Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal is a third-person action romp that blatantly borrows a number of concepts from Sony's Ratchet & Clank series.

If you disregard the fact that gun violence is very out of character for the Looney Tunes gang, then the game's biggest problem is that it tries to copy Ratchet & Clank but doesn't actually come anywhere close to delivering the same amount of fun or variety that the typical Ratchet & Clank game does.

Seventy years ago, in April of 1930, the first Looney Tunes cartoon was released. It was an eight minute musical adventure called Sinkin' in the Bathtub, starring two new characters named Bosko and Honey. Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising -- two ex-Disney animators -- partnered with producer Leon Schlesinger to create the cartoon, which was distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. None of them could have imagined that seventy years later this cartoon would be considered a milestone in animation history. They would never have believed that anyone would still care after all these years.
