The installation of Nickelodeon Toon
Twister 3-D was a breeze and it simple auto-installed when the CD was
detected by the computer and a few minutes later, we were ready to make
our very Nickelodeon cartoons. The interface of Toon Twister 3-D is
extremely easy to use and children around of all ages will have no
problem in mastering this software package.
To simply create your own cartoon, all you need to do is pick the
backgrounds, characters and sound effects that is only limited by your
imagination, so hours of fun is guaranteed for your children. The title
is basically divided into three different categories that includes a
prep, direct and edit page.
The prep page or preparation page basically lets you select what
characters, backgrounds and props you need for your Nickelodeon
animation. This is also the section where you add timing and actions to
your characters. The interface is really a WYSIWYG interface that is
just a point and a click.
The direct page or director's page lets you animate each character via a
timeline and also allows the child to add sounds and voices, even their
own sounds and voices. Younger children may find this section a little
confusing but with parental assistance, they will have a blast. Finally
the edit page which basically puts on the finishing touches on your
cartoon such as titles and credits to give it that real professional
finish.
Graphically, Nickelodeon Toon Twister 3-D is a visual treat on the PC
and looks almost identical to the cartoon series and with such low
computer specs, this game is guaranteed to run on most computers. The
sound effects and voices have also been professional taken from the
cartoon shows but it would of been nice to have a small microphone
included so that children could easily record their own voices straight
out of the box. However for the price, you can't really complain!
In conclusion, Nickelodeon Toon Twister 3-D is a perfect program to keep
children busy on hours upon hours that is not only entertaining but also
educational. Great work by Scholastic!
