Timeless classic of Christmas, year 2005. Everybody and their mums were playing on their shiny Ps2 libraries while I was blowing dust out of my older brother's grey brick. To me this game means a lot, being probably one of the first games I ever played, and coming back to it I felt a bit of dread: what if I had bad taste?!
Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time is not a bad game at all! Its controls can feel a bit outdated and some levels are a bit frustrating but the fun and chaotic mess of a Bugs Bunny cartoon is captured in its truest form by this collectathon, almost entirely voice acted (take that, gaming year of 2023! Bugs Bunny did it first!). One of my most cherished memories was playing the snow level in the Medieval world and talking about school with my mother present in the room.
At the same time, it's a bit janky. As I said, the controls aren't the best and thankfully Bugs will automatically jump when running towards a cliff, so that you can correct the course. Meanwhile, some levels like the car chase, the trolly level and most of the space era ones can feel like you cannot control the bunny. Time and again, by trial and error, I was able to finish and 100% the game, at time needing to go back to older levels just to collect all golden carrots. I was greeted by a warm, orange tinted screen, telling me Bugs was finally able to go to the beach.
When you're a kid, you don't know you're making memories, you're just having fun. This game, Digimon World, Spyro, just to name a few, have made me reminisce the old times, when me, my brother and my sister were spending time together.
I am calling both of them, right after I'm done writing. Visiting the past is lonely business, you may be mentally there but no one else is; reminiscing together instead is a fun and warm activity. We may live in different cities and live different lives, but we have in common all the good fun we had.
