Pretend you're Godzilla or King Kong. No thinking required. Walk and destroy things, do whatever you want to.
It's violent in a relaxing way. You get to live out your inner monster's fantasies of punching open buildings, seeing what's inside and eating people as they run, squishing the cop that shoots at you. Swiping at the choppers from the top of a building...
This is the kind to play with friends, even those that are not competent at video gaming can still enjoy this. (In my opinion it's seriously under-rated.)
This game is not for people who want a story-line, but perfect for people who hate reading and complicated controls. Harks back to the days when games required very little thinking as compared to games now. Simple and idiot-proof.
Highly recommended as games for little tots of whom you want to introduce to the gaming world.
