Great
You can tell by the cover of Gears of War that it is going to be very violent. Even though this game is great the realistic violence is very intense and very gory. At some points you get a chainsaw to cut up your foes. s**t, and the F word are said.

Very good. One of the best games I have.
This game is very fun, but it is pretty intense. When I find a dead body of one of the COG's, there is blood splattered everywhere. And the language is pretty foul. I only heard the f-word like twice and there is an occasional s-word and d-word with there alternatives. Also there is an in-game filter where you can turn of the gore and language.

Fun
The game has some violence but is appropriate for many adolescents. Some gore here and there but thats it.

Awesome Game!
Great 3rd person shooter. It's not that hard to play, but don't make it your first shooter. The language includes the F word, S word, and other smaller profanities.

Brutal, fun and smashing game!!!!
Love all gears of war brands and games out there, but it is kinda gory and has not too kind language. I`d think it is for mature gamer`s such as myself, even though im 9, but I have my mature humor and ways.

The differences in gears of war 1 and 2
This game is bloodier than Gears of War 2 but not any gorier. If you played Gears of War 2 you might notice that there is a filter for both language and gore. But in gears of war you filter both. The game is a bit harder than gears of war 2 and gets frustrating at times but it is still a great game.

why i think kids 11 and older should play "gears of war".
I love "Gears of war" i think only kids of the age of 11 or older should play it. I am an 11 year old so why do you ask that i think kids of 11 or older should play "Gears of war" because i have sisters that i don't like playing it because they cry around when they die.

No Detail Spared
Set in the apocalyptic ruins of human society, the futuristic "Gears" soldiers are tasked with ridding the Earth of the Locust Horde. The horde is bloody, strong, and smart. The enemies are difficult to take down, and small squad tactics are essential. Rolls, SWAT turns, and more can be used to give you the advantage. Futuristic human weapons or brutal human weapon spinoffs from the Locusts can be used. Your main weapon, the Lancer Assault Rife is your best friend. The weapons are diverse, the levels hard. The bad part: ridiculous gore. I almost threw up the first time I played. Enemies are torn to pieces by gunfire and lie in bloody, disfigured piles. Gore is all over. There even is an attached chainsaw on the Lancer for close quarters. Personally, I don't recommend it for its unreliability, but upon use, your enemies has muscle spasms while being ripped apart. There is a filter, but you better be prepared. Good game if you can take it.

A great game for all ages.
This game teaches children at an early age how hard life can be, and also how to survive an apocalypse. There's really nothing wrong with violence.
