Safety Features
The guides include information about the safety features of each game. However, the older the age group the less safety features the games will have, so you may notice far less details about the safety features in this third part of the Guide in comparison with the other two. Parents who wish to have tighter guards on their kids online interaction can check out the first two guides- as I mentioned before, many of the games in these guides can be enjoyed be people of all ages. But we are talking about teenagers here, so don't be surprised if they find it patronizing if you suggest they play Wizard 101.
As I've also mentioned in the previous two guides, the creators of these games can make all the effort in the world to try and have their games be a safe place for kids, where they don't have to worry about online predators and vulgar behavior. But the reality is that our kids (and the predators) can fnd ways around safety guards. Therefore, it is highly recommended that parents monitor the online activity of their kids, no matter what their age. Parent should also try to talk to their kids about protecting themselves when online. That being said, here is how the safety features are rated:
- Loaded- the game has implemented the highest standards of online gameplay safety.
- Mediocre- the game has some safety features but they are not necessarily very effective.
- Dismal- the game is a free-for-all in regards to online interaction. Vulgar and offensive language/behavior may be seen.
