KidConfidence Video Review for ToonTown Online

Posted in Video Game Reviews by Thomas on the April 30th, 2007

ToonTown Online is a massively multiplayer online game designed for kids ages 7 and older.

The game let’s players create their own Toon, who then join forces to save the world from the invading robot Cogs - humorless business robots who are attempting to turn the colorful, happy world of ToonTown into a corporate metropolis. Because Cogs can’t take a joke, Toons use cartoon gags to crack them up! Or in other words “blow” them up in a cartoonish non-violent way. A unique feature of ToonTown is that random Players can team up with each other to defeat stronger Cogs. The game is graphically the most appealing of all children friendly online games available at the writing of this review. (KidConfidence does not consider World of Warcraft aka WoW a children game…) The game offers all features we come to expect from online games such as furnishing estates, adopting a pet and the use of in-game currency to purchase items of interest. ToonTown Online let’s all players chat using pre-made sentences. The True Friends feature of the game enables players to chat openly with True Friends. Players can set this up with your “real-life” friends so they can talk online. A True Friend Code is requested from the Friends/True Friends panel in the game. This password must be communicated outside of the game (to ensure safety). Once the password has been generated in-game and delivered to friend A, it must be entered in-game by friend B within 48 hours or the password will expire. Each password is unique and can be used with only 1 friend.

ToonTown is free with limited functuality and not all areas are available. At any time players can purchase full access to the game on monthly (30 days for $9.95), semi-annual (6 months for $49.95), or annual (12 months for $79.95) subscription plan.

In our opinion, ToonTown Online is the best of all children themed massively multiplayer online games available today.

   WARNING TO PARENTS – AVOID A YEAR’S WORTH OF DAILY ARGUMENT – DON’T BUY TOONTOWN FOR YOUR CHILD!!!!!

   As the parent of a (too) dedicated Toontown player, I STRONGLY recommend that you do NOT purchase this game for your child.
   No, it is not violent. But it appears to be deliberately ‘sticky’ – there is no way for a player to pause his/her involvement in the game, and the sections of ‘tasks’ which garner points and/or rewards take a very long time to complete. The combination of these two elemente mean that your child will strongly resist logging off (particularly at a set time, or for a set event) because to do so would mean he will ‘lose’ his accumulated credits and/or ‘abandon’ his friends in the middle of an activity.
   Getting your child to pause for chores, scheduled practices, homework etc. becomes a constant argument, as he is bought into the game’s ‘culture’.

   The game looks innocuous but it is NOT – BEWARE.
