WARNER BROS. INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS IGNITION ENTERTAINMENT VIDEOGAME LICENSE FOR ANIMANIACS: THE GREAT EDGAR HUNT
Beloved Animaniacs Franchise Coming To PlayStation®2, Xbox® And Nintendo GameCubeTM
Friday 15 April 2005/... Ignition Entertainment announces "Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt," licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft and Nintendo GameCubeTM in May 2005 throughout Europe. Based on the multiple Emmy Award-winning animated series from Warner Bros. Animation and Amblin Entertainment, this new addition to Ignition's ever-growing line-up makes full use of the Animaniacs license - right down to the actual voice actors from the series.
Developed by Warthog, "Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt" will also be released in North America in June 2005.
The game is a third-person action adventure, which brings the colourful and hysterical world of the Animaniacs wonderfully to life. Players must guide the Warner brothers...and sister – Wakko, Yakko and Dot – through six levels in a quest to locate the hidden Edgar trophies. Each Animaniac has his or her own special abilities, and each must be used in order to fully explore the luscious landscapes.
Puzzle elements are featured in the game along with ever-changing enemies and obstacles. Five incredible 'Pinky & The Brain' mini-games vary the pace of the adventure, as they explore the huge Animaniacs world, which is populated with dozens of characters from the cartoon.
"Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt" will be released for PlayStation®2, Xbox® and Nintendo GameCubeTM in June 2005, priced £19.99.

It's time for AAAANIIIMAANIACS!
And we're zany to the max!
So just sit back and relax
You'll laugh 'till you collapse
We're ANIMANIACS!
I could go on with the entire theme, not to mention a selection of alternate versus in the second to last line of the song, but I'll spare you *L*
As for the game, somehow Nintendo Power reviewed it early (in their Killer 7 issue) and it got some mediocre scores. If it's a budget title, I may check it out regardless.

QuoteAll I can remember is "While Bill Clinton plays the sax". Although I remember there being at least a half dozen others.

QuoteIt really depends on how much humor is added and how much the developers used the source material. I don't mind saying I had a blast with Simpsons Hit & Run, not because it was good technically, but because of all the Simpsons-related humor that virtually oozes out of every pore of the game.

You mean I'm NOT the only one that played that game? WHOA. Christopher Lloyd, Tim Curry AND Tress MacNeille in the same game? It was great. Oh - OH. And the game was great too. Ha ha.
Anyway, Animaniacs was good, but Freakazoid was definitely far superior. Pity we never got a Freakazoid game. Although, to be honest, I have no idea how you'd do one.
HUGBEES!

Truth!
The Mega Drive version was awesome, never played the SNES version, are they the same?

Just remembered, wasn't it WB that implemented the dreaded 70% rule? The "If your game sucks you're gonna pay for it" rule?
