It has an 18 certificate doesn't it? I'm not a video gamer, but I have noticed the certificates on the boxes. Fair enough I think if it's an 18. There are other games that would be more suitable.

well it is rather violent for a 10year old. probably best not let her play on it for a bit.
Good game none the less, as long as you dont get too addicted to slaughtering everyone.

I am a gamer and also work in the games industry, the certificates are there for guidance, based on content as are videos, if you are happy with her watching an 18 film then give her the game back. (it is a bl**dy good game though )
So no your not an old fart..

Question

Did you ask her how she got it? Surely she couldnt have bought it herself.

I let my 6 year old son play it, he knows the difference between reality and fantasy.

I think these days there is way too much fuss about computer games and real life violence. Kids pick up dodgy habits from school and the people they hang around with when they get older.

Thats my opinion of course

Cell, totally agree with you!
my 5 yearold loves it, and before any social workers reading start to get excited, it is called the "naughty game", he knows that it is a game and he knows why it is"naughty" to play!!!
but ive got to say, he doesnt go around doin people in, he likes to wander around the vast city, looking for hidden packages!!!
p.s. the wife totally disagrees!!
martin
p.p.s. he found the helicopter on the roof of the bizzie station, that blew me away the first time i went for a flight over the city!!
