Why We Rated This for Ages 13 and Up

The good stuff

• Ease of play:

  This looks like it should be easier to play than it is. But it's sometimes very difficult to pull off moves with the Wii remote.
• Educational value:

  Not an issue.
• Messages:

  The idea here is time worn and simple: if you work together as a team, you can defeat the evil enemy. However, you accomplish this goal by fighting.
• Role models:

  The superhero team of Spyborgs always want to get the job done right. Perhaps a child can make the leap to do this in real life with chores and homework.

What to watch out for

• Violence:

  The violence here is toned down in the sense that there is no blood, only sparks, lightning, fire, and bright colors fly when you hit the robotic enemies. You control a cyborg who is fighting evil, laser-shooting robots. There is hand-to-hand combat, and slow-mo finishing moves shown up close.
• Sex:

  Not an issue.
• Language:

  Infrequent use of 'hell''and "ass." Also note that there is an unlockable movie full of crude humor about farting and other human bathroom deeds.
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Not an issue.
