Product Description

Created especially for kids 8-12, but enjoyed by all who are young at heart. Players are Toons who join forces to save the world from Cog's, humorless business robots who are attempting to turn the colorful, happy world of Toontown into a dark metropolis of corporate monotony. Because Cogs can't take a joke, Toons use their favorite weapon-humor-to save their world.

ToonTown: Great ONLINE game for Kids as well as Adults
I have been playing ToonTown Online for close to 2 years now. A co-worker got me hooked on it after her child got her hooked on it after seeing a commerical for it on The Disney Channel. Yes, it is an online game (hence the name ToonTown Online) and it very specifically indicates on the packaging that a recurring fee is necessary to play it after the initial 2 month game time has expired. The game is downloadable from the ToonTown website and the retail version is NOT a necessity to have. The game is a HUGE download and the CD is great to have if you have dial-up internet access like I do.

As for play value, it is great. I have 2 active toons (you can have 6) on my account that I play on a regular basis. Yes, it is geared towards kids but many of the players I encounter are adults that were hooked by their children. It is safe for kids as there are pre-made phrases that you use for your toon to communicate with other toons. There is the option for real-life players to "code" with each other so they can speak freely with each other. Even with the free speech being available, it is heavily filtered for bad language. I have tested many different "bad" words in various spellings and even inserted spaces and other characters to attempt to get it to let it come across but it won't. Kudos to Disney for being proactive in anticipating what lengths some people will go to spoil kid fun.
The concept of the game is not different than any other MMOG like EverQuest, Final Fantasy etc. You are given quests to complete for jellybeans (money), gags (weapons) and laff boosts (strength). The only difference is that this game is designed for children.

It is well worth the $10 a month and the game is always expanding. Since I have been playing there have been 2 major updates and a 3rd is scheduled for sometime in April or May, giving toons an additional neighborhood/Cog HQ to play in with new tasks and rewards.

Happy Tooning.

Great game for kids and family
This is defintilly a fun game who cares if you have to pay $10:00 a month it's worth it. Toontown is a great online game whare you create your owen toon and then go do toontask to upgrade you toons. The newset toon to toontown is Bear who got choosen by the toons to beacome the new toon species. I wanted Pig to win. But it's not all fun and games beacuse evil robots called cogs are attacking toontown and it's up to you to stop them. The only way to deafeat them is to use gags like pies,marbels,pianos,thunder clouds etc. It's also 100% safe and your toons can't chat with other toons but thare is a speed chat to say safe things. You can chat with toons you know in real life by giveing you friend a code and then entering it. But watch out for any toontown fan sites. On these site you uselly got to chat rooms and ask pepole that you don't know to beacome your secret friends or join a club and chat about things you like about toontown.These sites are not made by disney so they are not 100% safe makeing toontown a little unsafe. Anyway the newset place in toontown is Goffy Speedway whare you go and buy cars and then race agenist other toons just in december goffy speedway got updated and got 3 new corses and on mondays. You can go thare and go in special races. Toontown also always throws contest to win prizes but uselly the players that play all day win them but not always. Thare is also a top toons board whare it shows the top players of everyday. Toontown is a super fun game for you kids and family this is a number 1 game and even got the award for best game of 2003. I hope you buy toontown too.

Everything Needed To Know About Toontown
Hi. I have this game and it's SO fun! Here is a list of things you can do on ToonTown.

1. Make your very own toon. Make up to 6 of them!

2. Make friends! Everyone on ToonTown is so nice! You can chat with your friends, but it won't let you say any bad things.

3. Play games on the trolley! Win jellybeans! (jellybeans are known as 'money' on ToonTown.)

4. Do Awesome Toontasks! And if you complete the tasks, you win cool stuff! (not real life things, only items on ToonTown, such as laffboosts. Laffboosts help you get stronger.)

5. Beat those cogs! Cogs are big weird looking robots that are trying to take over the world of ToonTown. They can't take a joke, so the people of ToonTown make pranks on them!

6. Race! You can race your friends. You buy your own car just how you want it, and then you go to the racing area and begin the race!

7. Make your own house! You can design your house, buy furniture using the phone in the house, and you can even make your own garden.

8. Fish! You can fish for strange creatures. There are puppy dog fish, cat fish, (the cat fish have faces like cats!) nurse sharks (which are dressed like nurses) Clown fish (i think you know what they look like) and much more! Then go sell the fish for jellybeans!

9. Adopt a Doodle! A Doodle is a pet that looks kind of like a dog. They come in different colors, shapes, and sizes. Take one home, feed it, play with it, and love it. They help you in battle if you call for them!

10. Enter Contests! You can enter contests like Fishing contests and win THE BEST prizes EVER.

11. Buy clothes! You can buy super cute clothes for your toon.

12. ToonTown is always decorated for holidays, and they get new items that are like the holiday. (say it's halloween, there would be stores with pumpkins, scary wall paper, etc.) Never want to miss it!

13. Completely safe. You don't have to worry about anything, Moms and Dads.

14. But the only bad thing is the screen is SO bright it starts to hurt your eyes....

15. Change the view of your character by hitting the Tab button on your keyboard.

16. Have fun!!!!!!

I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. Please give it a chance you'll love it!
