Dad found the game to be too easy, highly repetitive, and thus pretty boring. Additional character scripting would have been great (after the first 30 minutes, I had to either mute the volume or go in the other room). It also makes absolutely no sense to me as to why the game is a two-player fest only, when it was absolutely a natural for up to four players.My 5 year-old twins, on the other hand, loved it and couldn't put it down. Unfortunately there isn't much available on the X-box for young kids. Is it a violent game? Yes. Is it mild afternoon cartoon violence that the kids have seen before? Yes.
