Most of the games are cartoony and kid friendly. Kids love Sonic, and they&#8217;ll enjoy playing many of the simple classics on here. Some of the 2-D brawlers are a little violent and a few of the games have rudimentary 16-bit gore. But because of the nature of these older games, none of the violence is very graphic or realistic and I&#8217;d be OK with just about any kid playing these classics. Reading is helpful for some of these games, and they can be a little difficult at times because many are based on arcade titles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t let the name fool you, there&#8217;s more than just Sonic on this great collection!
