Perfect for ages 12+
My son bought Borderlands the other day because all his friends had it. So while he was at school, i played it to see what it was about. Then i found that it is about 4 people who try to find gold and technolgy. I can't really find a fault in the game except that your child might play it alot but, hey thats normal.

ok
This gae is fine for mature 13-14 year olds to play. sure their is a little violence, but it isn't like these kids are now going to grow up and be mass terrorists when they grow up. hopefully this helps strict parents let their kids have a life and play vidio games.

 
i love the exploding sniper rifle my favorite weapon

Great game fine for 12 and up!!!!!!!
In the beggining i didnt want to let my 12 year old son have this but i tried it with him and it wasnt bad mainly because it was cartoon violence and it has a good plot not a lot of cussing would not recommend for 10 and under or kids who get really scared because it can get scary at some parts.

 
Borderlands a great FPS and RPG. Violence, OK the violence is a little rough. you can blow off bandits heads,cut mutated dogs with a machete. but its not something that will gross you out and not anything like Fallout 3. Language, There are are some F*** but not alot, the P**** word is really only used by Brick the huge one. and the are other words like D*** and S*** that are used throughout the game. nothing you dont hear on TV or at work/school. Really its a great game and not too bad for teens in my opinion.

this game is the best but it is not for kids 9 and under

 
Violent, but in a tongue-in-cheek, over-the-top, cartoonish, and silly way
I think the game is quite good, harking on many of the fun and rewarding game elements that I loved in the Diablo games back in the day, or that many people find in the World of Warcraft game, only with less online exposure. The game does have a bit of language, but nothing shocking or outrageous that a kid in their teens wouldn't face exposure to anywhere else. A curse here or there, nothing more. The violence, with decapitations, and body parts, and burning death screams, does sound quite gruesome on paper, but in practice, the caricature-ish manner in which the whole game, including the violence, is handled definitely reduces the impact. Even the human characters in the game are non-realistic enough to easily separate any tie to reality. I find Call of Duty to be much more suggestive in terms of violence. I wouldn't give this game to a kid under 10 or maybe 12, but any child in their teens, with enough supervision, should find a lot of safe enjoyment with Borderlands.

Fine for a older mature kid
I think that the game is perfect for kids 13+ and fine for mature 11+ kids, I do know there is a lot of gore as I have finished the game and almost finished the second playthrough, just don't get the zombie DLC with a lot of gore and it should be fine, the DLC should be for 16+ or mature 13+ teens. Also theres no F-bombs in this game but there is sh-t and pus-y, you see theres a confusion here, the bandits will some times say "Don't squeel when we cook you up!" that sounds like "Don't squeel when we fu-k you up!".

Just fine for tweens and older
I believe this game is fine for ages 12 and older. The blood is hardly a problem and language isn't very bad and can be muted when necessary.

If they are a teenager let them have the game.
This is a great game. There is plenty of blood and gore but for kids 13 and up I think it will be fine. Also, if your kid starts cursing after you get him/her the game you should confiscate the game.

The blood isn't a problem. The only "Bad" thing about Borderlands is the swearing. 12+ can play it.

It's fun but really violent
i bought it for Mac and it's really really fun. It's really gory and people get blown apart and dismembered. There is a lot of stuff that isn't age appropriate, like references to parts of the male body and a DLC called Mad Moxxi's Underdome which is a somewhat inappropriate.

Perfect for Tweens 12+
Borderlands has alot of violence in it but the blood looks kind've fake. the swearing is infrequent and not that bad it is pretty gory at times though. Borderlands is a fun game and i think its no worse than uncharted 2 or half-life 2 if you are 12 and up it should be okay.

Very Hard
I realy can't get intovthis game reveiw too much because I barely played it. I. Throughout the game I heard common swears, sex jokes, and ball jokes. The games violence is cartoonish but still gory as you blow off limbs and heads. The big promblem with this game is that bosses are nearly impossible. I got past the first one okay, but the second one was so hard, I spent hours intil I realized that this was wasting my time so I quit.

Borderlands
Borderlands is a fantastic game, and although your child will see a lot of violence and hear lots of bad language, it is not OTT things like black ops etc. Fine for 12+. Looking 4ward 2 borderlands 2!!!

Um im not quite sure what the word 'title' means, but that is what dictionarys are for!!
Parents need to understand that this is a video game, and should be treated as such.
