Lt taz wanted

Taz: Wanted is an action-adventure video game released in 2002 for PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, and Microsoft Windows. The game was developed by Blitz Games and published by Infogrames. The game features the Looney Tunes character the Tasmanian Devil.

Plot[]

Taz and She-Devil are feeling romantic at Taz Island. Suddenly, the two see a large shadow in the sky, and the two are captured by Yosemite Sam, held captive in Sam's Zoo, otherwise known as Yosemite Zoo. Sam, during this time, is advertising the zoo, showing off Taz and She-Devil. When Taz attempts to break out of his cage in the middle of the zoo, Sam has She-Devil moved to a safer area of the zoo, so that both Taz and She-Devil cannot escape. After Taz escapes from his cage, Sam has his "Taz Catcher" workers put up wanted posters (hence the game's name) to help catch Taz. Soon afterward, Tweety helps Taz out as a sort of help character, telling Taz to follow the tutorials around the zoo.

Taz then heads to the game's first level, Zooney Tunes, a play on the name Looney Tunes. When Taz has destroyed all seven of the wanted posters in the level, (necessary to advance the game), he then takes an elephant along with him out of the level, which will eventually help him reach the boss level. Once Taz has beaten the first level, he can now proceed to beat the other two levels, Ice Burg and Looney Lagoon. After completing those two, Taz then uses the objects from the previous levels, (an elephant, a snowblower, and a life raft) to enter the area where Sam hauled She-Devil away, beginning the game's first boss battle.

In the battle, Sam has Gossamer attempt to beat Taz in a game of Elephant Pong (name of the level) in order to capture him. When Taz wins, Sam has his crew fall back, and haul She-Devil away again. Taz chases after them, and reaches the town of "Sam" Francisco. After Taz evades capture again, Sam tells Taz that in order to rescue She-Devil, he has to go to a game show called Gladiatoons to win her freedom. After gaining access to a giant hot dog sausage, a giant, neon shopping trolley and a cement mixer from the levels, "Samsonian Museum," "Looningdale's", and "Bank of Samerica," he heads straight for the Gladiatoon match.

After beating out the competitor, Daffy Duck, during the boss battle, Taz is not reunited with his love, but is transported to the Old West, where he must beat the levels, "Granny Canyon," "Taz: Haunted" and "Cartoon Strip Mine" in order to get a mine cart and a boulder to access the next boss, which happens to be Sam in a giant warehouse full of explosives. During the battle, Sam attempts to blow Taz up using dynamite, causing the entire cache of explosives to do just that, explode. The explosions are so great that they hurl Taz into outer space, before he lands back on his island, only to discover that Sam is trying to build a theme park there, which Sam mentioned when Taz first escaped. Later, Taz catches up to Sam in a volcano. After trying to get rid of our hero by dipping him into the lava, he attempts to destroy the entire island, again with explosives. After Sam's defeat, the plot takes a final anticlimactic twist, with Yosemite escaping with a jetpack.

Having had enough for the moment, Taz and She-Devil are raised into Sam's blimp. However, Sam had been placed out of the picture, so who was controlling the craft? To our Devil's astonishment, it was Tweety's idea to construct 'Tazland A-maze-ment Park' all along; Sam being a mere puppet. The two begin to duel, Tweety being in a large robotic suit, while Taz must use crates to eat and spit at Tweety's weak points during the battle. The game ends with Taz activating the blimp's rear cargo door, pushing Tweety and his robot out, falling a large height. While She-Devil had been trying to figure out how to pilot the blimp, Taz accidentally destroys the control panel, causing the craft to crash on the island. Both emerging groggily from the wreckage, She-Devil rants and hands Taz a broom. Then he gets ticked off at what he perceives as ingratitude.

"Taz no maid!" was his final remorse.

Gameplay[]

Taz: Wanted has four areas, the first three having the same basic blueprint. There are three levels in each area, each level having seven wanted posters of some variety that must be destroyed with some technique. Once all seven posters are destroyed, a scene will show an area of the level in which something happens that will help Taz get to the new area, such as a gate opening or something breaking. In the new area, Taz gets his hands on something and somehow manages to get it and him back to the HUB. Once the three things are acquired for the area, they can be used to enter a boss arena. The only exception for this is the level Taz Land Amazament Park, in which nothing is brought back, and the final area, with only one level and two bosses. Once the boss is defeated Taz is either blown, shipped, or chased to the next area. To travel between areas, a misplaced door is placed in each one which transports you to Planet X with all the other doors Taz can travel through.

  • Disco Volcano: Sam accidentally initiated the self-destruct sequence on his lair after a failed attempt to catch Taz with a trapdoor. Now he wants to blow up Taz's home manually with a detonator. To stop Sam, Taz has blow fire whenever he's on a detonator.
  • The Hiden-bird: After defeating Sam, Taz attempts to save his sweetheart only to get shanghaied on Sam's blimp, which is now in the control of... Ooooooh... I tawt I taw a Tweety Bird! As it turns out, after helping you out on your journey, that it was Tweety Pie's idea to build Taz-Land Theme Park all along, but he didn't intend to reveal himself until now. The final battle has Tweety riding in a robo-suit, and the battle has three phases and each of them requires something different to hit.

Powerups[]

There are various powerups that can be found in the levels:

  • Invisibility Potion - thanks to that potion, Taz can become invisible and sneak past Taz Catchers and Boxing Glove Boxes.
  • Super-Burp Soda Can - thanks to this can, Taz can release a powerful burp that can destroy many objects within the radius of the burp.
  • Super-Hiccups Soda Can - thanks to this can, Taz can jump higher than usual but the hiccups are random.
  • Spicy Jalapeno Pepper - thanks to this can, Taz can release a powerful chili blow that can destroy objects within the blast.
  • Dynamite - the only harmful powerup that slows Taz down and nulls the effects of other powerups.
