Parents' Guide to LBX: Little Battlers eXperience

Proving that good things come in small packages, these robots are small in stature but big in fun. At first glance, LBX might look like it's geared more toward younger kids, but there's a considerable amount of depth for gamers of all ages. The story is surprisingly good, though the occasional dark turn (which includes things such as an attempted political assassination) might be a little much for young kids. As interesting as the story is, most kids likely will be more focused on the core gameplay of battling, collecting, and customizing their LBX. This is the bread and butter of LBX and what will keep gamers coming back for more.

With so many parts to collect and so many ways to combine them, it's entirely possible to put together an LBX unlike anyone else. Even if two LBX look the same, what's under the hood could be completely different. Because of the work put into each bot, it's hard not to feel a special connection to your custom creations. And though a lot of micromanagement can go into actually building an LBX, it's done in such a way that it encourages experimentation without ever becoming an exercise in frustration and a player trying to get things "just right." Gamers of all ages may find themselves getting pleasantly lost in the LBX universe.
