Its rated E10, but honestly I don’t see why a younger child wouldn’t love this game. In fact, my son, who is 11 years old, thought it was a little too easy for him. There are spoken and written instructions to guide you through the adventure, where to go next, and how to use the Wii remote to accomplish the tasks.

You can even play in multiplayer mode, but only in the minigames. I would have liked the ability to take part in the adventure as one of the other characters in multiplayer mode. You can choose between any of your favorite characters including Sid, Manny, Diego, Scrat, and the newest character Buck.

Kids can save up their accrued points and unlock different mini-games, which is always fun. Gives the kids incentives to keep going, so they can try something new.

The game even allows a place to enter cheat codes.

The creators of Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaur have thought of everything (with the exception of the multiplayer adventure game), making this a wholesome family game that everyone will love!

Its rated Teen for mild language and violence, but it was challenging enough that only teens could effectively solve the puzzles and advance in the adventure. My 11 year old son spent hours trying to solve the puzzles and figure out how to conquer each challenge. Keep the level of game playing in mind as you choose Indiana Jones for your kids. If they’re too young, or an inexperienced gamer, they may become frustrated quickly with this game.

I really liked this game because it wasn’t simply a fighting game. It’s not just one fo those mindless punching and kicking games with incessant button pushing. This is a smart game that can capture the attention of kids, while holding the interest of adults.

You can use Indy’s famous whip to take down the bad guys, which is more fun than the standard fight moves. And, the Wii remote and nunchuk allow for more ways to interact with the game and feel more in control.

There are several interestingenvironments including river rapids, a jungle, a temple, and even flying a plane. I’ve heard the graphics are better on the 360 and PS3 (but which games don’t have better graphics on those systems), but the Wii interactivity far outweighs any graphics loss.

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings is highly recommended for older kids and their parents )
