Looney Tunes: Sheep Raider

Looney Tunes: Sheep Raider (also known as Sheep, Dog, 'n' Wolf in PAL regions) is a puzzle-platformer stealth video game developed and published by Infogrames for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation.

The game is based on the popular Warner Bros. series of cartoons featuring Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog.

Gameplay
Controlling Ralph, the player must steal sheep from under Sam's nose while navigating through a series of levels including two secret levels and a Bonus level.

Plot
After another failed attempt at stealing a sheep from Sam Sheepdog, Ralph Wolf returns home after his shift to relax and enjoy some television in his chair. Daffy Duck bursts in and declares that Ralph is the newest contestant on the game show "Sheep, Dog, and Wolf" or as Daffy likes to call it, "Who Wants to Be a Sheep Stealer". In this show, Ralph is tasked with successfully stealing sheep from Sam in a variety of environments, though he is not allowed to harm the sheep in any way.

Despite many obstacles and encounters with various characters such as Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Gossamer, Toro and Road Runner, Ralph is finally able to steal Sam's entire flock, but as he is declared the winner, Marvin the Martian gatecrashes the show, angry at Ralph and Daffy because a specific sheep that Ralph was forced to fire into the sky using Yosemite Sam's cannon in order to win actually landed on Planet X while Marvin was experimenting with his instant Martians, causing a serious accident which led to the Martians scattering across the planet. Marvin forcibly takes Ralph to Planet X with the task of recovering the Martians. Ralph eventually completes his task and is returned home by Marvin along with the stranded sheep. However, once inside, the sheep is revealed to be Sam in disguise, who grabs Ralph and prepares to beat him revengefully when Ralph's alarm clock sounds and he wakes up from his sleep, revealing that the game's events were only a dream.

Visibly disappointed, Ralph goes outside to start another shift of sheep stealing from Sam.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Fun and simple plot based on the premise of the cartoons.
 * 2) A large roster of characters from the Looney Tunes cartoons appear throughout the game, with Daffy Duck providing help in the early levels, Porky Pig farming lettuce in Level 1, and so on.
 * 3) Unlike most Looney Tunes games which were simple platformers or collectathons featuring different characters, this is a strategy game where the player has to use stealth to steal sheep from Sam, thus making it closer to the original series.
 * 4) Most levels have hidden workclocks to find, which encourages replayability.
 * 5) Creative puzzles that constantly pay tribute to the tricks Ralph E. Wolf uses in the cartoons.
 * 6) Sam learns from Ralph's tricks and prepares counter-measures thus becoming increasingly more clever as the game goes on. For example, Level 4 has Ralph using a magic flute to hypnotize Sam, so in Level 5 Sam puts on ear-plugs to avoid hypnotism.
 * 7) Awesome music.
 * 8) Very good graphics that strongly resemble the artstyle of a Chuck Jones cartoon.
 * 9) The iconic gag of Wile E. Coyote running into a painted tunnel on the wall is included, only this time with Ralph.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Long loading times.
 * 2) Clunky and slightly delayed controls.
 * 3) Some of the puzzles have overly cryptic and convoluted solutions that take lots of trial and error to figure out.
 * 4) There are a few times when you can get stuck in an unwinnable situation due to doing a puzzle wrong, forcing you to restart the whole level.
 * 5) Some notable Looney Tunes characters are missing, with the most obvious being Bugs Bunny.
 * 6) * Though this can be justified as it's supposed to be a day in the limelight for an otherwise very obscure character that never gets much recognition.
