Great game for cartoon/adventure fans

This isn't a 'rosy glasses' review since I played this for the first time in 2019. Apparently a game from the 90's that I somehow missed back then. This is a great adventure game back when they were the most popular genre and that can be seen from the production values. Are adventure games now mainly made by fans or small companies, back then they received relatively large budgets and that can be seen from the famous actors that 'played' in them. This is one of those games and one of the better adventures I played. No timed stuff, no pixel hunting (there was one place where it was a bit hard to find the correct place (in the bathroom)). It has a lot of cartoony animations. The game is a combination of real actors (mainly Christopher Loyd) and animations. Obviously since the game is old the graphics has suffered a bit. It is no pixel art but there are of course two black bands on the side of the game and I think the resolution is 640x480. Still the animations itself look actualy great. I used a walkthrough 2 or 3 times (I don't have the patience anymore I used to have back in the days :-) ). It is like playing in a cartoon, so if you would like to play in that I still would recommend the game even if the graphics are a little dated.

I still own the CD-ROMs.

That alone should be enough to throw a few bucks at this amazing production. (Who knows? Perhaps the rights holders will let Toonstruck 2 out of captivity? YES, that exists. Made back to back, but the first flopped, despite being a gem! The sequel is still in game limbo!)

Still one of the best

Just image what the developers did back in the old century. We are taking about times where win95 was new and fancy. That's were I first bought this game. And 20 years later I can not help remembering the 2 cows in the barn. So I simply had to play it again. Some features from by point: - one of the first games with spoken audio. - Cutscenes with real actors paired with animated ones. - good story with no bugs or glitches. - detailed scenes with animations everywhere - And that all for < 1GB. The guys knew how to program... The game is fun to play. Ok, at some points I have to admit that I needed to do try-and-error. The solutions are sometimes too freaky. Thanks for making it possible to relive old memories...

Fantastic game design

I was avoiding this game for a long time, thinking of it as a "kids' game," until I recently read someone's very positive opinion on reddit and decided to give it a shot. Now, I'm very glad I did. In terms of point-and-click adventure game design, Toonstruck is close to perfection—really top-notch. Except for a few slightly random ones (or maybe I missed the hints), puzzles are extremely clever and well done. They're not frustrating and not too easy, but hard enough to provide satisfaction. In two words: just right. Objectives are usually pretty clear, but how to achieve them might be tricky. However, when you deduce the solution, you'll be amazed at how cool and clever it is. Puzzles are logical, but occasionally may require thinking in a cartoon world's logical way. And the game's world is packed with those puzzles at almost every step. It looks silly and like a game for kids, but the more you play, the more you realize it really isn't the case—at least not entirely. There is enough intelligent, absurd, and occasionally even dark humor to please adult audiences. Hell, there are even sexual or quite disturbing undertones (the infamous sheep and cow leather couple in their S&M dungeon... I mean, barn, would be the most peculiar one). Heavily recommended for anyone who likes point-and-clicks with great puzzles, lots of humor, and is open to some cartoonish silliness. A solid level of English proficiency is advisable, though, as the final puzzle of the first act is based on English idioms. I don't know how it was resolved in translated versions to make any sense.

Overlooked it back when. Loving it now!

I pointedly ignored this game back in the day. I was an idiot. This came out in the dark days when point-and-click adventure games were dying and full-motion-video games were desperately trying to be a thing. Based on the box art, I foolishly assumed "Toonstruck" was another FMV embarrassment like Rob Schneider's "A Fork in the Tale" or "Ripper" (featuring Christopher Walken's only truly bad performance). I feared it was a shabby "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" ripoff. I was so very wrong. This was no cheap cash-grab production. If you are a fan of animation and the pantheon of cartoon voice actors that rose up in the 90s, you will appreciate the amount of work that went into this game. I had never seen footage or a screenshot of this game, so my 2019 playthrough was completely fresh. I was instantly on board and chuckled from start to finish. Christopher Lloyd's green-screen sequences are absolutely charming, and the writing and performances are legitimately funny. This game should be appreciated with the adventure game greats of old instead of being relegated to a gaming history footnote.
