Good

  • The graphics are large, well-drawn, and thematic to the series.
  • Konami really crammed a lot of Tiny Toons characters into the game.
  • The mini games are fun and give nice breaks from the levels.
  • The music is fitting, incorporating the show's theme song, jazzy numbers, and even classical songs common to the cartoon.

Bad

  • Each of the three playable characters are very similar, only their weapon functions differently. It would have been nice to give each slightly different movement abilities.
  • The game runs at a very low frame rate. It's like you're playing in slow motion.
  • Despite giving each level its own graphics, the bulk of it felt too similar.
  • It's pretty easy to farm lives in the mini games, especially the race game, and, as such, the game is very easy to beat.

Ugly

  • Despite the game being called "Bab's Big Break" you never play as Babs; she merely acts as a plot device for the male characters.
