Hi Mommies!!
For out first video game review I wanted to do something original. Something almost everyone has heard of. Yes that's right! SUPER MARIO BROS!!!
I played the online version of the game and got to level two! Yes I know I am not very good but I did watch some YouTube play through's to get a better idea of what the rest of the game is all about!! I feel that the best ages to introduce this to your kids is about 8 years old. Not to young because of the mild violence this game does have but also for them to be old enough to get the idea of how to play the game without becoming frustrated every time they die.
The overall synopsis of the game is you start off as a small Italian plumber that is trying to get through this strange world of bricks and pipes and get to the flag at the end of the course. As you continually playing a clock in the left hand corner slowly begins to tick away. As your little Italian plumber Mario moves forward some of the bricks contain prizes such as a growth, money or nothing at all. Along the way there are tons of coins you can collect to better your score. There are also these little creatures and turtles that can harm you along the way if you touch them; if you jump on them they die and your score is increased. The overall purpose of the game is to make it the castle and save the princess.
This game can be found on almost any device. From Nintendo DS, to Play Station and many more devices. This is one universal game that can be played on any device your child has!!

Kid Concerns:
This video game shows some concern for animal cruelty, the destruction of our environment and killing others, but it is not explicitly stated in the game. Your children may just interpret it as boosting their score and getting away from the bad guys. I don't think it's anything to be super concerned about but I know every parent has their own way of raising their children. Overall a great classic game for your not only your children but your entire family!!
I've included a link to the video game play through so that you can see in further detail if you wish!!
