    Recommended for teens and some tweens

    It's a great game I don't understand why this game was given a 17+ rating. I have not seen any blood in this game since I purchased it for my two sons a few months ago. This is an appropriate game for ages ten and up, but I would not allow anyone under that age to play the game. Again, there are far worse games our kids could be playing than this futuristic shooter.

    just fine for mid teens

    i like halo 3, its a fun game. the violence is NOT out of hand. it is going to be violent in action no matter what. after all, it IS a first person shooter. what shooter doesnt involve violence? anyway, its not bad, you just shoot aliens pretty much. the videos are kinda corny and make me laugh, but i think that adds to the charm of halo. i recommend this game to 15 and above, mostly because it depends on the maturity of the child. if they're mature enough to play it before 15, then that's great.

    Great game! The game is not realistic, and there is very little human blood but a decent amount of alien blood. There is some strong language but it is rarely used. Great game for 'couch co-op' or playing with friends online

    Halo 3 is the third (and best I think) game in the halo franchise, it seems to be advertising other halo products. The game is violent with lots of blodd and some bad language (a*s, sh*t, d*mn, hell) but the game isn't that bad, i can see why it's rated M but it could pass for a very grusome T game!

    Its perfect from young teens to seniors

    Seriously CSM overdoes their reviews. Heck, I think they'd give Barney an off for 15 and up. I'm not saying you should let your 7 year old play this but the game really isn't that bad compared to the other games on the market right now. The in Mark's Review for this game what he means by "graphic blood" really means barely any blood and if any it's unrealistic and in small amounts. The game really is a heroic message. It's not like Grand Theft Auto where every button you push is a bad decision. There are very sci-fi ish weapons and some fairly realistic weapons. But seriously, I don't think this game is a bad message because I don't think there will be any alien war soon. The worst thing about that game is that players are free to say whatever they want when playing on XBOX Live. But It's not like it's the end of the world. Players can silence them if they wish. CSM needs to get their employees trained better because if I was the boss of whoever wrote that review they would be fired.

    Okay for mature tweens.

    Parents, I know you think this is a extremely violent and gory game, but it's not. Halo 3 tells a story of courage and bravery, as you play as a soldier trying to ward off an alien invasion. Many people in it are sacrificing everything they have, so why CSM hates this game is beyond me. The violence isn't too bad. You're fighting aliens with multiclored blood, and I don't know what ESRB meant by gore. The Indiana Jones movies are 3 times as gory.Half the time you're using Star Wars type weapons. The language is just a bit of moderate cursing nothing that bad. Overall, if you were to make this into a movie, it would be pg-13. The violence isn't graphic or gory, and all the role models and messenges are very good.

    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate language

    Overhyped M rating dilutes the entire rating system purpose

    The much-vaunted M rating is a good example of why many parents disregard the rating system completely. Media hysteria causing lumping Halo 3 in the same category as the GTA games or even Half-Life 2 series dilutes the entire purpose of a rating system, bringing us back to square one with confused parents who let their kids play anything. My kids (7 and 10) play Halo 3, they do not play GTA or HL2, for example. This game is a great bonding opportunity since if features split-screen co-op, one of only a handful of titles that do. It's brought many enjoyable hours to our household. BUT I only let them play it after I'd played it myself, and the first time through, I played it with them. As always, parents should exercise judgment: I'm pretty sure the near-cartoonish mock-violence is not going to turn my two into serial killers. (Who believes that anyway?) Final note: I'm talking about offline play only. I don't believe my 10 year old should be venturing into the online wilderness for a good few years yet.

  10. I rate this title on for age 13 and give it 5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate language

    Should have been rated T

    People complain that there is too much blood and gore in Halo. It's fake. Get over it. And from what I remember, I didn't see all that much blood in Halo 3. There were quite a few curse words however. There is a lot of violence. I think teens could handle this game. They are mature enough to handle the violence. I guarantee you no one in their right mind will go off to kill someone just because they played this game. Teens know that. A good game. Teens can play it. The end SIDE NOTE: What is this? "You're a hero trying to save the world from a malevolent alien race, but you do it by using extreme force." If a bunch of hostile aliens are trying to kill us off, what are you going to do, sit down and have dinner with them? NO, you're going to fight them off. Not to mention this is a VIDEO GAME. Not a diplomatic simulator.

    A kick ass game that is way to fun and hard to stop playing unless, your the kind of parent you'd find getting parenting advice from Jon and Kate plus 8, your kids need to see some violence or else they'll grow up to be peace loving hippies, so let them play violent games. My only advice for online play, is play with no volume or mute the other players in the pre-game lobby.

    all together, a great finish to a very good series. a little to violent for younger kids. there is a wide selection of guns, including machine guns, rifles, shotguns (quite messy) rocket launchers, laser beams, flame throwers, and spikers, (alien guns that shower enemy's with needles) one video clip shows a main character getting gored in the back by spikes. not for younger kids, but fun for mature players

    Its okay!!!! PARENTS PLEASE READ THIS!!!!!!

    Listen, this game may be pretty violent but I've seen T games that are worse. The blood is nothing more than very small splats on the floor and walls and the "gore" is the flood (Space zombies) that break apart after "meleeing" (Hitting) them. Not much swearing at all in campaign and when there is its very moderate. The real problem is Xbox LIVE. Parents if your child gets Xbox LIVE set the parental settings so that they can only talk to friends if they are under 16.

    It almost appears that Marc did not play Halo 3 at all, or at best is extremely unobservant

    While reading the "What parents need to know" (I am currently trying to find a good reviewing site for games and movies I have not played) section of the review on Halo 3 it struck me that Marc was very wrong on a few points, and this may cause kids to miss out. First, Marc said: "Throughout the game, players shoot aliens AND HUMANS. You DO NOT shoot humans* in the campaign. It is possible, but if you do the marines attack you, as you are not supposed to attack them. ...and they'll see vivid images with blood. While playing campaign on Halo, if you shoot an alien, there is blood. Blue/Green blood, and that actually doesn't just pour out after you finish shooting. Also, there is zero dismembering/actual damage to dead bodies. And know that when the Halo games are played online, players can communicate -- and curse -- via headsets. Depending on your gamer zone on xbox live, there is generally very little swearing. But, if you so wish you may mute players (only to yourself) in games, or simply plug in a headset and turn the speech volume off. *Actually, in multiplayer, you do by default play as a human (albeit, a human in a suit that you only know is a human, there is no face, just metal) but if you so wish you can turn into one of the aliens (Sangheili, or Elites to be exact, the Arbiter is an example of this species, they have defected to humanities side) and fight that way. For overprotective parents who fear xbox live like a dangerous animal, you do not have to play on xbox live to play multiplayer, or the game at all. Also, as long as your child does not act stupid, no one will ever be able to access their real name, location, phone number, email address (phone number and email are needed to register for xbox live, but are not shown to the public) or even what they sound like. If you seriously look at the characters of Halo 3, you will find numerous good role models. Even John 117, Master Chief Petty officer, the soldier whose face is never shown, is extremely dedicated to the service of humanity. He is courteous, and many times goes out of his way and puts himself in danger to rescue his friends, in particular Sergeant Johnson. Parents, almost every concern you have about Halo 3 will be dispelled upon actually investigating by playing the game and reading about it yourself. If it weren't for a very few uses of b***ard and b**ch Halo 3 would be rated teen.

    Addicting FPS

    A fun game, pretty hard, but fun nonetheless. There is a fare amount of blood throughout the game, but not disturbing at all. Mild language, with d*** and h*** used commonly. There is plenty of violence of course, but younger players could probably handle the campaign because it is against aliens, but they do have human-like qualities.

    Just right for 10, 11+ year olds.

    This is the best halo game yet! The constantly said theme in this game is that you're a giant human super-soldier trying to save all of humanity from an alien alliance. It is very easy to play, and probably the least vulgar of the series. Halo 3 is very violent to an almost ubsurdly extreme extent, and there is alien and human blood that splatters. The language is no problem at all, and is very mild.

    Tweens and up are just fine

    I gotta say...this reviewer went overboard. He gave it a 4 star rating for violence. I would have to say 3 AT THE MOST. 1 for having violence, 2 for guns, 3 for small blood spattering. Language I would put at a 1 star because it's not all that present in the game. Violence/Blood is neither excessive nor graphic. In multiplayer, for example, if you shoot someone in the head and it kills them, you'll see some blood spatter on the wall behind them, nothing worse in the ENTIRE GAME. The game is less than semi-realistic in terms of violence/blood. It's rediculous that this game is rated M, where you have to be 17 to purchase it. I'm not saying that because I want it, I have it, my parents have little problem with it. I'm saying this because it not only derides the significance of an M rating, but there are PG-13 movies out there which are much, much, much more violent. The entire "Bourne" trilogy ("identity", "Ultimatum", ect") is INFINITELY times more violent than this game, and you could have legally bought a ticket for that at age 13, shows you how inconsistent the ratings system is. in terms of what I think of the game...it's a perfectly balanced first-person shooter designed as a multiplayer game, there are much better games out there, in terms of single-player/story and multiplayer, but it's also one of those games that everyone seems to have, and is fun to play with friends once in a while.

    Honestly this is a fantastic game. But one factor ruins it. The online, no not the online system but the online community. If you go on youtube and just search you'll get just a bunch annoying kids talking trash and whining over xbox live. When your kids get a little more mature they won't cause grief to older players.

    Amazing alien first-person shooter.

    First of all, I want to say that this is an amaizng game. A must-buy for the Xbox. The problem is, there is a TON of violence. There's no that mush blood, except for occasional squirts of neon-blue alien blood. Language could become an issue. Occasional d**n, phrases like "Give 'em h***" and some ba****ds. This is also a game made for playing online, and chat is essential to victory. Your kids might here some colorful language. The scariest part of this game is The Flood, an alien race that take over peoples' brains and make them all mutated and gory. Bleed excessively, of course.

    The biggest worry about this game is that some parents let their frieken 8 year olds play this. An 8 year old is not very mature so he might grab a real gun and start shooting. But I know when you start maturing, you start maturing at 11 and 12. Not as bad as other games.

    Halo 3 Should Be Rated T; A MUST HAVE

    If you own an Xbox 360, Halo 3 is a MUST HAVE. It's a classic xbox game, and it is really fun. The campaign is fun and multiplayer and online play are even better. As for parental concerns, this game shouldn't be rated M. I, along with many other people would say this game should be rated T. The violence is limited to shooting aliens in campaign and seeing a little bit of purple and different color blood come out. In online gameplay, no blood or gore at all. People just fall over when shot. No swearing, drugs/alcohol, or any other concerns. I'd give it a 12 years old +.

    I think that Halo is ok for a mature 9 year old. I own this game and recieved it from my parents when I was 10. I think it's a great game but, (some people won't agree with this) the violence is more on the bad side than the good.

    No xbox live for under 12

    Halo is a great game. I think it is outrageous that it is M for mature because their is a little cursing (unless you are on xbox live) and the alien blood is PURPLE big deal. You are killing aliens that are trying to take over the galaxy so who cares about purple blood. But honestly if you have xbox live your kid shouldn't play it because he will encounter a 11 year old kid cursing you off in a high pitched voice which is really annoying.

    ive been playing the halo series since i was 5 (or was it 4?) when if first saw the first halo game i was scared of it.but when i played it,i had fun and so on until the halo3 was out.so far in halo3 i finished the campaign on legendary on solo but since i almost finished the game(900-1000 gs) it got boring and started playing new games.i played some old halo games for a blast from the past.since there now scratched and broken.ive decided to do other stuff like going to other places.ive been playing halo trilogy for 7 years now i think its time to but it down for me. all iwanted was to show the world that im the youngest halo player.if anyone here played halo when they were 3 to 4(even though thats seemingly impossible)speak up now of how you started playing halo.Ps:i made this account mostly to tell the world im or one of the youngest halo players.

The gore isn't really gore. the alien's blood is either blue or orange. It's definitly a shoot em' up type of game but, not other humans. The language isn't anything to worry about. Online wise, most players take this game to seriusly and cuss a stream. I'm against cussing and the players online use it exclusivly. Although, there is a very usefull MUTE ALL option which mutes all players with a mike.

    I rate this title on for age 8 and give it 5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate language

    • My highlights are:
    • Safety isn't an issue
    • Easy to play

    Best Game Ever !!!

    This game has no point in being rated M I think it should be rated T
