What Parents Need to Know
About Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children
Parents need to know that you don't need to have played the original to enjoy this sequel. This is a "persistent" game, which keeps playing even when you're not: If kids want a break, they will need to pause it. Kids probably will want to let the game continue so they can accumulate points and upgrade technologies. Villagers age and die, so parents need to gauge their kid's ability to handle the death of a character they have "nurtured."
