i played a couple of times but i am seriously video game challenged(the only one i ever mastered was super mario bros on super nintendo ) but if he is good at video games he may like it alot more than i did but it did seem a bit more grown up so depending on his age it may not be appropriate???!!! but i let my 15 yr old DD play and she didnt like it much either and she isnt challenged like her old mother i think she thought there was going to be alot more of Capt'n jack but we only saw him in the begining so i think that why she lost interest
check it out, how old is he? she just got boered like i did...not very fun when you cant figure out what you are supposed to do next lol but she is good at the video games just said it was boring. like i said i think it was the lack of Capt'n jack but hey that may be my reason too and yes it is free!!!!
