A Lot or a Little?
The parents' guide to what's in this game.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Spyborgs is an action adventure game set in a futuristic world full of cyborgs and robots. There is one unlockable video about flatulence and bathroom humor. You control a cyborg who is fighting evil, laser-shooting robots.The violence is bloodless because you are fighting robots. There is some mild cussing.

What’s It About?
In SPYBORGS, as with so many others games, you save the world. In this case, you hunt down a mechanized megalomaniac whose robotic minions are brutish and nasty. In this two-player brawler, you play as the personality-rich Spyborgs, a superhero team of do-gooders hell-bent on ridding the world of these super scourges.
Is It Any Good?
Some of the more massive enemy robots here are awesome to behold, almost like the big, bad bosses found in the God of War series. As you progress, you’ll gather more strength and upgrade your armor so you can match their power and wits. Heard it all before? That’s because there’s nothing particularly new in Spyborgs. That wouldn’t be so horrible. But there are also some minor problems with camera angles and Wii controls which make playing something of a chore. Plus, this game's difficulty ramps up quickly, making it hard win. You’ll find yourself re-doing the same battle so many times to win, that you might lose sight of why you began playing Spyborgs to begin with: to escape reality, be a superhero, and have a good time.
