POCG VERDICT
A licensed platformer with the right characters and nowhere near enough chaos.
Animaniacs: A Gigantic Adventure has the license, the characters, and the setup. What it does not have is enough speed, madness, or fun.
About This Game

Animaniacs: A Gigantic Adventure is a side-scrolling platform game for Windows developed by EAI Interactive and published by SouthPeak Interactive. Released June 15, 1999, it casts Yakko, Wakko, and Dot across a series of themed environments, each with their own weapon: Wakko swings a baseball bat, Yakko wields a rubber mallet, and Dot throws anvils. Based on the Warner Bros. animated series, it was one of the last major Animaniacs game releases before the original show ended.
