Sony Online Entertainment's Platform Publishing and Disney Online in association with Buena Vista Games announced an agreement that is scheduled to bring "Disney's Toontown Online," the first massively multiplayer online (MMO) game designed for kids and families, to retail stores this Fall.
The family-friendly online title will carry an MSRP of $19.99, which includes a two-month subscription to the game service. Additionally, Platform Publishing has secured a license to also create an online version of "Toontown" specifically for
video game consoles.
Team up with thousands of players for fun gags and exciting games in "Disney's Toontown Online." "Disney's Toontown Online" (www.toontown.com) is an award-winning multiplayer online game filled with non-stop play, ever- changing adventure and irreverent fun. Players create their own cartoon characters (Toons) and join forces to save the world from the Cogs, humorless business robots who are attempting to turn the colorful, happy world of Toontown into a dark metropolis of corporate monotony. It's always growing, always changing and a wild world of cartoon adventures.
The PC retail version of "Disney's Toontown Online" will come with CD-Rom, game manual and a Cog poster in the box, along with access to a bonus in-game item.
"Toontown" has been designed primarily for children ages 8 to 12, but is enjoyed by kids of all ages. Player feedback reveals that many families are playing the game together, with parents enjoying the game as much as their children. Unique in the game industry, players are evenly split between boys and girls. "Toontown" has received multiple awards, including Computer Gaming World's MMORPG of the Year in 2003, a 2003 Parent's Choice award, and the 2005 WiredKids Safe Gaming Award.
"Toontown Online" is rated E for Everyone (cartoon violence and mischief) by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, and carries a monthly subscription fee of $9.95.
