Bugs Bunny & Taz: Time Busters

Bugs Bunny & Taz: Time Busters is the second Looney Tunes video game for the PlayStation and Microsoft Windows and is an indirect sequel to Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time.

Plot
Granny hires Daffy Duck as an exterminator to deal with a mouse. Daffy however foolishly ends up breaking Granny's Time regulator machine and takes the Time Jewel which warps him to a different time period.

The Time regulator explodes, causing its gears to scatter all over different time periods and people from those periods to get lost in others. Granny asks Bugs Bunny to help her repair the Time regulator. Bugs also finds himself forced to team up with Taz in his quest-

With an unlikely alliance, Bugs and Taz set out through four different Time periods to find the Time regulator's gears, to find Daffy Duck, and recover the Time jewel... Bugs just has to hope Taz doesn't try to eat him along the way!

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Good and detailed graphics.
 * 2) Like the first game, it features many Looney Tunes characters, some returning favorites while others are new.
 * 3) Lots of goofy humor.
 * 4) Good music.
 * 5) Lots of fun mini-games in each hub world.
 * 6) Co-op gameplay between Taz and Bugs Bunny, each have their unique moves. In single player you control one at a time and can switch which one you're controlling.
 * 7) In co-op you can switch which character is controlling the camera. The character not controlling the camera can warp himself next to the other one at any time so you don't get lost.
 * 8) The game makes good use of having two playable characters. Most puzzles require using both Bugs and Taz's abilities to be solved.
 * 9) There is friendly-fire, however when you attack the other character they immediately spawn a carrot to recover the lost health so there's no penalty for attacking the other player for fun.
 * 10) When Bugs & Taz are left idle standing next to each other, Taz will bite Bugs.
 * 11) Explore vast levels and collect gears to unlock new stages.
 * 12) Multiple endings depending on how many gears were collected.
 * 13) Once again, there are countless references and tributes to the cartoons, for example Elmer Fudd appearing as a Viking from "What's Opera Doc?" in the Viking era levels.
 * 14) Unlike the first game, there's a life counter so there's a bit of a challenge and you can't screw around as much.

Bad qualities

 * 1) In single player there's no AI controlling the other character, so you'll have to control both yourself. This can make puzzles slightly tedious to solve occasionally.
 * 2) In co-op mode the player not controlling the camera can walk off-screen and get lost.
 * 3) Some of the mini-games like "Sacred Ride", "Shield Race", and "Carpet Chase" have collectables that are obnoxious to get, making the player beat them multiple times in order to complete the 100% ending.

Reception
The game was met with mixed to positive reception upon release. GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 74.95% and 72 out of 100 for the PlayStation version,and 70% for the PC version.
