Cartoon Network Games
There are over one hundred Cartoon Network games available for free and accessible by anyone with an Internet connection on the Cartoon Network website. The games are related to the cartoons that air on the network.
Most of the available games can be accessed and played immediately online. The site also offers the option to purchase selected games as a download for personal use at any time, even while your computer is offline.
Game Categories
The 100+ games available on the Cartoon Network website are sectioned into six categories: shows, action, activities, adventure, arcade, and sports. Additionally, most involve recognizable cartoon characters such as Scooby Doo, Tom & Jerry, Powerpuff Girls, and many more.
Cartoon Network games were created so kids can watch their favorite shows on television, and when the television is off, the fun can continue online. With interconnected online games, the Cartoon Network can keep kids entertained no matter what the time of day.
Easy to Navigate
Games on the Cartoon Network website are easily accessible and relatively simple to understand. The website is also very colorful and entertaining. Titles and brief descriptions of all the games can be displayed either all at once or divided into categories. When a game is selected, the website provides information on how to play as well as easy instructions on starting the game. As some games take a few seconds to load, a very short advertisement sometimes pops on the screen, this usually refers to the cartoon associated with the game about to be played.
Game FAQs
The Cartoon Network website has a "Frequently Asked Questions" section related to the available games.
Two of the most popular questions are:
"Why won’t the games load?" Some games will stall and not load completely because most of them require the computer to have Flash installed. Flash can be obtained for free and you can access the downloadable plug-in directly from the Cartoon Network website. Some of the games also require Shockwave, which is another plug-in that can also be downloaded for free from the website.
"Why do some of the games seem to take forever to load?" Many of the games on the Cartoon Network website are fairly large in size, but download quickly onto computers with high-speed Internet connections. For computers which utilize a dial-up connection, the games may take quite a while to load.
Top 5 Games
On the front page of the Cartoon Network games website, there is a list of the "Top 5" games. The top games are determined weekly by how many times the offered games were accessed and played by users all over the world. The list will often change and it's interesting to see which are the most popular games at any given time. Also, many kids like to play the same games as their worldwide peers.
Located next to the Top 5 Games list is a list of "Your Top 5" games. This list keeps track of which Cartoon Network games are accessed and played most often by a specific computer.
Power Play Games
In addition to the free games on the Cartoon Network website, they offer a suite of games called, "Power Play Games," which are not free.
Users can access Power Play Games and download demos so that the games can be tested. If they decide to play the entire game, full-use versions can then be downloaded for a fee and played at any time on or offline. Most of the games are priced from $10 to $20, but once they are purchased, they can be played forever.
