Toontown Online: MMORPG.com Exclusive Review

Garrett Fuller played Toontown Online during December. This review considers the game largely in how it should be scored by its target audience: children. Although, Garrett also notes how adults are likely to find the experience.
;) One of the great parts of Toontown is that the characters begins with so much. You start with an estate which will include the houses of all your characters on the account. This is fun for players to go to and rest up, gathering ice cream cones to restore Laff points for healing. Also, you can customize your house with new catalogs that come every now and then. The ponds outside your estate offer a private fishing zone for players to enjoy. It is a great solo area for players to get comfortable with the game. Unlike other MMORPGs the player starts with all these elements already in tact. There is no grind to buy them or a fight with other players over prime real estate. Another item you can buy right at the beginning of the game is a Race Cart for Goofys Speedway. You even have a few tickets for a small customization of it. This allows the player to start right in on all the action. Whether it is racing or Trolley Games or fighting Cogs the tutorial is easy and the game gets you started right away. |

ooooold news, disney entered into the MMORPG market a long time ago.
But nevertheless, an entertaining review
I actually consider ToonTown Online one of the most fun and innovative mmorpgs on the market presently. I was turned onto it by Richard Garriot in an interview he did where he said ToonTown was his favorite and after trying the game I have to agree. Sure the turn based cog fighting can get old, but the multi-player minigames are fun enough to play over and over again with your buds. And even though it is a kids game I have to say there were many moments where I lol'd at the humor. I'd reccomend this one to anybody who, like me, has tried just about every major mmorpg at one time or another and ended up getting bored of the endless grinding after only a month or two of play.
Big innovation and big fun from a very unlikely source. There is a free trial with no credit card required. Give it a try!
