Topic: Custom Robo Teen Rating

[jpturner]

Looking for help from the faithful. My 9 year old wants Custom Robo for his birthday, but I see it is rated T for Teen. Is the game any more violent than a Super Smash Bros. beat 'em up? (Albeit with rockets and missiles instead of power moves).

Super Smash Bros. doesn't seem any worse than a Looney Tunes cartoon you control, and I'm inclined to permit the purchase because my son is in such a froth over the game. The idea of battling bots doesn't seem worse than most Saturday morning fare.

Any help appreciated. JTurner

This game will definitely not corrupt your 9 year old.  Honestly I wonder why this game is rated teen in the first place.  There is a character who is always talking about getting people's phone numbers, but he is much more ridiculous than harmful.  That's about it.  No worse than Smash Bros.  I have a 10 year old brother and he's actually messed up but for other reasons entirely.

I just want to applaud you for caring what your kids play!  I'm always seeing 10 year olds playing M rated games in the stores around my city...maybe they're "getting away" with it while their parents are off shopping in another store, but I have a feeling a lot of parents just let their kids play these games.   And you're not even just letting the rating system decide for you!  Nice!

I haven't actually played the game so I can't give you any real advice, but I agree that what I've seen looks relatively harmless.
