A vibrant, side-scrolling, action-adventure platform game, Moshi Monsters: Katsuma Unleashed (3DS SRP $29.99; DS SRP $24.99) will bring fans of all ages into the Moshi Monsters world like never before.

My Thoughts

My son loved the original Moshi Monsters 3DS game, so he was really excited about trying this one out. We received limited edition collector's box that came with two action figures and some pretty cool pop up graphics. This is certainly an awesome way to make a presentation!



Katsuma Unleashed is a family friendly game that's rated E for everyone, but its geared toward children seven and older. It's playable in both 2D and 3D modes. The plot of the game revolves around fighting off Dr. Strangelove's evil robot moshlings. Katsuma must travel through six action packed worlds before the final standoff with the doctor himself. You'll travel through underground fortresses and fancy landscapes, fighting off bad guys and gathering diamonds. My son plays a lot of games but this game is one of my favorites because it reminds me a lot of Super Mario Brothers. There is minimal violence and it's challenging but not impossible for grade school kids. The characters are fun and engaging, the levels are interactive and the 3D graphics are really cool. The only downside is that its only single player. My son would've liked it even more if he could have played along with friends, but all in all, its still a great game.
