flock.

If you have a job and go to class like I do but play it religiously when you get home, this game will easily offer a week of entertainment or just take up the free time in your sorry life not occupied by more active... activities.

I highly recommend this game to anyone who will give it the patience it deserves. Have fun and don't forget to laugh at yourself.

Brings back memories from childhood! Great strategic game! I never would have thought I would play this game again but I just had too! If you have children I highly suggest letting them play this amazing game!

Although I don't remember the characters names ever being given in the famous but now obscure Warner Brothers Looney Tunes cartoon, 'Sheepdog and Coyote',- the characters and their unforgetable rivalry translates perfectly in this extremely well done game. (That is, once you become comfortable with the camera viewpoint angle adjusting control, which is pretty much the same on most 3D platform games, but is not able to be inverted horizontally or vertically in this games' options).

While not all of the Looney Tunes games are worth playing or even remembering, this one is a virtual masterpiece of well rounded humor, puzzles and challenges, and looks great when played on my PS2 with smoothing settings on (strangely, it looks bad on my PS3, even with smoothing settings on,- possibly an inability of the new hardware to emulate earlier video processing programming. I have found this to be an issue with audio playback of some ingame sound effects too, when playing games like the original Silent Hill on PS3, while it looks far better on both PS2 and PS3 than it did on the PS,- it looks almost like a PS2 generation game on my PS2 with smoothing on to remove pixelization and clean up of images to run at higher resolution, showing details that were not visable when played on the original Playstation console).

This game. [Sheep Raider] as do most PS1 1rst generation games, functions flawlessly on PS2 and can be played from saves made on a PS1 console or new saves, if an original PS1 memory card is used. Not sure if saves made on a PS1 that had GameShark cheats or other cheats, as the code, as that data is usually incompatable/corrupted if attempted to play on PS2. Although I was able to create a virtual memory card to play this on my PS3, it looked bad on PS3. My PS2 also has a hard drive and can create a virtual memory card, but saves cannot save directly to the hard drive and require an original PS1 memory card to copy the virtual saves to,- making the virtual memory good only for bulk storage of game saves and requiring only having one single memory card for PS1 and one for PS2, rather than several cards.

I used to play this game when I was younger and beat it. A couple of years later I had to buy it just to play it again. Graphics are typical Playstation graphics but you can mangae around it. Overall the game is fun to play.

I am so sorry that it has taken so long to write this, but let me just say that the crew there is all over it. You all delivered in spades thank you so much

Grandkids love playing it. Alot of fun. Nothing to dislike. The game is fun for children as well as adults that just want to have some fun.

This is a great game but the cheat functions does not work on PS2 and, It doesn't save either so, it's best to play on PS.
