A reasonably good game, considering the sporadic quality regarding games based on pre-existing IPs back then. Buster Busts Loose is a really neat platformer that tried to ride the line of speed and careful control.

Something that holds it back, in my opinion--and something the devs couldn't help--is the fact that it's not in widescreen. Unlike Sonic, the design makes way for points where you can't react quickly enough to what's coming, so the game feels unfair more often than the more well-known blue blur of the gamingsphere.

Regardless, it feels pretty good to play and satisying to see they kind of gave a shit when it came to providing a challenging game for Tiny Toons fans. I also like how a decent chunk of the game is locked out if you choose Easy difficulty.
