Nonstop Chuck Norris
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's It About?
In NONSTOP CHUCK NORRIS, players step into the roundhouse-kicking boots of Chuck Norris, who fights a never-ending series of battles against groups of enemies, occasionally pausing to fight bigger boss enemies. As players progress, they earn additional powers (such as hitting the ground so hard lava comes up) and "armor," which ranges from a tracksuit to a horse-head mask.
Is It Any Good?
Humor's a valuable weapon, but it can get old quick in this bland action game. Nonstop Chuck Norris relies on a lot of internet-based jokes to carry its premise along, pulling out just about every meme of the past five to seven years. But ultimately, that's not enough to carry the game. The brawler happily plays itself and doesn't really need a lot of interaction from the player. Every now and then, it'll give you the opportunity to fight a boss, which will require you to use special skills and ensure you've sufficiently upgraded your weapon and armor, but otherwise, it powers through wave after wave of enemies without need of assistance. That makes it easy to upgrade items (since you're constantly earning gold coins, even when you quit the app), but ultimately, it makes for a very boring play experience.

Families can talk about violence in games. Do you know the differences between cartoon violence and the impact of trying those moves in the real world?
Talk about how legends are made. Should you accept a legend on face value based on what you're told, or should it be scrutinized?
