Looney Tunes Wacky World of Sports Review Cons:

The music is very grating and repetitive and you notice it more in the slower games like Golf.
You cannot remap the controls.
No online modes or multiplayer.
Doesn’t have any online interactions at all.
It’s not the original voices, more an FYI.
The controls are very sluggish and loose, it’s more of an issue for games like tennis, and football.
Football is one of the worst games in the series as the controls as mentioned are not great, and the goalkeepers are very inconsistent.
The AI no matter the difficulties will always be cheap and able to stay on top most of the time.
No camera choices.
Being able to see where your character is or who you are in a game is hard as it’s just a small P1 etc above their heads.
Missed a trick not having any references to Space Jam or the Monstars.
The Golf game doesn’t really use physics or momentum so the ball doesn’t roll down hills etc.
