Poor execution, no real personality and identical gameplay across multiple characters squash the fun factor like a 50-ton Acme anvil.

Acme Arsenal has its fun moments, but only if you don't think too hard. [Dec 2007, p.89]

If you're truly after a vapid brawling experience, by all means, be our guest. Overall, however, AA is a shallow trip down license lane, and that's all, folks.

Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal is a seriously flawed game that continually stops the player from reveling in old-time cartoon entertainment.

It's a below-average platformer in a Bugs Bunny outfit, and that's all folks. [Christmas 2007, p.112]

Frustrating, disheartening and broken in places: a perfect recipe for making kids cry. [Christmas 2007, p.95]

Unfortunately Acme Arsenal never really delivers. The gameplay is repetitive and bland, never really offering a great deal of enjoyment. One of Bug’s quips as he topples enemies in the game is, “now this is fun.” We’re sorry Bug’s, but you’re sorely mistaken.

Dull, repetitive, and carelessly programmed don't even begin to sum up how crummy this action game based on the Looney Tunes license is.

Next to sharing the screen with Michael Jordan, this game has to be the low point in Bugs Bunny's career. [Dec 2007, p.140]

There's simply nothing redeeming about Acme Arsenal. It's an incredibly poor, woefully unentertaining use of a great license, and an absolute bore to play. It doesn't get nearly enough right to be anywhere close to average, and becomes its own worst enemy with a cavalcade of embarrassing glitches.

Keenan S. gave it a3:
This was a terrible game from start to finish. The gameplay is an atrocious mess thanks to the incompetent button-mashing and numerous cheap deaths because of platforming, the graphics are so awful I can name PSone and N64 games that looked better, the game crashed on me eight times as I played it, and the story is a hackneyed mess that shames the Looney Tunes brand. One of the worst games on the PS2.

Frederick G gave it a0:
No, this is really not worth buying. it is terrible shovelware that is barely competent even as a platformer. with so many other great PS2 titles there is absolutely no excuse for purchasing this.

J DT gave it a10:
This game was full of good, clean humor from start to finish and is really worth buying.
