This is a good game for, i would say 10 and up. If you are looking for fun, i would go with the first one. This one is alot harder than the others. If you are under ten, then i would do the first one. Anyways, good game, not bad at all. You can crash rides, but it just says people died. Teaches money management. Kids might find it fun to make their family members charcters in the game. No sexuality or anything in the game which is a big plus. Game gets an A+ from me.
