What parents need to know
Parents need to know that iStunt 2 - Snowboard is a physics-based snowboarding game that focuses on tricks and big air. Players control a boarder who rides in a series of anything-but-the-real-world conditions, scoring points for perfect landings and mid-air tricks. Using the gyroscope to control the rider, players must tilt their iDevice from side to side to change his trajectory. Early levels are fairly docile, but if the player is advanced enough to make it deeper into the game, there is some grisly content, such as a level where you must avoid giant spinning blades or be dismembered. (And given the level of difficulty of the game at that point, you'll likely hit them several times.) The app also has minor language concerns, with a level named "Hell Yeah!" The iPad version (called iStunt 2 HD - Snowboard) costs more, but is the same game and has HD graphics.
Is it any good?
Originally a flash game for the PC, iStunt 2 has transitioned well to the iOS world. While it's hardly advanced, the game can be a fun for players with patience, offering a wide number of challenges and checkpoints (so that when you inevitably fail at one of those challenges, you don't have to start over from the beginning). The difficulty is a factor, though -- as the game gets hard fast. And the violence levels increase dramatically (and unexpectedly) as you get further into the game. It all looks great, is easy to control and is loaded with over 40 levels, which is a bit more heft than you might expect from a title like this. Paying for a game that can be played for free online might seem a little odd, but consider it a tariff for being able to play while you're on the go.

iEasy
I've got to admit, this game just about breaks every law of physics, but it's very fun and addictive! I played the demo, and that was pretty fun. I suggest you play it at Miniclip to get the full experience. The only problem was that it was a bit too easy. I found myself zipping through every level with little to no difficulty. Overall though, it is a very fun game!

Highly fun arcadey slopes is too violent for young children, tweens and up.
There is one reason why I gave this a 12+. When you hit a saw blade your charcter breaks into bloodless peices.
Iffy 10-12 On 12+

AWSOME GAME
This is a great game for kids around the age of 10 or 11. 99 out of 100 kids now days can easily take a little blood or a little swearing, actually most prefer it. if your kids are alright with a small amount of cartoon blood then they should be fine. There is no drugs, alcohol or anything related to sex in this game.
