Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf / Looney Tunes: Sheep Raider (PS1) | Sean Seanson

[@MultiDsimaster]

Here in Brazil, everyone that had a PS1 loves this game, because it was one of the few to have Brazillian Portuguese language

[@yuripulga]

Um dos melhores jogos já feitos! =)

[@acetrigger1337]

Yup! me and my friends were deep into it because of that language barrier just being gone!

[@dylanm1452]

I'm really surprised this game has so little representation in the youtube sphere. It really does seem like the type of game that would get at least a minor cult following years after the fact. Thanks for showing off another hidden banger of a game Sean!

[@ink1931]

This voice cast actually is done by the usual real deal modern Looney Tunes voice actors of the time, not backup actors: Joe Alaskey, Bob Bergen, Greg Burson and Maurice LaMarche. All of which who voiced these characters in numerous projects respectively from the 1990s onwards

[@mysteriousmrocd8384]

So glad you’re reviewing this, in my opinion it’s one of the most underrated ps1 games with an amazing soundtrack.

[@PlaylistGeneral]

I remember playing the demo of this and being shocked by how intricate it was - it was waaaay beyond my 6-year-old braining capabilities. I kept coming back to it though because its super interesting.

[@swosho]

Easily one of the best games on the console! Stacked to the ceiling with eye & ear candy, clever and fun gameplay and level design. Replaying this game as an adult (and finally advancing past the Gossamer boss battle) was an absolute blast. Great coverage as always, Sean!

[@RJBadman]

Goes to show what the absence of good marketing can do: I always thought this was basically Gex 3D with Wile E Coyote.

[@charlieunderwood2123]

Gex 3D is wacky and very fun tho

[@OddsTheo]

25:47 Eric Caspar, the friendly ghost-level and other levels music composer

[@StarkCraftsYT]

god the art style is so vibrant and accurate to the cartoon. overall underrated and beautiful. Amazing video as always ✨🙏

[@charlieunderwood2123]

The soundtrack of this game SLAPS 🔥

[@Melvinshermen]

Not the game itself, but the soundtrack. At the time of release, the funk/jazz styled soundtrack was touted as a negative in reviews for being unfitting for a Looney Tunes game. However, fans generally like the soundtrack for being well-composed and memorable and it's generally remembered as one of the positive aspects of the game. Which actually the best part because how it mostly don’t belong in Looney tunes games

[@svdden_dread]

Sean your videos give us life 😍

[@wysteria7917]

I completely forgot about this game. Definitely one of my all time favorites on the console, I have so many fond memories of my sister and I struggling to figure out how to beat each stage

[@300ZXCRAZE]

This video brought back so many memories of this game. I remember playing it on a ps1 demo and bugs bunny crazy castle was my favorite gameboy game, plus the soundtrack is great on it too. Great video man!

[@NirvanaPhoenix]

I remember getting this at launch as a kid and never got that far, but fancied popping it in and finishing it last year, and I'm so glad I did. The use of the licence, the genius puzzles and that damn MUSIC just make me smile. Glad you specifically focused on the ghost level theme, it's a beyond incredible piece of music.

[@philschundlemire9844]

You always outdo yourself Sean! I love my ps1 and these videos introduce me to plenty of games I've never heard of that are SO AWESOME 😄!

I remeber playing this game on a demo disc religiously! Now i really want to finally get the game and play it all! The rest of it just looks pure class!

[@Lefiath]

Never heard about the game, but I will be getting that soundtrack for sure. It's incredible.

[@DiddlyDiPotatoes]

I walked past this game in Blockbuster so many times as a kid and never picked it up, even though I already played and loved Bugs Bunny Lost in Time. I have heard great things about it over time, and yeah it does look pretty great. That space level music though oh my god.

[@Highretrogamelord]

I have heard of this game before but never played it and this is actually the first time I watch an in-depth review of this game, so thank you for that and being a really fun review to watch as well! 😁

[@va8157]

Dude thank you for introducing me to this game! There's so much obscure games on ps1 and ps2 but the ones from western devs are rarely being talked about.

[@vladv5126]

ah yes, the 90s and early 2000s, when you could ONLY have drum and bass music in films and games.

[@ItsNumber84]

Ahhh I love this game. And the music is amazing. Zilla (from the level with the boss fight) always felt so epic when I was a kid.

[@jewymcjewjew9939]

When Sean uploads, I drop whatever I'm doing that instant. I'm a crane operator, so this has gotten me in a few pickles.

[@diarmuid8188]

Watching this was my favourite way to start the Monday morning because this was one of the first games I ever played! I only remember the brilliant style and design (and how bad I was at it) so you better believe I'm tracking it down for that soundtrack and to finally beat it. Outstanding video as always!

[@andersdenkend]

Okay, I think I've watched all your videos now. Keep'em coming, my body is ready!

[@SeanSeanson]

Appreciate your commitment to the cause 🙏 New video coming ASAP!

[@simplesimonhadapie]

Love the liquid dnb on the ghost tune always a joy to watch Sean

[@SilverSoliloquy]

You love to see games that should be licensed shovelware that they phoned in, but the developers actually cared and put love and effort into.

[@AndoCommando82]

The single best joke I've ever seen in the game is the bit with the tunnel in the tutorial. It absolutely got me the first time even though I knew deep down what was going to happen. Absolutely brilliant!

[@acetrigger1337]

I still remember discovering this gem back in the day and me and my friend just thinking together to figure out all of the solutions.

[@bloodywolf9317]

Never heard of the characters before this but i think im gonna try hunt down the cartoon cause they really tickled me. Cheers for another great video Sean :)

[@Dandys11]

I love this game, soundtrack is really memorable, great review as always.

[@AVErsiv]

Dear Sir , once again This is one of my all time favorite games, i did finish it to 100% completion several times before and i will in th efuture. This is timeless game.

[@olivefuzzball5797]

We were totally on the same wave link about that soundtrack, It’s a total vibe! Also you’re making my TBP “to be played” list ever more expansive lol. Although that’s definitely not a bad thing as my news years goal is play 100 games to completion. Well not total just until the main scenario is over and the credits roll. Great video as always!

[@mariusz-845]

Love the old Infogrames games for PS1... Great video!

[@mysteriousbob]

Never played this but I always knew of it from gaming magazines when it released. The fact that the protagonist isn't Wile.E Coyote kind of blew my mind.

[@yuripulga]

One of the best soundtracks in games, included other music too, like beats from wu tang clan. One of the best games ever for sure, I remember spending hours with my brothers trying to figure the puzzles out... A true gem! PS: Don't enter the doors by their back.

[@DarthLee117]

A strange OST for a game like this still good all the same, also glad to see it's all on KZbin.

[@JimmyMcGinger]

This unlocked a memory for me. I had the demo when I was about 9 and I remember thinking how unique and clever the game was just from that. I never got the full game but now I'm tempted to try it out (not as tempted as I am by Community Pom, but they can both go on the list).

[@bluestarguardian7554]

We must be around the same age, Space Jam was my favorite movie for the longest time and also got me into a basketball phase for a minute as a child. I even played the Space Jam game in the computer lab at my school, wonder how different it is from the one you played. I first learned about this game through songs being on DNB mixes by channels like Camaz and ryland kurshenoff. Assumed game itself wasn't that great since licensed games aren't always the best. But happy I was looking through your channel and saw this because it not only has a banging ost but looks very fun. As a kid who mainly played Nintendo games and not much from ps1 I enjoy your vids a lot, thank you Sean Seanson for turning me onto a lot of gems!

[@fictionalmediabully9830]

I've yet to play this, but I have played both Bugs Bunny: Lost In Time, and Looney Tunes Racing to full completion. The former is an okay 3D platformer with a lot of great levels, but disappointingly is held back by clunky jumping and especially Spyro 2 inspired game design of wasting the player's time via constant backtracking and retreading of old ground, making for a game that starts great and ends well, but is just a chore to play during the middle portion. The latter is a decent kart racer that has aged better than Mario Kart 64, but lacks the substance and variety that made Diddy Kong Racing and Crash Team Racing the highly acclaimed games they were and still are. Overall, good children's games, but like the first Harry Potter game it doesn't take long for the cracks to start affecting the fun factor. I haven't played too much of Bugs and Taz, but from what I have it does feel better to play than Lost In Time, but the level design isn't as imaginative by comparison. I could be proven wrong later, but it's not exactly scratching the right areas like The Emperor's New Groove and Spyro 3 did the same year, though it's certainly more polished and less infuriating than Nasira's Revenge. Enjoying the video. I think I'll pick it up soon. In the meantime I'm just getting my hands on Hercules and Atlantis on PS1.

[@flariz4824]

Time Busters aged a *lot* better than Lost in Time. I tried both back then and I just couldn’t really stomach Lost in Time sadly despite all my nostalgia tied to it. Time Busters however is still perfectly playable and enjoyable to this day IMO.

[@cris5555]

I love this game! I played it when I was a kid and never finished it because I got stuck in a level, now that I grew up I picked it up again and finished it, there is a lot of levels I saw for the first time this time around so it felt new again

[@Oranalysis]

This game looks amazing! I love the art style, a lot of textures really hold up! Great video, dude!

[@Ikcatcher]

I remember playing this on the PS1 and my dad actually printing out an honest to god walkthrough just so we can progress

[@andrewlavigne44]

I feel like the 2001 release date really hurt this one and since there's no sequel it probably only sold modestly at best: the PS2 was available worldwide by the end of 2000 and even Sony's own Legend of Dragoon suffered for it getting overshadowed by releasing in NA only 2 months before the PS2's launch (and even later in EU, 2001!)

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

I was about to raise Hell if you talked trash about this game's soundtrack. Well done, giving everything its proper due.

[@mypalrobot]

Okay, gonna fire this up for sure. Great vid 👌

[@FICTiVETRUiSM]

Great video as always! Woah that soundtrack is superb! I do miss the PS1/ps2 era's licensed games. There are a lot of cool ones. And far too often they go overlooked or dismissed just because they are licensed games.

[@joedredd1168]

I remember playing this game constantly as a kid, I absolutely loved chasing Road Runner, it was like being in the cartoons. I also like it focused on a lesser known Looney Tunes character, Ralph Wolf.

[@klimmtjaques]

Thanks for the review, I will definitely have to add this game to my backlog.

[@doccatface6868]

I remember this game getting high praise when it dropped. Which always seemed odd to me because licensed games were already a renown dumpster fire at that point. Even the more jokey rags I read at the time gave it glowing remarks. I can see why now, a singularly focused game with a playful theme and a lot of soul. Shame I have to experience it late on an emulator, but better than never at all.

[@AngryDadGaming]

My very first _Looney Tunes_ game I ever got was _Bugs Bunny’s Birthday Bash._ That game was hard as hell, but was oddly fun. Always loved using the mallet on the enemies. I also remembered that “shift change/clocking out” joke, where they would sometimes even insert their ticket to get punched in a time clock. 😂 Nice channel, man. Enjoyed the commentary. 🤘

[@Cloudrim]

Loved this one as a kid, think I might still have the disc of the PC version somewhere. A real underrated gem, great to see it get some love. Also yeah the original cartoon shorts are excellent:)

[@kenpe1455]

[@sunderark]

Man I hope the developers for this game saw this video.

[@jeffvenancius]

I've first played this one on a demo disc, it blew my mind being one of the few with portuguese localization .

[@MrWumbologist]

My brother and I got this game when we were kids, and I remember thinking that it would be one of those boring based-on-a-movie-or-tv-show games that you would give up within an hour but bought because you recognized the characters. We were dead wrong, and this was our favorite game on the console

[@GabrielPhelanLucas]

Recall playing this as a kid, not sure if I had the game or a demo. What I didn't recall was dat banging OST! This is why I game music is the best music #Changemymind.

[@BobExcalibur]

Your channel is absolutely wonderful mate.

[@SeanSeanson]

Appreciate the kind words friend! 🙏

[@HappyMan0203]

I'm convinced this game was the origin for my love of electronic music given how young I was when I played it.

[@prutikLive]

The pc version had som big black outlines around the characters,i like the ps1 look more.Thank you for covering this timeless gem.

[@EggmanDrCuckooMan]

Rewatching this and I forgot how simultaneously hilarious and incredible the contrast is between the game pretty much 100% nailing the Looney Tunes vibes and the game pairing this with goddamn drum and bass. The fact that said drum and bass is so top-class just makes it funnier, like they just made this absolutely bizarre choice and just made it work by sheer virtue of Caspar bringing his A-game to it. I wouldn't have it any other way. (Also, revisiting this made me realize the ghost level song is used in Ring Racers - I forget which level exactly, but just goes to show how damn good that track is.)

[@TheParody10]

I remember i was terrified of being caught by the sheep dog as a dumb kid :0

[@chinabluewho]

People may be off put by the graphics and jankyness of this game but I can tell you that when the PS1 came out it was literally mind blowing, a game station that could play music CDs and real 3d graphics , wowzers ! Just a decade before this people were still using the NES and I still was using this as the SNES was not that much of an improvement and I didn't see a reason to get rid of my NES as Kirby, DR Mario, Super Mario, link, Metal Gear, zelda, Megaman, Punchout, Qix , TMNT, Paperboy, Castlevania, Tetris (tengen version is best version), Ghosts and Goblins, Klax, Jackle, Contra and many, many others I still played frequently and you could get the games reasonably cheap plus all of the older games from arcades and other consoles like Atari-Intellivision-Coleco were being ported to the NES. I wanted so badly for the 3 Dungeons and Dragons games from the Intellivison to be ported to the NES .

[@Heaaaps]

Very faithful to the source material tbf. I actually preferred the ralf wolf episodes with bugs bunny in them than the road runner ones for wile coyote!

[@SeanSeanson]

VERY faithful. Clear the people behind the game were big fans.

[@rickarddoo]

As I found out this channel and binge watch the japan and the west obscure series I always wondered myself if you'd ever talk about this one, what a good surprise chekcing the older videos and found this. Really love this game, as a kid this was kinda hard but one of the most fun experiences I had in PS1. btw , 18:15 It's not that the criteria is inconsistent, the criteria isn't properly explained, the hint only points you in the right direction. You only stun the boss if you spin anti-clockwise.

[@Steadysphere]

Have heard a ton of good things about this one, looks incredibly fun and worthwhile! (Well, except from Gamespot, who gave it 5.7 the stingy gits). Great coverage good sir, would definitely be interested to hear more about your thoughts on the Looney Toons PS1 titles 👀 Didn't realise there was so many! (Knew of Lost in Time, but a friend scared me off that one as he said it's pretty poor)

[@SeanSeanson]

If you can get it for a decent price definately take a chance on it! I'd say all the infogrames looney tunes games are worth a punt. Kart Racer is a fun time. I think Lost in Time is probably the weakest but it's still a solid mid-tier mascot platformer IMO. Time Busters is probably the best traditional platformer. The fact you can play the entire game in co-op made it one of the most memorable games of the era for me, still not that many other 3D platformers that let you do that.

[@InsidiousOne]

@@SeanSeanson I gotta disagree. Time Busters is a fine game, but it is leaning into the puzzle/platformer territory, Lost in Time is way more fun as a platformer experience. Sure, it's easy, but it's a kids game first. Also, Lost in Time's visuals are so vibrant and colorful, Time Busters feels like a downgrade - it feels muted and generally less cartoony.

[@SeanSeanson]

@@InsidiousOne thats ok, if I had the same opinion as everybody the videos wouldn't be very interesting. Also I havnt played those games since I was a child, so maybe a renewed adult perspective might change things around :)

Warner bros cartoons is very popular in 90s i remenber view a tv show with this characters.

[@Armm8991]

wow i forgot about this game... as a kid i tried many times to get into it, and while i loved it every time, i guess my bad attention span at the time prevented me from making it past the 3rd level lol I will definitely keep it on the back of my mind now and try it out sometime!

[@SeanSeanson]

It's surprisingly tough and level 3 is one of the biggest difficulty spikes, so I bet you weren't the only one to struggle with it! 😅

[@BrazenScull]

I’m baffled, honestly. The internet seems to look upon this game with the same sort of scorn as Gex or a billion other daft mascot pretenders. I can only assume they judged it by the title and never actually played it. I had a PSX from release, right up until it was discontinued, and this game was one of the most memorable I ever played. It’s superb.

[@Dogeloper505]

Did you ever played bubsy 3D? Is a really good game, if a was you i would totally play this game Hehehe

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

I've played it to full completion about five times. It's a good effort for one of the first 3D platformers, but to say it has aged poorly would be an understatement.

[@MakopoweredGaming]

I do remember at the time thinking this was a cheap licensed cash grab, considering when it came out and who published it, but I'm glad it's getting a sort of second life nowadays! Also, also, hear me out: yeah, the minigames and, well, production values sucked, but the actual basketball in Space Jam was basically NBA Jam, just with cartoon sprites.

[@SeanSeanson]

Ah yeah playing Basketball in Space Jam is at least still a fun time, its just like a very very barebones version of NBA jam, with a bunch of minigames that you wish weren't there. Although it's not like the Tune Squad and Monstars played in more than one location in the movie, so at least its a somewhat faithful adaptation in that regard 😅

[@fictionalmediabully9830]

Second Comment: I've recently revisited the PS1 Looney Tunes games, though I've still yet to play 'Sheep Dog & Wolf'. Playing these games has been rather underwhelming. I still stand by what I said about 'Bugs Bunny Lost In Time' and 'Looney Tunes Racing' only now the poor design choices of the former are problematic enough to ruin most of the fun factor, and the latter has barely any content to the point it becomes forgettable after two hours. Bugs & Taz I've played more than half of as of now, and it's not doing anything for me. It feels much better to play than its predecessor, and I didn't come across any padding that's potentially game breaking so far, but so much of the levels just boil down to roaming around flat and empty environments that don't scale well with the movement speed of the main duo, and the challenges themselves are very basic and sometimes hardly interesting, like pushing blocks in their rightful places. For everything I don't like about Lost In Time, the levels generally did a good job engaging the player with snappy and well paced obstacle challenges, making even the most basic ones an amusing distraction. I don't want to take your potential love for the game away, since that would be condescending of me to do, but playing games like this can make my general love for collectathon-action-platformers look questionable, which is only proven wrong upon replaying one that's genuinely fun like Mario 64, Spyro 3, Banjo Kazooie, or the Pixar movie tie-in games by Traveller's Tales. Hopefully 'Sheep Dog & Wolf' can be to PS1 Looney Tunes what Warped was to Crash Bandicoot. Provide a fun, captivating and potentially innovative experience that avoids the trappings of its predecessors. Seeing as it's made by a different developer, and considering A2M's next game was the terrible PS1 Monsters Inc. game, I have my hopes up this will be good. Oh, and this video is still entertaining despite having already seen it before.

[@stolensentience]
