i will keep the game because some of my kids might like it when they come to hang out with their old dad.
from www.amazon.com
the story and gameplay elements are so kid friendly, so really anyone can play and enjoy this game, but it's not just for kids at all.
from www.amazon.com
interesting with this game, a lot of it has to do with the general weirdness of japanese culture, as this game both visually and conceptually seems like it was taken out of a japanese kids cartoon.
from www.amazon.com
it's great for kids because the controls are easy and the objects that you pick up are funny to see.
from www.amazon.com
it's also very kid friendly and the most violence seen is rolling up people and animals into your ball although this is done in a comical fashion.
