Looney Tunes: Cartoon Conductor

One of the things that made the old Looney Tunes cartoons so charming was that the antics of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Tuck, Tweety Bird, and pals were cleverly synchronized to famous pieces of classical music like the \"William Tell Overture\" or Wagner's \"Flight of the Valkyrie.\" The rhythm action game LOONEY TUNES CARTOON CONDUCTOR gives players a chance to wield the conductor's baton (aka the Nintendo DS stylus) and guide the soundtrack of a series of Looney Tunes shorts.

On the bottom half of the DS screen is the \"conductor's score,\" where numbered symbols appear representing important musical beats as a piece of music plays in the background. The goal is to drag the stylus to each symbol in the right order and rhythm. A variation has players tapping the screen as symbols scroll to the bottom. As you play, a cartoon scene unfolds in the top screen featuring various Looney Tunes characters including Bugs, Daffy, and Tweety as well as Sylvester, Speedy Gonzales, Marvin the Martian, Foghorn Leghorn, and the Tasmania Devil, to name a few. The game provides entertaining feedback in that if you miss a note, you can hear the music go sour; on the other hand, a good performance will bring the house down with cheers and claps.
