Forza Motorsport 4
Common Sense Media says
Excellent racing sim that's easy to play but has open chat.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Forza Motorsport 4 is a straightforward racing simulation. Players participate in several races and other events such as "hot lap" challenges to unlock more cars and boost their driver's experience. The game features crashes but the results are unrealistic, which could leave young kids with the impression that crashing isn't dangerous. The game is playable online with open chat, a feature Common Sense Media does not recommend to children under the age of 12.
What's it about?
FORZA MOTORSPORT 4 is a racing simulation where players get behind the wheel of countless cars and participate in races and world championships. After each event, players will gain driver experience and affinity points for manufacturer loyalty. Outside of World Career mode, an Autovista mode lets players explore cars more closely, while the multiplayer component allows players to race others online.
Is it any good?
Forza Motorsport 4 is a gorgeous, gratifying, and accessible racing game. The graphics are realistic and the variety in cars and tracks based on real locations around the world keep things fresh. But its flexibility with controls invites players of any skill level to enjoy and become enamored with sleek, speedy cars. Players can go from simply steering vehicles to taking full control, right down to fine tuning tire pressure and other specifications. Forza 4 is arguably the best racing title available.

my experience with the game
there is no violence besides crashing and there is no blood, cursing or fire but it can be a little hard it also teaches kids about flags and countries

Ok For Anyone
Forza 4 is a great game that is fine for anyone. If you don't want your kids to play online, then just cancel Xbox Live! If you don't want them to crash, encourage slow driving without opponents!
