Who Framed Roger Rabbit has above average graphics and sound for what some gamers expected from Acclaim/LJN label. Yet, their are enemies that need to be defeated with weapons, tricky jumps to perform and the final boss is probably one of the hardest bosses in the 8-bit world. This can be dull to gamers not interested in graphic adventure/role playing games. Much of the game is spent explore the city and solving puzzles by talking with various people and locating items. While it is possible to combine the two types of gaming, the common result is to create a game that ends up alienating fans of both genres. Yet, action based platormers require not just fast thumbs but the ability to make tricky jumps or aim weapons. Traditionally, graphic adventure games/role playing games do not require you to be fast with your thumbs. The game suffers from a classic fault with all games that attempt to combine the more intellectual genre of adventure gaming with the fast thumbs world of an action based platformer.

Should the Weasels appear in an area with you however (with an alarm sounding as they get close), Roger will go bug-eyed and try to run away. That means for most of the gameplay, he will be ignored. Except for these Weasels (and birds flying overhead), Roger is more or less invincible as a toon. Your job is to search the city for clues, items and punchlines to jokes which will be your only defense should the Weasels catch up to poor Roger. You play this game as the Private Investigator, Eddie Valliant, while Roger Rabbit wanders around the scenery behind you.

Together they'll need to search through Hollywood, Toontown, the Wilderness and Toontown in an effort to find the pieces to Marvin's original will and stop the evil Judge Doom and his henchmen, the Weasels. In order to clear his name, Roger has enlisted the help of Eddie Valliant, no-nonsense detective. But he didn't do it and now there seems to be some kind of mystery surrounding Marvin Acme's last will and testament. Obviously this kind of affair is enough to drive a man, or rabbit, into killing. The motive is that his wife, Jessica Rabbit had been photographed playing patty-cake with him. Roger Rabbit's, a living breathing cartoon, has been framed for the murder of Marvin Acme.
