So this new Ratchet and Clank game is kiddy, right?

Well after reading through the thread, it's obvious that everyone here bagging on R&C has never played it.

They see colorful cartoony graphics and check the rating and it's a "kiddy game". I'd love to see little children complete this game. Have fun on the boss battles little Jeffy!

Obviously we have some bitter Wii owners here.

There's a difference between a kiddy game and a game that can be enjoyed by kids.

How many 8 year olds will understand references like Up Your Arsenal or Size Matters?

Is Shrek a kiddy movie? It definitely appeals to kids, but it's not teletubbies. Adults can appreciate the humor. Same goes for R&C, and on top of that the gameplay is great.

It appeals to kids, so that makes it a kids game in part, right? On top of that it looks like a Saturday Morning Cartoon.

Are you really trying to stretch logic like that?

Grand Theft Auto appeals to children because it's cartoony and colorful. Is it a kiddy game?

"A kids game in part"? Wtf does that even mean? If I say yes is it an admission of it being a "kiddy" game? It's clearly on a different level than Happy Feet, let's get that cleared up.

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"]You must never have played a R&C game.-Despacio-

Hmm, I didn't know one was required to play a game before labeling it kiddy? Right? No? What System Wars have I been on these past few years?

So you are saying that you want to sink to the level of rabid fanboy? Two wrongs making a right?

Stop me if I am wrong, but there are better alternatives, such as taking the high road, or even making a thread to discuss the issue without the tone and attitude that you have chosen to take.

Just because it 'looks' a certain way doesn't make it so. I have to agree with D_Znuhtz that there's a difference between a kiddy game and a game that can be enjoyed by kids. There are certain games that are designed to be played by kids -- they are the target audience. R&C on the other hand, seems to be targeting everyone, not necessarily a specific age demographic. There's also some mature humour that kind of shows that R&C isn't 'kiddy'.

I also think that bashing games for being kiddy is stupid. But I think you're making a huge generalization about gamers who aren't big on Nintendo.

and what do you say to the cows who bag on wii games and call them kiddy when they have never played it? if you think the ps3 is the one getting picked on for a kiddy game then you haven't been around here much.

Yup! The PS3 sure gets alot of kiddy crap!XenoNinja

Fair enough. But then I'm guessing you'd consider Zack and Wiki just as much a non-kiddy game, correct?

I mean will little Jeffy figure out those hour long puzzles that stumped the IGN reviewers?

Or I've pegged you completely wrong maybe? I don't know.

Just saying, it looks like a cartoon. It looks kiddy according to the usual standards around here.

I find it funny one of the most hyped game for the PS3 by cows around here besides Uncharted is a kiddy game.

Irony?

I saw my 10 year old nephew play it on ps2. he's beaten it.

Are you calling Ratchet and Clank and Dewy's Adventure or Happy Feet the same type of game?

Actually if you take a look at Gametrailers review of the game you will see that they say the game is easy, and seeing how children are generally better at gaming than adults you will be hard pressed to find a child gamer that cant complete the game if they want to.

You're really terrible at this. "In part" invalidates your whole thread. Everything "in part" appeals to kids. I was watching Total Recall and Terminator at 9. Does it make them kiddy? They certainly appealed to me, "in part".

Wait, so you're saying any game that can be appealing to kids is in part a 'kiddy' game? Uh, first of all, by saying that a game can be 'in part' kiddy destroys the significance of the term, especially when you qualify such partial kiddiness based on if the game can possibly appeal to kids. I'm sure Gears of War's furious shooting action can appeal to kids, soare yousaying then that it is 'in part' kiddy? If that's what you're implying, then sure, I'll agree, though I think it is a pointless way to define 'kiddy'.

Please answer this question:

How many young children are going to get the joke "Up Your Arsenal"? Tell me how a game called "Up Your Arsenal" is aimed at kids.

assuming you are talking about kiddiness then no but i am calling R&C and Zach and Wiki the same type of game, meaning that both appeal to younger audiences and older ones as well.

and since you've been around here plenty you'll know that pretty much everything that comes out for the wii that doesn't involve killing something is considered kiddy by many cows.

You say R&C seems to be designed for everyone. Ok, so that includes kids, yes? So whydoes a game designed for everyone look like a cartoon? Not proving a point here, justlooking for elaboration.

Yeah, Pixar appeals to adults. But the majority of revenue, the marketing, and the accessibility all weighs in favor of the kids, no?

True or false, is R&C a kiddy game with some adult appeal?

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is one of the most colorful games I know of. It is cartoony and unrealistic, and when I had it on my PS2 several years ago at my grandmother's place, my 8 year old cousin was fascinated.

I happen to like that cartoony look for some games. I don't think it's restricted to kids.

Then I could say Battalion Wars II, Mario Galaxy, Zack and Wiki, Fire Emblem, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, and Trauma Center are games for everyone that's appealing to both kids and adults, right? Nobody will argue against this, correct?

If so, and seeing as this is the heart of Nintendo's Holiday lineup, I guess it's fair to say the Wii is not a kiddy oriented console when it comes to the big budget games, right?

Just when i thought lemming could go no lower...sam280992

Why is R&C less "kiddie" than Mario? Because it uses crude humor that most people grow out of? Because it uses a gun?

Ratchet and Clank rated T for teen commerical

yes lol its kiddy.

Yet, if it was a Wii game....OGTiago

probably would have been rated E.

No its not kiddy. Theres lots of jokes little kids wouldn't get, and all the other ones have gotten a 'T' rating, so technically kids arnt supposed to play em anyway, even though they do :P

Any way, I hate the kiddy arguement thing. Im not insecure, so ill play them if they call them kiddy or not.

and the creatures with high pitched voices in HALO3 are Adult?

Stfu,. Ps3 owners are older than 360 bots.

Yeah it has a kiddy image. Difference is R&C is one kiddy game on a mature platform, while Nintendo consoles are based around kiddy games. And no, kiddy doesn't mean it sucks.Lazy_Boy88

So you do think it's a kiddy game? That's what you just said, right? One kiddy game on a mature platform?
