What Parents Need to Know
About Saints Row
Parents need to know that this is a violent, graphic game intended for mature adults only. Characters are constantly killing each other, blowing things up, and cursing, and they engage in countless illegal activities like prostitution, drug dealing, assaults, and robberies. Players are rewarded for killing others by earning chains, clothing, and other items. Parents should be aware that there is also an online component via XBox Live.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why this game is inappropriate for kids. Since this game offers an open world to explore, families might talk about why such an environment is so appealing. Families can also talk about why so much effort goes into making violent, sexed-up games. Is it because escapism and raunchiness sells? Why or why not? Do you think it's desensitizing people to violence or does it have no effect?

Come ON Parents
Are you serious? Not that bad for kids! So you want your kids exposed to PROSTITUTION, drugs, and gangs! You may not have figured out how to access these h=features but your sons will. It is rated for adults for a reason. Use sommon sense, please!

This is a very fun game
I liked this game. It is a fun game, but children shouldn't play it, the language is horrible. It is up to the person playing to decide how much violence there is. There isn't that much sexual content, you can see whores, a lot of the women are scantily clad and there are some sexual references, but the violence and the language are the worst aspects of the game. You can also buy drugs and alchohol at the liquor store. But, I was surprised to see that the story was really interesting. I think the game is fine for people my age, but not for younger kids.
