Great game.
If the violence is to bad. Turn the gore off. This game is very impressive. Great graphics. A good role model, who only fights for peace and family. And another, who treats his comrades like family. If WW3 does happen... These brave men is who you should look to.

Very gory.
This game is kind of like the first one gore and language wise. There is a filter to take out the gore and language like the first one.

Adults!
Gears of war 2 isn't as good as the first only because Epic Games over did it. When I say over did it I mean that it is way to violent! This game is one of the first games I have found to be brutal. Super Super gory, disturbing, along with tons of swear words such as: the F word, and sh*t. The story is okay, but Gears of War 2 is not even as close to as good as the first game.

I have only played this game several times and have loved it. I do feel that its unfair that it's called to bloody and has language. Yes, there is a lot of that, but unlike other M games you have the option to turn all of it off. Wether it be with the counsoles family settings or your conscience it can be removed.

turn off gore and swearing before your kids begin.
My dad plays this game in front of me. Based on there review you'd expect an x-rated game, its not when my younger brother,age 10, wanted to play my dad went to the menu and turned of the strong swear words and gore. making it fine.

The Filters
The game is super bloody and gory and the swear not as much as you might think.When you put the filter on for swearing you hear radio static.And when you filter the blood and gore either nothing comes out of the bodie or sparks fly with the chainsaw.

NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ANY KID
I love it, but it is in no way appropriate for me or anyone near my age (14). When walking into a laser like fence or being hit close with a shotgun, you basically explode. No like fireworks, but your blood and guts fly across the vicinity of your death. Your bloody limbs are then lying on the ground waiting for people to walk on. You can also chainsaw peoples chests open and have their blood and guts appear all over the screen. The story mode has tons of nasty suppress. A main character casually shoots his head clean off for no apparent reason, and husband shoots his crazy wife etc. There is also a ton of swear words not appropriate for kids to listen too that frequently. When you "down" and opponent, you walk over to them as they lay dying on the ground waiting for a team mate to save them or die from their wound. You step on their faces half of the time, and other beat them with your gun. Over all not for kids at all.

PERFECT FOR PRETEENS +
This is really quite a good game for kids 12 and over. I watched my kid play it and I was going to say no way. Then my kid found out you can turn the gory settings off so I said to my kid you can play it as long as gory and language is turned off.
