Toca Band 

 

Toca Band is an app on the iPhone/iPod Touch platform. In this app children can learn about music with some unique characters. This is the first time Family Friendly Gaming is being exposed to the Toca Boca franchise. The characters are distinctive. All of the characters in Toca Band seem to be happy which is a really good thing.

There are bright colors in Toca Band. All of these characters stick out. We have a couple of screens to interact with in Toca Band. We pick characters from the bottom row and put them on pedestals. The one that is put on the star pedestal goes up to another screen. We then receive a close up where we can interact with this character.

The whole point of Toca Band is the music. We decide which sounds to put together. We then pick the star and use their distinctive sounds to add to the background music of the others. If you can not stand what Toca Band sounds like, then pick different characters. Maybe pick a few less. I noticed certain sounds did not always work well with others.

We tried Toca Band on children here at Family Friendly Gaming. There were mixed reactions. Some got into it immediately and played for a few minutes. Then they lost interest. Others tried it out, and did not get into it at all. I found this a little odd personally. I can see replay value to Toca Band but I can also see where some kids may not want to keep playing it.

There are multiple combinations families can try in terms of musical scores in Toca Band. I am thankful that Family Friendly Gaming was provided a download code before Toca Band went to the street. This is a cute little musical game that can bring smiles to the faces of members of your family. It might also cause fights if someone is not appreciative of your musical choices.
