Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time can easily be described as a hidden gem on the Playstation. Developed by Behaviour Interactive and published by Infogrames in 1999, this Warner Brothers game stars everyone's favorite wascilly wabbit, Bugs Bunny. This game can be played in 3 languages; English, French, and Spanish. With five time periods and 21 colorful levels to explore for carrots, clocks, and ACME crates, you could have the time of your life with this title.

Graphics (9/10)- Everything was taken into traditional Warner Brothers fashion when producing this game. From minor details such as grass, dirt, and water to the big deals such as character animations and rendered models, Behaviour took great pride in producing this game the way it was meant to be. Textures are crisp and sharp, character models are crisp polygons and are easily identifiable, and each level has its own distinct characteristics that make no two levels truly alike, with the exception of two Stone Age era levels; "Wabbit on the Run" and "The Hare Blower." Both levels use the same base map, but Hare Blower is an extended night version of Wabbit on the Run.

Sound (8/10)- Like the graphics, the sound was done in the traditional manner; scores upon scores of orchestral soundtrack that give every era and their levels their own distinct theme. Sound effects and character vocals are clear and easy to understand (Even Mel Blanc's archived Yosemite Sam voices sound great.)

Addictiveness (8/10)- The story may get old, but the gameplay sure doesn't. Every time I start a new game, I look forward to each level as great memories come back to me and make me remember why Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time is my favorite PS1 title. Along the way, Bugs will learn several new abilities taught to him by Merlin at different time periods. Such abilities include reaching a great height, summoning fans to jump around the air with, activating an explosive piano, and getting Beaky Buzzard to give you a lift.

Story (3/10)- The story is typical by Looney Tunes standards; Bugs (Voiced by Billy West) takes a wrong turn at Albuquerque on his way to Pismo Beach and winds up in a warehouse mistaking a Time Machine for a carrot juice dispenser. Bugs activates it and your journey begins in the middle of nowhere where you meet a sorcerer named Merlin Munroe (An obvious reference to Marilyn Monroe) who is voiced by Jess Harnell, who guides you through 10 tutorial challenges to help the player get familiar with the controls. Once you complete all 10 tutorials in the level, you speak with Merlin as he tells you to go through time and collect clocks to get back to the present time. One thing about the sequence that throws me off in this game is the need to leave a level half-finished, that level being "The Great Escape" in the 1930s era where you must have the ability to play a sequence to get rid of a piano blocking your path on the second floor of the motel. The goal is to collect 120 clocks and return to the present time. But if you fully complete the game, there is a secret credits reel that will run.

Depth (7/10)- This is an extensive 3D platformer that can be beaten in one sitting (though not recommended). In each era there are two levels that stray away from the large maps gathering objects and substitute different types of levels, such as fighting a single opponent such as Elmer Fudd or Toro the Bull, racing Marvin the Martian on foot, or Daffy Duck on skis, outrunning Rocky, Mugsy, and Witch Hazel, or cannon-fighting with Sam. These levels are a nice change of pace from the normal levels even though there are still golden carrots and clocks to collect. You may need to play the levels over again to ensure you have everything, or you can play it again because it's a favorite of yours.

Difficulty (3/10)- The controls take a bit to get used to as every button on the PS1 controller is used in this game, but once you get used to them, the game is relatively easy and with infinite lives and saving opportunities given at various checkpoints, there is almost no reason someone can't complete the game. The reason I say almost is because in the final level of Dimension X, "The Great Space Race/Train Your Brain", there is a logic sequence that must be cracked which is overlooked at by a giant eye that will zap you if you fail.

This game is over 15 years old but with great visuals, controls, and classic Looney Tunes humor, Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time is a memorable platformer that leaves you coming back for more. For that I give this game a 9/10.
