Space Shooter Game Options For Children And Older Gamers

By Kathleen Z. Nieves


Some folks think that space shooter game titles are all made for kids to play, but there is a massive adult market that video game designers are working with too. Actually, the growing number of adult gamers has led to the development of more mature gaming titles that are not designed for children at all; they have in depth story lines that follow more adult themes. Maybe the reason for which game developers have such a wide audience to work with now is that the children who were raised on the first generation of video games are now interested in having adult style games. But some parents who play their own games would like to find titles that are more matched for their young children; how have developers made games for both groups?

There are three considerations that will help you know if a space shooter game is right for kids; the graphics, the plot line, and the rating it has received. The graphics that appeal to children tend to be brighter and cartoonier than those that are used in games marketed primarily towards adults. The simplistic plot elements used in the development of children's games is ideal for those young gamers who just want to have some fun; they would not work so well, however, for adults who want a game with a good story. If you are worried about your son or daughter being exposed to adult language, sexual themes, and intense violence or gore, make sure you choose games that have received child appropriate ratings, such as E, which stands for Everyone.

Games made for adults tend to be more focused on character development and the storyline that winds throughout the game. Or they may want to find a more realistically violent space shooter game that feels intense and gritty. Adult gaming has gotten to be a big business and has allowed game developers to really explore their creative and technological abilities.

If you have not gotten a hold of a demo version of a new game, though, you might have no idea if you or your child will like it. The Internet has made doing both of these things much easier; there are tons of blogs online where you can read about the latest games in all genres and download free demos.

A great space shooter game for you or your child does not have to be hard to find; there are easy ways to do so. Check reviews of games you are considering to understand the style of gameplay and other details before you decide which to get.
