Reception

Template:Video game reviews The game was met with mixed reviews upon release, except for the Game Boy Advance version, which received unfavorable reviews. GameRankings and Metacritic gave it respective scores of 49.38% and 47 out of 100 for the Game Boy Advance version;[4][5]

58.77% and 51 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version;[6][7] and 67.63% and 64 out of 100 for the GameCube version.[8][9] Reviewing the PS2 version for X-Play, Skyler Miller gave the game a 2 out of 5, criticising the graphics, calling them "mediocre at best". They additionally thought the camera was difficult to use and concluded that "In the end, 'Looney Tunes: Back in Action' feels like a generic platformer with Looney Tunes characters pasted on top of it. All of the irreverent one-liners in the world can't save it, and neither can half-hearted appearances by supporting characters."[2]
