    Covert operatives get high-tech in 21st century.

Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The team only has one female member, but she 's second in command and clearly is much of the brains behind their operations.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Action hero gun battles are common, but the only ones who appear to get hurt are the robotic bad guys.

  • Sexy stuff:

    Female team member's suit makes her breasts and butt hard to miss.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Part of the vast G.I. Joe product line.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About G.I. Joe: Sigma Six

Parents need to know that, as with most action-hero cartoons, good and evil are clearly defined and good always wins. Gun violence is at the heart of every episode, but the repercussions are minimal since the G.I. Joe operatives wear protective suits and the enemies are machines. Joe members, including commander Duke, exemplify teamwork and must trust each other to get out of sticky situations, while the Cobra Commander dictates his troops' moves and uses threatening language to encourage hard work.
