Why They And Their Games Suck

  1. Their graphics range from mediocre to eye-bleeding.
  2. A some of their games are sometimes just shovelware titles.
    • For example, Tom and Jerry in House Trap is a reskin of Heiankyo Alien, Space Panic, Lode Runner and Spy vs. Spy, while Tiny Toon Adventures: Wacky Stackers is a reskin of Puyo Puyo.
  3. Their games are mostly mediocre, or possibly generic at best and abysmal at worst.
  4. For some reason, their very last game was Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action!, which was released in 2005 as well as being the only game they released for the Nintendo DS (which was a seventh generation handheld) while its Game Boy Advance counterpart was exclusive to Europe. And possibly the worst Animaniacs game ever to date. And then one year later, they were closed for good. What a poor note to end the Animaniacs game series.
  5. In terms of the music in some of their games, while they're not bad, some of them range from forgettable to ear-bleeding.

The Only Redeeming Quality

  1. In terms of the games they made, they've developed some decent games such as Star Trek: Invasion, Tom and Jerry in Mouse Attacks, Rally Championship Xtreme, Rally Championship (2002), Richard Burns Rally and Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt.
