Parents need to know that this movie-based game is a fast-paced action/adventure game that contains almost non-stop combat. However, the fantasy violence that saturates this video game involves special agent guinea pigs who are fighting animated household appliances who have been reprogrammed to do damage. Players will be battling paper shredders, waffle irons, radios and the like using a variety of guns and whips. And while these machines can seem menacing, they never cross over into being scary. The game relives the plot line of the movie.
Positive messages:You control an elite group of guinea pigs who are trying to save the world from an army of renegade appliances. Unfortunately, they do most of their protecting by using violence to eliminate the enemy.
Positive role models:Guinea pig Darwin is courageous and clever and committed to doing good. However, one of the G-Force is a traitor.
Ease of play:This game has good tutorials and the controls are pretty easy to learn. The save points are frequent, and hints are readily available when playing on the Easy level. The game can be played on three levels of difficulty.
Violence:Playing as an covert agent guinea pig, you have a electric whip, various guns, a flamethrower, and a freeze gun at your disposal to try to take out renegade appliances that are attacking you. In one cutscene you will see human forces come in and shoot out a paper shredder with machine guns.
The movie was barley release and they ALREADY released a game?! That has been becoming a habit with video games based on movies. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonion the Game was released before the movie was even out!
Fun action-packed game is a must play for young teens!
It's really fun and easy! Love it! However, the game is filled with tons of fantasy violence. You can shoot at enemies with a variety of different guns. Enemies attack you and can hurt you with different kinds of attacks. This game should have actually been rated T because of all the excessive fantasy violence. The game can get quite challenging. There are 3 levels of difficulty: Easy, Normal, and Hard. That way, different players have the chance to better enjoy the game. And also, the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 version can be played in 3D! They include two 3D glasses! That can make the game much more exciting. But, at the same time, it might make some parts of the game scarier for younger kids.
