They're rough, they're tough, they're lean, mean, game machines. Which console has what it takes to beat the pudding out of the rest and be the king of the console wars? Catch the finale here.

The consoles have stepped up to do battle. The Dreamcast was the first on the field and the first to disappear. The Playstation 2 started with a whimper cuz nobody could get one unless you'd ordered it 10,000 years in advance. The Gamecube is out in Japan and will be available in the US by Nov. 18, 2001. The Xbox is hitting stores on Nov. 8, 2001 - it's going to be hot competition between the Cube and the Box. But which system is the top machine? Let's review the stats.

Sega Dreamcast:

The Dreamcast's high points are the great games, crazy-low price and good internet action. Low-power, no DVD and the fact that it's a dead system give it serious problems.
Rating: 3


Sony Playstation 2:

As the first system with DVD and serious brand-name power, the PS2 rocked the Dreamcast. When the more powerful systems hit the stores with all their big name games the PS2 is gonna get stomped flat cuz it can't compete.

Nintendo Gamecube:

Good power, great games, big names and a low price give the little guy the power to compete. No DVD is a serious bummer and takes it down a notch from perfect to nearly perfect.
Rating: 4


Microsoft Xbox:

The Xbox is coming to the console war with more power than a stampeding horde of *NSYNC fans - and about 13 gazillion games you'll be able to play. It also has a hefty price tag, no experience at making consoles and a DVD remote that you need to fork out extra ca$h for - otherwise, no DVD for you.

    Disney's Toontown Online Score - 8 Description - Disney's Toontown Online, or Toontown, as most people call it, is a game about anthromorphic animals called Toons whose fun and happy lands are invaded by the evil, fun-hating business robots called Cogs. How To Play -  The player creates a Toon.  After the Toon is created, you are sent to the Toontorial (the tutorial).  The Toontorial shows your the basics of the game.  After you finish the Toontorial, you are given quests called Toontasks.  Now you have begun your fun Toon adventure! Safety - There are three types of chat: Speedchat, Speedchat Plus, and True Friends.  Speedchat is a list of canned phrases which you can click on to chat.  Speedchat Plus allows you to talk more freely; however you can only type in approved words; otherwise the censored word will appear as your Toon species' sound.  True Friends chat is a way for you to connect to your real life friends more easily; there is no filter; however True Friends chat is moderated heavily. Game Status - As of two thousand and ten - two thousand and thirteen, the game has been slowly falling apart.  The community is filled with griefers and script-kiddies, even (very rarely) real hackers.  Also, Disney is not doing a very good job of keeping the game family-friendly.  I would be very careful in the districts Toon Valley, Nutty River, and Nutty Summit, as these districts are hacker and griefer hotspots.
