Talking Tom Cat 2 is the free, ad-supported follow-up to the popular
app Talking Tom, featuring an animated cat that repeats everything you
say in a funny voice.
Although Talking Tom Cat 2 has little
repeat play value for grownups, the app is predictably a hit with the
most kiddos--and its animation and graphics are above average for an app
like this (especially in the iPad version). In addition to repeating
what you say, Tom has several reactions you can trigger, like purring
when you stroke him or hissing and clawing when you poke him. You can
also record a video of Tom, which you can then save or share via e-mail,
Facebook, or YouTube. A few more elaborate animations involve Tom's
"neighbor" Ben, a dog who enjoys harassing Tom (such as Ben scaring Tom
by popping a paper bag, causing Tom to leap up to a chandelier).
Overall,
this is a fun, lightweight app, but parents should be aware of a few
things: it's slightly violent (you can slap and poke Tom to the point
that he falls down unconscious), one animation involves Harold noisily
passing gas (sure, you can't avoid fart jokes with kids, but maybe you
don't want to encourage them), and a few of the buttons trigger requests
for in-app purchases, to unlock more abilities.
