It states rated for M -- my son is 10 and loves that his friends play this game online with classmates -- how concerned should I be about the content?

The content is pure war, and multiplayer only you will need membership gold. If you boy play Call of Duty or Gears of War, well this game its the same the content as you wrote its for mature.

I'll begin with I'm 30 and I'm not father. I play this game and it's really exciting, it has parkour, giant robots and a lot of guns, it's so fast that you don't realise the implied violence. You may want to keep an eye on your son if he start trying to run on walls ;)

No idea, I don't remember any vulgar language but I couldn't hear the in game dialogue over the background noise. The violence is pretty tame too really.

That's for you as a parent to judge yourself. My biggest concern as a parent would be the attitude and language of some fellow players - not the game. The game itself is the standard shooter no better - no worse for onscreen graphics and violence.

I'm 18, and I've been playing this game for a while now. In my opinion it does not have really graphic content or strong obscene language, just a fun sci-if game.

No it is not correct. It has some crude humor in it. I would say 14 - any age. My friends and I are in our 20's and we love it. This game, while simple in its nature, takes a lot of strategic planning in order to win, as everyone is against each other. Though if a 10 year old got good at it, they would probably really advanced in their processing abilities later in life.

I would recommend for children. There is not any cussing and the violence is no more than they would see in "Transformers The Movie", which is carried out in a cartoonish manner with swords and gadgets. Now if they play online that is a different story but even online everyone tends to be respectful because majority of the players are children.

Yes definitely suitable. The speed of the game will be slow initially but once the kids get hold of the game, you will be amazed at their observation n quickness. My boy and his friends enjoyed this game alot. They are all 4 yrs old.

8gb is required to play the game. I would get this for a 11yr old. My daughter is 13 and I just bought it for her. I think as long as the children who play this game knows right from wrong and is respectful, then it should be okay. I would buy the game from Xbox store instead of amazon. My daughters game only worked 1 day. Now I have to buy her another one. I could of returned it for an exchange of a new one but she threw away the box and label.

This game does not contain any sexual content so your kids should be fine as far as that goes.

My answer is always, "Would you take your child to this if it was a movie?" The content description is: "Blood, Intense Violence, Nudity, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, Use of Drugs and Alcohol". If you wouldn't sit through a movie with your child and that sort of content, then don't buy them a 40+ hour game with that content. Personally, I would not purchase this game for any child under 16, and not even all 16 year olds (some are immature). If it's helpful, the store policy and most major video game stores would prohibit your son from buying this game on his own without you present. (M Rated games require 17 yrs old to buy independently)

I definitely would consider the recommended age on the box. Beyond that I would say that it is a game that takes some time to learn a good strategic approach to. This will probably take some more time for kids to learn to play competitively than adults but with that being said; I think they can enjoying playing with the whole family and will enjoy it more once they get the hang of the game.

I think it would be okay for an 8 year old. There are few things which make it have the T rating. For example there is lots of punching and action, but there is no blood resulting from the action. A gun is only used by enemies and not by the playable character. Some of the enemies are a little creepy but not too bad. I can only think of one swear word that is used only once, and it is not that bad. But in the end I think it would be okay for an 8 year old. Hope this helps.

The box is accurate when it says 12+. For the game to be funny everyone often has to make up a definition, describe a movie, or come up with what an acronym could stand for, younger children might not have the experience or ability to come up with a completely plausible alternative answer. The answers everyone gives competes with the real answer, and gets you wondering...is that so crazy it's trur?

I have children ages 9-15 and all of my kids enjoy this game (adults do also!). I am sure that younger than 9 can play also-it is basically matching pictures on cards. They do sell a "Spot It Junior"--which I assume is for younger children. We don't own it though so can't give an opinion, sorry!

My son is 6 and my daughter is 8. Their friends have played it and loved it. My husband and I have played it and some of our friends and loved it. I think six ( any younger they might be to short) and older would be great.

It's good for boys and girls who are interest in the Minecraft games. My grandson is 8 and loves it Another boy that I know is 12 and also loves it. However, they both were already into playing the Mindcraft games on the Internet. I assume girls would also like it, if they were into the Mindcraft stuff. I don't know if a child who doesn't know anything about Mindcraft would understand it.

I think a kid as young as 10 has played. Not sure how much enjoyment anyone younger than that will get out of it. Basically, if they are old enough to play Risk they may have fun.

It has an 18 age rating. If I was the parent I would not buy it for my child. But, my sister feels my nephew has a maturity at 16 to play it. He grew up in a rough city so he was never going to stay a kid for long. I would hope that no child of 13 has lost their innocence enough to play a game like this, but the world is not that kind to everyone.

Totally, EA has made the game pretty kid friendly. Unless your child knows how to mod the game it's totally PG-13.

I would say this is appropriate for teenagers and older. The premise is to kill monsters and equip things like the "Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment." Probably not a game for your kids.
