The game features both single player and two-player cooperative play. Gameplay is similar to many platform games including combat, puzzle solving and vehicle-based levels.

The game received "generally unfavorable" reviews, according to video game review score aggregator Metacritic.[3][4][5] GamePro, however, said that the Xbox 360 version "isn't as fun or as inventive as Lego Star Wars but it is an interesting introduction to the Looney Tunes world and further proof that the characters have retained their ability to charm and entertain. Here's hoping that this title helps turn another generation onto the wonders of the magical and timeless Looney Tunes cartoons."[18][a]
