Can a 12 year old boy play this game? And not have it to many curse words

I would not recommend this game for anyone under 18 years old because of the language and violence. Yes, it is a military based game but that doesn't mean a child should be playing it.

Well COD: Black Ops has quite a lot of foul language and its based on the idea that at war people curse a lot.

yes they can play it and in the settings menu you can shut off the foul language...at least you can in the zombies part.

For your grandsons 11 and 13 is perfect...but is not a game for kids...and just in case they like strategy games like monopoly or chess....They are gona love it.

Honestly I think it's alright for a kid to play if he's got a good head on his shoulders. No Denying that this is a violent game, but I wouldn't say it's senseless or exploitative, more of a gritty violence. It also deals with some mature themes such as grief and depression in an interesting way, theres some foul language, but it's used reasonably, and there wasn't much sexual content to speak of. The game is more about problem solving and making tough decisions in various high stress situations.

It is a single player game. And it is rated T for teen. I don't know your kids, and I won't tell you how to be a parent (if I am wrong in assuming you are a parent, I apologize). While not over-the-top vulgar or bloody like most games nowadays, the rating is there for a reason and demands consideration. But the decision ultimately is up to you.

A child who couldn't read would be frustrated by this game. 99% of the game is not voice-acted, so they wouldn't understand what was going on. There's a note on the back of the box as well that says reading ability is required to play, which is completely true. The ability to read character dialogue and game menus is absolutely necessary.

I dont believe that i said that it wasnt intended for children 13 and under in any of my reviews. I might be mistaken, but I don't think so. i think its a great game for kids.

This game is rated for teens and up, mostly due to the scantily clad female characters and a bite of harsh language. Basically if you let your child watch the Batman movies and they handled it with no problems then this game is not going to affect them like Grand Theft Auto V. So in my opinion it is ok.

I don't what your son has heard and not heard as far as cuss words go, but there is like one or two times f word used and few times b word used. As far as violent stuff no blood, as batman all you really do is punch, kick and throw batarangs, at bad guys, so nothing seriously inappropriate like majority of games. Hope that answered your question, if not.I apologize and you can ask me another

We have 12grandkids and both games. They don't understand the older game if they are 7. We have an 8 year old and junior is a little a.dvanc.ed....

This game would be a bit difficult but if he has friends to play with (it's a great multiplayer game) it wont be too hard. There's no gore or gratuitous violence at all, so it's very appropriate for all ages in my opinion. I really love this game :)

It is violent. A lot of shooting and killing people. Online can be very graphic and people are very profane. In my opinion, no, it's not acceptable for a 9 year old. If my son was 9, I wouldn't allow him to play it.

This is a pretty simple game. But certain strategies a more experienced player could use may merit the game less fun. A young (8+) player could definitely play.

My husband and I are addicted to this game, and we're in our 50s. I think that kids 8-12 could play, but they probably wouldn't play as well as an adult. It does take some strategy and I think my grandchildren, who are near that age, probably wouldn't be very good players.

I think so, however the youngest I've known to play it is 8. If the 6 yr old grasps instructions well then he should be fine. It's the explanation of various combinations vs. just colour combos that may frustrate him. But there is no reading involved so he may just enjoy it for the combinations and patterns.

Unless you are sheltering him from language that he hears at school and on basic cable, then yes this game is appropriate. And as long as he doesn't confuse reality and fantasy, he will be fine. Let him play it in the safety of his own home so he doesn't have to find it on the streets.

Yes the game is kid friendly but it might take him a little time to learn the controls hope this helps

I wouldn't recommend it. They certainly CAN play the game but the crude behavior and constant cursing would cause me to say not for children.
