Here’s a game that will send your DS into a spin! It’s Galactic Taz Ball from Warner Bros starring Taz, the whizzy devil from the Looney Tunes cartoons. Let’s take a closer look at the action….

The dastardly Marvin the Martian has been stealing big chunks of the Earth and taking them to Mars to make the place look more scenic! While sucking up big clods of earth though, he accidentally kidnaps Taz. Big mistake! Taz is mad, and you’ve got to control him as he spins from one platform to the next, floating in space, and help him stop Marvin destroying the planet, then get Taz back home.

There are two worlds to explore in Galactic Taz Ball, with each having completely different gameplay. There’s the Overworld which is played out with 3D action on the top DS screen – you use the bottom screen as a tracker ball to move Taz around. Then there’s…

…the Underworld which is more of a side-scrolling puzzle game played on just the bottom screen using touch controls. Spin Taz fast enough in this mode and he will become a tornado, destroying enemies and objects – in fact anything that gets in his way! There’s lots of machinery and gadgets to explore in Taz’s wild way in this part of the game – with buckets of fun to be had!

Galactic Taz Ball is fast-paced, as you would expect from a game starring the Tasmanian Devil, and colourful. It’s great having the two different modes of play, as it stops you getting bored of one style of game. It’s also good to see Taz getting a videogame outing again – about time!

Taz is one of those Looney Tunes characters that you’ve just got to love, and this DS game is packed with frantic fun!
