Parents need to know that this game is based on the Monsters vs. Aliens movie. The game emphasizes combat, with the monsters pitted against waves of alien drones, giant robots, and a handful of human jail guards. There are hefty doses of cartoon violence and explosions. Puzzles include throwing drones into an incinerator and firing them out of cannons. B.O.B. can suck up guards and aliens and spit them back out as projectiles. When defeated, enemies simply fall over and disappear.
Positive messages:Some comic mischief, such as The Missing Link's fondness for loud belching. Ginorma (Susan) takes some flak for being a giant girl, including being taunted for having "man hands." Over the course of the game she learns to appreciate her newfound strength, as it comes in handy for propping up buildings and forcing open doors. The monsters are fighting to save Earth, even though the humans didn't originally treat them very well.
Violence:Plenty of cartoon violence but nothing graphic. The monsters fight with melee attacks, and can pick up objects (including enemies) and throw them. B.O.B. can suck up items and spit them out as projectiles.
This game is a gem cause I really really love this game and I desire to buy it. I only rented it but I loved it, it was great. It's kinda easy at the beggining, but gets a little harder depending on how far you are just like most games, but for the win, I pretend to be one of the characters and act like I'm in the game kinda like acting like what their doing and it usally gets more easier. Much too violent for small children so they must keep out. I don't like susan's voice in the game because she sounds more like Anna Paquin playing Shiina in Castle in the sky and that's not her supposed acurate role. But anyway, I did like the game, could be good for an 8 year old to play. If you or your kids are fans of this movie, then rent this game they'll like it like i did.
This a very fun game to play, especially on the Wii! There is a lot of cartoon violence but its not that bad. This a great game for older kids and tweens!
