Frontlines: Fuel of War (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Windows)
common sense media says
Futuristic military shooter is bloody for teens.
parents & educators say
- 60% say violence is an issue
- 60% say there are positive role models
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this is a futuristic military shooter. Using a variety of military implements, from rifles and pistols to rocket launchers and robotic drones, players will kill hundreds of enemy combatants in the campaign mode, perhaps even more online. Blood spurts from soldiers' bodies when they are struck by bullets, and they spin and flail rather realistically as they fall to the ground. Plenty of curse words are heard between missions as allied soldiers talk about current events and upcoming objectives, though the script stops short of extreme profanity. There is no sexuality, nor any use of controlled substances.
Educational value:
Not applicable.
Violence:
Game play consists almost entirely of attacking enemy soldiers with a variety of futuristic rifles, handguns, grenades, and remote control drones. Blood is seen spurting from bodies upon the impact of bullets.

Frontlines fuel of war takes place in the fututre. So you blast away your enemys with future weapons although it isnt very bloody at all. but it can be a little intense and sad at times like on one misson you need to stop a nuke and at the end of the misson my hole team including me got blown up. so im pretty sure that your a different guy in the next misson.

FOR THE LOVE OF CAPTAIN KURK AND MY UNDERPANTS, THIS GAME SHOULD BE TREATED AS YOU WOULD A FAT MANATEE: THROW APPLES AT IT UNTIL IT EXPLODES AND YOU LOSE THE GAME.
TO FIND OUT MY TRUE REVIEW OF THIS GAME, BUY A SACK OF POTATOES, AND HIT YOUR LEAST FRIENDS FAVORITE SUPER HERO WITH IT. ASK HIM WHAT HE/SHE/PANDA THINKS OF PLATYPUSES, AND WHAT THE SQUARE ROOT OF -5 IS. TAKE THIS SHAPE TO THE MOUTH OF A VERY OLD CAVE THAT SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN WII FIT BALANCE BOARDS. SCREAM OUT 'bob barker is not a bowle of cearael.' AS LOUD AS YOU CAN. YELL OUT, 83 ALSO, AND THEN THE ANSWER IS THE 22TH THING YOU THINK OF AFTER THE MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU ASK FOR A DENTIST WHOS NAME IS NED.

REALLY I GOT THIS GAME WHEN I WUZ 11! AND MY PARENTS THOUGHT I WASNT GONNA BE HAPPY WITH IT BECAUSE IT DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH VIOLENCE. i no violence is bad but u wanna know y kids play these games? its brcause we cant do this in real life and some times our life sucks and we want a way into a life where all that doesnt matter. so we take it out by pushing a button and watching pixels hit other pixels. WUTS wrong with that?!

okay for 11 up.
i guess you could say that this game is all about WAR. Well if your think so then you are sadly mistaken.This game is not about killing people.First you need to no the plot, that may change a lot.This is not about killing people with guns.It's not about shooting guns.Your review is the best review. So you should see for your self and look at he/she and the way the game turns out you'll be amazed at the story it's a very stange one but still amazing graphics and nothin much to warry about.

This game is really fun. I haven't completed it yet (it hasn't been working resently on my laptop) but I still really like it (I will edit this review when I finish the game). Violence is pretty much like every first person shooter. Lots of explosions and gunfire. Dead enemies (bodies dont linger too long). Blood is kinda bad for a rated T (for teen) game. In a beginning cutscene a guy is shot and a fairly large amount of blood sprays from him. The pilot of the plain is also shot and the windshield gets splattered with blood. During gameplay there is a small amount of blood spray (up close it looks larger). The main concern about this game, however, is the language. This is the worst language I have ever heard in a rated T game. The s-word is used frequently (I heard it three times in a short cutscene), b--ch is used sometimes and other language used frequently in cutscenes is b-stard, h-ll, d-mn, and a--. Not any language that I heard during gameplay except for s--t every once in a while when your character is getting hurt. This game was very close to being rated M (for mature) but I still enjoy it a lot. teens and up should be allowed to play it

the game you are looking at is a really good one but it does have issues you need to no such as the wordis used,(uneeded croud pleasing) and a** as well,
really good and under 11 year old might fined it hard to take because it all about war and how it's not good and serviurl not about war about family...12 or 11 up is fine i think,it was a really good game and your mother or father should no by my review that it's all right for 11 or 12 up no joke........you might want to "PAUSE: Know your child, some content may not be right for some kids"thats good. (by the way if your child asks for god of war say NO OFF: Not age appropriate for kids this age it yuck guts and more guts not good for the kid to play games like this gears of war and stuff yuck)

Great game
Blood and occasional blood splatter, the language can be very bad! But the game is fun. And the game is about a time where we run out of oil, the game has mature themes.
