Parental Notes
Parents are split on this title. While the game does not contain profanity, it features mild fantasy violence as players control an alligator that chomps on animals and humans. The violence is comical rather than graphic, with defeated characters disappearing into ghostly clouds. Some parents express concern over scenes like chomping humans in toilet outhouses and a still-image of a shark urinating, which may not be suitable for younger children. The game is generally seen as appropriate for kids 10 and older, but some parents suggest caution due to the crude humor and themes of predation and survival.
