This game is kind of violent. The only level I thought was cool was the first level. Some parts of it are unrealistic, like if a German dies you can walk right through him. The weapon sounds are so boring. I have to admit, the sniping is fun. I said it's just ok because when I just want to quit something cool happens. There is one level where there's a lot of suspense. In my opinion, don't get it, but if you really want it, buy it.

What Parents Need to Know
About Call of Duty: Finest Hour
Parents need to know this game is presented as a serious treatment of the Allied foot soldiers who fought the Germans in World War II. And while players are presented with real and realistic photos and footage from World War II, it's not long before they enter an artificial representation of real places and events, but kill hundreds of fake enemies.

Lives inI rate this title on for age 8 and give itA big let down
I t is a good series but this game was a let down. Violence: No blood but when you shoot someone it looks like blood but it’s just showing you that you hit them. Language: it says B*****d and b**ch a few times in the cinematic sequences. Social behaviour, drugs and sex: A man smokes a bit but not much. Message: always work as a team. It was an alright game recommend it 8 and up.

Great game
I have the computer version, and that game has blood, but it still really isn't that violent. The epicness of a couple of the stages (ex. Red Square, Berlin) makes this game phenominal. The only problem I have is the online could have been a little better and the storyline took me only about 7 hours to beat. Other than that, this game is great.
