Game Review: 'Looney Tunes Cartoon Conductor'

Rated: Everyone Platform: Nintendo DS (Eidos)

The game play is very similar to Nintendo's 2006 "Elite Beat Agents" in that, essentially, you tap onscreen icons in rhythm to the music. What distinguishes "Cartoon Conductor" is that it's based on the classical compositions many of us first heard in Warner Bros. cartoons. Rossini's "Barber of Seville" becomes "Rabbit of Seville," while Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" is the score for "What's Opera, Doc?" "Cartoon Conductor" is a painless introduction to the classics, and a refreshing change from the pop soundtracks of every other rhythm game.
