Forums - Microsoft - What are the best under 12 games for the 360?

      We bought my nephew a 360 for Christmas this year.  He already had a Wii, and we couldn't afford to buy him a PS3.  So, I was wondering what are the best 360 games for children to play?  I know Banjo and Kazooie is probably one of them, but what are others?



Heavens to Murgatoids.

Kameo is a pretty cool game, Crash Bandicoot is fun also. Fable 2 is a possible choice if you don't mind the gay marriages! There are the racing games from Need 4 Speed, Forza 2, Project Gotham etc. Civilization Revolutions is a pretty cool strategy game I hear. Prince of Persia is a Teen rating and its quite easy to get into (Haven't played it yet sorry) Marvel Ultimate alliance is fun, cheap and a great game to play. Tales of Vesperia is another game that sounds pretty cool (Teen) (Not PAL), along with Blue Dragon/Lost Odyssey (Both teen).

On Live theres Castle Crashers/Geometry wars 2 as good choices from live.



Tease.

Mercs 2 is rated T for teen, he might like that.
Burn out Paradise
GH or Rockband? You can get good deals on a guitar and just the game.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Duh, kung fu panda and lego indiana jones. Which you are probably already getting.

Mercs 2 is T? Wow! I love that game, its such a fun game inspite of its many flaws. Helicopters FTW, I swear im going to make that my mission to play on Live ASAP.

Tease.

I don't think I would let my kids play Fable 2...especially under 14.

Viva Pinata , Star Wars FU, oh and Lego Star Wars are great fun.

My son (he's 11) like a lot of games on Live, like Kingdom for kefling, Age of Booty.

Only M rated game I let my kid play is Halo 3.



Racing wise, Grid gets my vote.

But kids like their need for speed.

Kids suck.



You can buy almost anything, everyone knows the Xbox360 is for kids!

:)



Lego Games, Viva Pinata 2, Banjo, , Scene It, Lips,PGR4, Pure, Forza, The Grid, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Force Unleashed, Fable II (if someone playing with them in co-op). As mentioned lots of games on XBLA



Nuts and bolts
lego indiana jones
lego batman
lego star wars complete saga
kameo
sonic unleashed
crash bandicot mind over mutant
the new spyro game

The question is wath type of kids game you want as i feel that the 360 is more an console for ages 15 and up even if microsoft tryes to do an nintendo nowdays.....
Wich i think suck as they should put there efforts on more 360 exclusives instead as i have an 360 and wii also.



Its about the games not the hardware well ???????
