    Younger gamers out there will definitely have a good time and won’t find themselves getting stuck or frustrated too often. Unfortunately, the older and more experienced younger gamer out there may find this title to be somewhat dull overall.

    Indeed because it's a kid's game some of the control setups and challenges are baffling as they are anything but intuitive and perhaps too hard for many young players.

    With some poor attempts to capitalize on the extreme sports genre, Beach Bandits doesn't have a whole lot to offer, even for the younger gamers this game was intended for.

    It’s way too hard in places for the youngest gamers, but older players will be annoyed by the trite story and senseless collecting.
