Upon hearing the title, many gamers will think this is a deviant's take on the popular Tomb Raider series. In actuality, Sheep Raider is a wholesome single-player strategy game that features two of Warner Brothers's B-list Looney Tunes characters. More popular characters such as Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and Foghorn Leghorn make cameos appearances. The object of the game is to help Ralph Wolf amass a flock of sheep by stealing them from Sam Sheep-dog. In addition to his considerably stealthy skills, Ralph will have the Acme catalog of products with which to work.
Sheep Raider's levels feature clever puzzles in which Ralph must chain together various items. Discerning the right actions and order was pleasantly challenging in our preview. It was a real treat to use the items, as the actions captured the feel of seeing these ludicrous creations in the cartoons. You'll get to use female-sheep perfume, safes, rockets, giant rubber bands, and more. The character's overstated movements, such as Ralph's giant-stepped tiptoeing, further add to the Looney Tunes feel. With its E rating and budget price, Sheep Raider is shaping up as a great game that should appeal to gamers of all ages. --Raymond M. Padilla |
