Looney Tunes: Space Race is a 2000 kart-racing video game published by Infogrames for the Dreamcast and developed through Infogrames' own Melbourne House studio.[3] A version of Nintendo 64 was developed, but it was never released.[4][5] It was ported to PlayStation 2 in 2002 (under the name "Space Race") with a new tournament mode and different soundtrack.[6]

Reception

The Dreamcast version received "favorable" reviews, while the PlayStation 2 version received "mixed" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[7][8] Evan Shamoon of NextGen said of the former console version, "Despite one frustrating design decision, this is a beautifully presented and eminently likable game—and easily the best kart racer on Dreamcast."[28]

Notes

  1. ^ In GameFan's viewpoint of the Dreamcast version, three critics gave it each a score of 81, 87, and 82.
