Great for your child
It offers a vast, silly world to explore where they can be a hero without high-pressure difficulty.
Great for you
The writing contains clever puns and parodies that make it genuinely entertaining for adults to watch or play.
Parent notes
This is a local-only game; remind your child that real online games have different safety rules. Discuss the difference between 'cartoon violence' in the game and why we follow safety rules in the real world.
The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
Split-screen co-op allows genuine shared exploration and cooperative puzzle-solving across the open city, though the second player feels somewhat bolted onto Chase McCain's single-player story rather than an equal narrative partner.
Skills this builds
- Splitting up across district blocks to hunt down hidden Super Bricks for major builds
- Tag-teaming environmental puzzles by combining complementary disguises like the robber and fireman
- Laughing together at slapstick cutscenes and parodies of classic detective movies
Try this together
When you unlock a high-cost Super Build site like the ferry or helipad, split up across opposite sides of the district to race who can collect the needed bricks first.
