Poll: Does a Kiddie Game = Shitty Game?

[ProfessorLayton]

Depends. I still play and love Pokemon and that's considered a kiddie game by some. Most of the time, kiddie games are like kiddie movies where they don't care about the content and just try to market it towards kids and forget about the quality. So not always, but most of the time.

I would say usually. There are E-rated games that are interesting and not shallow, but most "kiddie" games are just based or ripped off of existing material and done poorly.

 

[Urgh76]

yes yes yes yes yes yes YES!!!! if u don't believe me, look at what they did to CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Urgh76]

That's a definite NO.

Have you ever played Crash Bandicoot? Or Scribblenauts?

UH have you seen what the company has done to crash bandicoot?!?!?! huh huh did ya did ya huh?!?!?!??!?!

Oh come on. God of War was a great game, and it was a kid game right?

 

[Aesir23]

Not always, there are plenty of 'Kiddie' games out there that are plenty of fun.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

And this is precisely why games with a easygoing, child like aesthetic don't sell. "Naw, that game looks kiddy, so I'm sure it's shit". Look at Little King's Story, Viva Piñata, Scribblenauts, Ratchet and Clank, Mario, and so on.

Well GoW 3 is aimed at 13 year olds...

Better yet, a question should be "Does an action game = great game?"

 

[McMarbles]

No. That's a generalization, and all generalizations are false. Including this one.

Usually. But sometimes you can find gems hidden in the rubble.
