Star Studded Cast; break a leg.
By all merits, this is a game. Completable, and maybe there's a joke or two that still lands. To many, the mid 90s was considered the nadir of multimedia; relaxing standards resulted in a glut of shameless content upon reflection. Violent, overmuscled, crude, downpunching humor was often the order of the day. Toonstruck has a stellar cast, of which I wonder how they managed to get roped into the project in the first place. The plot is a standard "Straight man in ToonLand wants out", with the typical pitfalls of the era: Some of the most wretched cartoon trollop & tropes of the 1990s. Camp characters, awful visual puns, casual 90's racism, grossout humor, depictions of S&M which lead back into grossout, and contemporary comedic commentary that no longer makes any sense are all present here, and worse. All in all, combined with the moon logic sense of puzzle solving, an obnoxious world and annoying backtracking, leads to Toonstruck scraping the bottom of the game design barrel. Toonstruck is not fundamentally broken. But I would score it the absolute minimum above that. It treats humor as something to be stretched on a rack and overexplained until it breaks the joke apart by snapping it.
