Previously available only on the web, the family-friendly, massively multiplayer game, Disney’s Toontown Online, is slated to be launched for PC this fall by Sony Online Entertainment’s Platform Publishing. Through its agreement with Disney Online, in association with Buena Vista Games, Platform Publishing has also secured a license to also create a version of Toontown specifically for online-enabled video game consoles.
Currently accessible at www.toontown.com, Disney’s Toontown Online is ever-evolving virtual world where players create their own cartoon characters and join forces to save the world from the Cogs, humorless business robots bent on turning the colorful, happy world of Toontown into a dark metropolis of corporate monotony. Designed primarily for kids 8-12, the game has achieved popularity among all ages and received multiple kudos, including a 2003 Parent’s Choice award and the 2005 WiredKids Safe Gaming Award.
The PC retail version will come with a CD-Rom, a game manual, a Cog poster and access to a bonus in-game item. The release is rated E for Everyone (cartoon violence and mischief) and will carry a suggested retail price of $19.99, which includes a two-month subscription to the game service.
