This is a fun game for all ages not too much blood and gore and no bad language or sex either.

I think i first played this game when i was 9 or 10

my 6 year old brother plays it there is barely any blood in it and the violence isn't bad at all

what i dont get is how this game got 14+ and the movies got 10+. While there is a lot of battle-violence, its against very dark orcs which arent nearly as creepy as in the movies. i know a 6-year old who plays it and isnt scarred at all by it. Overall, it is very cool game for preetens.

This is one of the best games ever (one level has black blood from orcs) okay for kids 7+.

This is a great action game, and it captures the spirit of the lord of the rings battles well, but don't expect the same kind of thing as the movie.

This is through and through the best game based on a movie ever. Most games based on movies are horrible but this one is hard and fun.This game is good for 11+.

Return of the King is further proof that with some real effort on the part of the developer, movie-based video games can really be quite entertaining. This is a hack-and-slash (similar to, though more in-depth than Dynasty Warriors, for those of you familiar with that game). Like most in the genre, it gets a little repetitive after a while, though certainly still bearable. Like I said, there's more depth here than typically found (though dissapointingly less than the Two Towers game) with meaningful combos and intuitive controls. The only game issue I have is the fact that the difficulty level tends to flip-flop a lot. Sometimes it's really easy, and sometimes it can get maddeningly frustrating. Approrpiateness-wise, there's a good amount of medieval swordplay violence, a little less worse than that found in the movies, so if you've seen those and are okay with it, you'll be fine here. Nothing else otherwise.

This is a great game. I think it should have a blood warning on the back of the game. I'm not sure, but it looks like blood comes out whenever you hit someone.

This game is real cool, and addictive. Fight as any of the Fellowship characters (except Borimir, replaced with Farimir) and fight the King of the Dead, defeat the Nazgul King, and ultimatly, go to Mount Doom and fullfill the quest. This game might have violence and a bit of blood, but who wants to turn down one of EA's best for that????????

Good game... If only it had more context instead of violence.

There is a lot of violence in this game but that's the only thing to question. Otherwise this is a very well put together game with morals.

Three thumbs up, much smoother and more realistic graphics than Two Towers

The fellow that reviewed this game was right that it was a great improvement over the previous game, "The Two Towers", but this game does not contain ANY "graphic violence". I think a younger child could handle most of the violence, though a little child wouldn't enjoy the game. No sex, cussing, crude jokes or anything. I would say definitely that this game is reccomended for ages 9 and up.
