Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose Review|Review Discussion|Forum|SNES HUB

I really enjoyed this as a kid, both the cartoon and the games. Only the other day I was playing Buster’s Hidden Treasure with my niece and nephew. Brought back a lot of memories – I’m definitely getting Buster Bust’s Loose very soon. I love 2d platformer’s and there’s something about the Tiny Toon franchise that brings out the best of Konami in terms of platform gameplay. Although I remember this game being easy as games go it was so much fun you don’t even notice or care. The mini-game section were awesome, the Hampton one being particularly rewarding should you manage to complete it. Great review, this is a game for all to enjoy.

Here’s my take then. Buster’s Hidden Treasure is a high quality game. It’s a platformer that’s very enjoyable to play because the controls are very responsive and fluid, akin to the standard of any of the best 2d platform games, it’s that good. The main character is fun to play. You use a button for jumping, a button for slide attack (during dash) and a button for the special item attack which consist of a different Tiny Toons character coming to your aid and clearing the screen of enemies. Buster moves exactly how you would want him to allowing maximum playability and enjoyment in a game like this. The longer you hold the direction the more he will pick up pace eventually into a dash. The longer you hold jump the further he will, holding the jump button down on an enemy allows you to get a high leap enabling Buster to reach other places. He can also jump from wall to wall by pressing the jump button at the right time at each spot, this is probably the best feature as it suddenly makes the levels all the better. You can also notice the little things that really bring a feeling that the developers went the extra mile, Buster has loads of different animations and there are obstacles that activate certain humorous one’s such as walking into a rake or tripping over a can onto his face. The levels are the standard platforming fair at the start but soon get tougher as you progress. There are several exits on each stage, different paths to take, hidden rooms and added to the aesthetics of the levels themselves its platforming heaven. One of the high points of the game is the excellent standard of sound and effects, I don’t normally appreciate the MD/Genesis sound chip but this is exceptional, crystal clear and very smooth. I can’t really find fault other then it’s difficulty but that’s only because I’ve played it so much no doubt. Even so, id warn anyone that the last few stages can get very tough. It’s definitely not as easy as the SNES game. Overall BHT is impeccably presented and play’s like a dream, although they’re different games for me compared to BBL it’s superior in more ways than less. You can get it complete for dirt cheap still and you won’t regret it.
