【Gamematch3's Review】

Although this game share some key features of its series, Toca Life: After School does seem to offer a couple of more interactive elements than some other titles in this same series. This game allows kids to do a lot of things including painting, creating music, handling a basketball through a hoop and keeping a track of points, or even sending a skateboarder down to a half pipe, just to name a few. These small opportunities make a big difference because they factually enhance the extracurricular events in the clubhouse to be more attractive and interactive. Admittedly, the fact that this game holds a virtual world where players don’t have the privilege of the otherwise limitless possibilities in a conventional realistic play. Therefore, this game can’t completely replace the day-to-day after-school activities kids participate. In those real events, children are not necessarily constrained by what the game developers and programers have pre-set into the gameplay. Other than that, for some players on certain devices, it might be occasionally difficult to control the tiny pieces on the game interface. This might be even more so for kids whose ability of control hasn’t been fully developed yet. Another nice touch of the game is the option for recording which is a fun way for kids to retell, save, and share their stories over time, with more people.
