Description
<i>Toonstruck</i> is a point-and-click adventure in the style of Monkey Island. It uses a one-icon system, and the protagonist is a motion-captured actor against an animated environment.<br><br>Like an adventure game in the Roger Rabbit style. Drew Blanc, the main character, is played by Christopher Lloyd, whom you may know as the professor in <i>Back to the Future</i> and Fester in <i>The Addams Family</i> movies. He ventures through the animated world consisting of very weird cartoon characters. The land is being overrun by an evil doctor, and you, as Drew, must stop him.
Review
★★★★★
<p>I’m not sure if I can say enough good things about this game, but I’m going to start doing these reviews more using a rubric, so here we go:</p><p><br></p><p>Graphics: The animated style was great and the integration of live action and animation worked very will in the title. This game feels almost ahead of its time from a graphic perspective. 5/5</p><p>Story/Acting: The story is interesting and intriguing, though obviously far fetched and wacky. Other than Ben Stein, the acting as fantastic. 4.5/5</p><p>Puzzle/Gameplay: The puzzle were, for the most past, logical and easy to understand once you had all of the pieces. While I did need to use a few hints, I never feel like any puzzle was moon logic or unsolvable without hints. The game interface was minimal and worked well. 5/5</p><p>Music/Sound: The sound was cartoony and the music was decent. 4/5</p><p>Personal Slant: I enjoyed this game and would put it on my top 10 games. I would recommend this game to anyone looking for a comedic point-and-click adventure game. 5/5</p>
