Car mechanic sim with iffy role model, repetitive repairs.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this game is a simulation game that puts you in control of a character learning the ins and outs of being an auto mechanic. Using the DS stylus, players will change tires, paint vehicles, add new mufflers, and even cut and replace panels on vehicles. The main character is scared and nervous of police officers because a friend of his was killed in a car accident and initially he hides from the cops.
Educational value:
The game will bring about some basic knowledge of the inner workings of a car engine, as well as the parts of a car. It will not truly teach you how to fix a car, but the steps are generic enough that you can learn a little.
Violence:
Violent situations are referenced in the game and demonstrated with still photos, but nothing violent is controlled or created by the player.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Mild language, like "damn," and "ass" – but there are used very infrequently.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
