Project Runway (Wii)
common sense media says
Virtual dress up kit acts as gateway game to watching show.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Project Runway is based upon a reality TV show of the same name and, as such, becomes a gateway game to wanting to watch that teen-appropriate show. And although that TV show is far from the worst offender in reality-TV-land, it can at times sink into places of cattiness, name-calling, bleeped profanity, and diva fits which is why we suggest it for teens. While none of that is part of the game, any child playing the game is likely to want to watch the show. This is simply something that should be kept in mind. As a virtual dress-up doll kit, the Project Runway game will be appealing to many children -- fans of the show or not.
Educational value:
Players will learn about different styles of fashion (harajuku, art deco, hip-hop, etc.), what those styles entail, and how to recognize them when you see them.
Positive role models:
The videos (directly from the show) that introduce the contestants, depict them all as earnest, determined, and even well-rounded people. If you watch the video clips in the "Bonus" section, you'll find two or three in which contestants insult one another's designs, but those clips are never seen during the course of the actual game.
Ease of play:
If anything, it's too easy.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
It is possible to design slightly suggestive clothing in the game (bare midriff tops, miniskirts). Also some real-life cleavage is visible in some of the video clips from the show.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
The game can be seen as an ad for the Project Runway TV show, but there are no real-world brands used anywhere in the game (despite obvious potential to do so).
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
