i have a thirteen year old son and my husband and i bought this for him after he asked for it tons of times. at first i thought it was to violent, having not seeing the game yet, so i read some reviews online and it seemed it wasnt that bad of a game. i bought it for him and i watched how interesting the game is. The esrb ratings suck so bad this game barely has language and their is little blood. Besides esrb gives all shooter games the rating of m so it doesnt matter. Besides these war games can also teach you about history and the future and you could see what it is like to really be a soldier. This game really is NOT BAD AT ALL and if you are experiencing the same thing as me. Buy the game for them and you will see it is not bad. i would suggest this game for 13 yrs old and up mainly for violence. Also this game is not even close to as bad as any of these pg 13 movies out now
