Toonstruck

Toonstruck is a lavishly produced adventure game built around a wonderfully strange premise: a live-action character finds himself trapped inside a cartoon world that desperately needs his help. Christopher Lloyd plays Drew Blanc, a cartoon creator suffering from a serious case of creative frustration, and his trip into the animated realm quickly becomes considerably more complicated. The game mixes traditional point-and-click exploration with cartoon absurdity, eccentric characters, elaborate locations, and puzzles that occasionally seem to have been designed after a very long lunch. Its humor is broad but often genuinely clever, while the hand-drawn visuals give everything a colorful Saturday-morning-cartoon feel. Drew's reluctant partnership with a cheerful animated companion adds even more personality to the journey. Toonstruck is particularly memorable because it commits completely to its bizarre premise, creating a world where logic is optional, jokes are everywhere, and common sense has apparently been declared illegal.
