The ravenous, relentless, natural disaster of a hero, TAZ, is rip-roaring mad. Yosemite Sam locked him in a zoo and wants to turn Taz's homeland into a tacky theme park! Now as an escapee, Taz is on the run gobbling power-ups, using disguises and leaving a wacky wake of destruction across four hazard-filled worlds in an attempt to stop Sam. [Infogrames]

This is easily the best WB-based game to come down the pike yet. [Sept 2002, p.69]

Looks fantastic, the cel-shaded style really helps to bring the classic Looney Tunes quirkiness to the game and all of the main characters are well animated and look as they should.

Control is also a bit gimpy, particularly with some of the special movies, which only adds to the frustration. [Sept 2002, p.119]

With much more precise controls and a much more solid camera, Taz: Wanted could have been one of those rare treats for gamers of all ages.

Better than the average platformer in many ways, and in most aspects of its production, it's poorly executed.

PSX Nation
Continues to uphold Infogrames’ tradition of low-key but fun Looney Tunes videogames that do justice to the license.

The game's frustrating reliance on awkward platform jumping and its poor camera keep it from being recommendable to anyone at all.
