Toontown Online (PC Games, 2005)

If you are looking for a safe on-line playing environment for your kids, this is it. Unless you are "special friends", you only can say a set amount of phrases to other players as you take on COGS, play trolley games, or fish for hard to catch species.

Creating your character is lots of fun. You can create a rabbit, mouse, horse, dog, cat or monkey. You pick out if your character will be a boy or a girl and can change your characters looks and color. We have many different charcters including a girl lavender rabbit, a girl green duck, and a boy red monkey.

COGS are serious business guys and they go around toontown trying to rain on the toons parade. You can send them back to whence they came with a few well placed gags. You start off with a few gags in your arsenol, but learn more as you progress.

You also start out with a small amount of laugh points... if you lose them all in your battle with the COGS you will be sent back to the playground in a SAD state. You will slowly regain your laugh points and be ready once again to go out into the world.

Characters in the game give you tasks and as you complete them you learn more gags, earn more laugh points and earn more jellybeans. With the jellybeans you can by some pretty cool furniture for your house (every toon has one), different phrases, different actions (like shrugging), and new clothes.

They have also added a race track if you are into cars. You can win races and earn tickets which can be used to trick out your car, or even buy upgraded race cars.

We have 2 accounts so family members can play together. To continue playing there is a reasonable monthly fee.
