ummmm.....wow....WTF is this!
I really really don't know what to say.  WOW another little kids game this isn't nintendo even though I have mad respect for nintendo.  who in the right mind that is over the age of 8 plays this game.  I'm really confused I don't know if this is an XBOX 360 game or a mini xbox rated little kids 360 game.  hey maybe i'm holusinating or in a bad dream or the world has come to making games that are for little kids for a mans gamming system.

Re: ummmm.....wow....WTF is this!

What's wrong with making games for all ages, all types? 

I have nieces and nephews that want a 360 and want to play mines.  If I had kids, this would be a game I would buy for them.  The console is not just for adult, mature games.  Why pigeon hole yourself into only one type of game?  Have games for EVERYONE.

Re: ummmm.....wow....WTF is this!

I see your point but making a game that are for little kids on a console like this is just not a good idea for many reasons.  and just so your not wondering what they are I will tell you.

  1. little kids don't want to play games like this.
  2. this is an excuse for kids to get a game console that they don't really need.
  3. this is how kids trick there parents into buying them games that are too mature for them (if you ever played Halo 2 you will see my point)

Well but the Xbox 360 want's to succeed so that we will have another one in the next four years.  In order to do that it must capture a bigger fan base, to capture a bigger fan base you need to make games for every one including children, women, elderly and other type of people.  I like it that they are making games for children because it will help them out in sales hopefully, and be in the competition so that we can have another console from MS in the future.

Re: ummmm.....wow....WTF is this!

I hate to break the news, but every console has games that are pretty mature in nature, ones that are for a wide audience, and ones for younger kids.  Nintendo systems are seen as for the kiddies, but if you look at their catalogs, they have a reasonable amount of mature content, too...Resident Evil, for example.  Xbox 1 had stuff like Barbie Horse Adventures and Sneakers for smaller kids.  Are Barbie and Sneakers and Open Season GREAT games?  Probably not, but they do their job for their intended audience, and can be okay for other people to play with their kids or just on a goof.  That's why I played Open Season...just to do a simple game for the heck of it for once.  Having a game like Open Season available on 360 doesn't demean the system...it just widens its potential audience, which is good sense.  Does having a "sissy" game available on one's game console threaten some people's alpha male ego that much? ("I own a 360 and games for little kids are available on it, so now people are going to think I'm a pansy even though I don't have those little kid games myself!")  Geez...

1. This is a stupid thing to argue about, my son is 7 and yes he wants to play this game.

2. The console is ALREADY in the house.

3. Thats why we sometimes RENT games.

How are developers going to entice the future gamers other than by making a game aimed at them?

And by the way, who gets to decide what your child needs?....his/her parent.

id much rather have my son play this than something like saints row or even yes...halo2.

My son is 5 and loves this game and it's nice to have something age appropriate that both of us can play without needing another game console.

Some of you are complaining about this game and xbox actually has a freakin table tennis game.  Which is more lame, a game set for a younger generation or a $60 game on ping pong?

Re: ummmm.....wow....WTF is this!
how about if you dont like the game -- you dont buy it. if you have kids and you have a 360 why not have a game for them to play. who cares if they make a game you don't like? and if the kid is just using a game like this to get their parents to buy them more violent games, then the parents should be paying more attention.

ummmm......wow.....ur and idiot, I'm 15 and I enjoyed the game alot, who cares if its meant for little kids, if you ever have kids who like games, you will probably change your views on why there are games out there that are made to be appropriate material for a kid under 10.

How do you know little kids dont want to play games like this, how is it an excuse for kids to get a system they dont need, you have this system right do u need it? No you want it, so ur parents most likely bought it for you because you want it, not because you will die without it, and cuz ur to stupid to go out get a job and buy it urself like I did (thats alot of money to spend for a 15 yo), no1 needs video games, and how the *** does this game trick parents into buying games that are too matre for them, what are some kind of *** psychologist, parents will buy games that they think their kids will like and that are appropiate for them, if they want to go out and buy halo2 (in my opinion isnt that bad, a bunch of purple and blue guts flying around, and marines saying dumbass, odds are kids have already heard it at school) then who cares, thats their choice.

When you come up with proof for these 3 points from real psychologists, I might agree with you, until then dont be running your mouth and posting these stupid opinions.

i still dont get how a game like this helps kids trick parents into games that are too mature for them....if parents paid attention they would buy games like this that are made for lil kids...and not the violent ones, that are clearly marked mature.

Ok people the crap you have been reading in this topic has all be started by my little brother.  He somehow found out my password and is trying the impersonate me and isn't doing a good job of it.

  1. I don't know why he started this thread
  2. he owns this game
  3. he plays it non-stop.  in fact he beat it like five times already.

I'm like really sorry that you guys had to read this.

Its ok you have to understand the people who are hating this game and or any other games like this (cars and others) are the ones that are 14-17 and maybe even up to 19.  They don't understand that EVEN though this console is made for the older generation we too have kids, cousins, little sisters, and little brothers.  Why not let them enjoy the fun of experiencing video games like you did.  You have to also understand that those little kids that want to play those video games are also looking at what aka YOU ARE DOING; they want to be like you in a small part have a bonding moment so to speak something you can share in common with them.  I for one am glad they have these games.  It makes dealing with my cousins so much easier being able to watch them play and even playing a bit myself.  So don’t hate this game and don’t make fun of the people that do be nice and just be glad we have video games to even play!!!!

This game is simply a game to go along with the movie that came out. I dont think there was a bunch of developers sitting around thinking this was going to be the next big game. Also Im not sure about the demographics along with the 360 but many gamers now are around the age to have young children who might like to play. So give the game a break.

what are you saying, Im 16 and I liked the game, I thought it was alot of fun, and I understand perfrectly that there are kids out there that play these games (wow u wouldnt think so...dumb@$$) on a "system meant for the teen+ generation" (I dont know wtf ur talkin about, because last time I checked, they never said anything about certain systems being made for a certain generation), but I do agree with the last part of little kids looking up to us, and wanting to be like us, in Id say more then a little way

Re: ummmm.....wow....WTF is this!

I'm actually glad that developers are coming out with games like this.  Up until now, I've had to rely on content from live for "age-appropriate" games for my 3 and 5 year old boys.  They both loved (and me too to be honest) Ty The Tasmanian Tiger 2, Cloning Clyde and a bunch of others.  My 5 year old even likes Kameo, though I really don't care for it that much myself. 

I applaude the developers for coming out with kid's games for this system.  Though it sux that I have to share now :-P
