Going to the PC, we have "Animaniacs: Splat Ball!", made by Southpeak in 1999. This is a bit different from the platformers before, but now in a good way. It's an overhead shooter, with the Warners vs. Ralph, Plotz and Scratchnsniff in a fight for the Splatball crown.
-
It's a more fun game than the last ones, no big plot or story this time around, just good ol' versus action. The goal here is to beat the different leagues with differing AI skill levels and game modes. The control is again slow, but it feels a bit better, and the graphics are nice and appealing. The music is really weird though, instead of quirky and silly, it's a bit orchestral and actiony instead. It's a bit interesting though, and makes things more intense.

The main objective, as the Warners, is to beat the other three on your opponent's team without getting splatted yourselves, along with other objectives and game modes like "Capture the Balloon". You can take up to 6 hits, then you switch to another Warner while they recover, to which all three play the same and can use the same powerups and weapons. If all three Warners are beaten, it's game over. The good news though, is that given enough time, the defeated Warner sibling can be revived to full health. But again, if all three are defeated before they can be revived, it's all over.
-
There's not really a whole lot to say, it's a fun game with some of the same voices from the show, you could even say it was like a predecessor to Splatoon in a way. If you like splatting Plotz, Scratchnsniff and Ralph in a good game of Splatball for a crown showing how awesome you are, then this is for you. It's one of the better, albeit shorter games than most, if you prefer a fun Animaniacs game with no plot this time. Multiplayer has some of the same game modes, but it's online and you can pick your characters, but that's about it.
There wasn't really too much to say, but this next one has a lot more to it.
