Halo 3 is a very good game. It's not very tactical, but it's pretty easy to play. You'll get more and more skilled using the various weapons like grenades, rifles, shotguns, and energy swords. The blood is virtually invisible, it's so hard to see, you won't notice it. The story is much more easier to follow, and the plot and music track are no less than "epic". It can be hard at times, but the only truly thing you might want to consider is the virus called the Flood. It assimilates Brutes and humans into its own troops that attack you, animating corpses or injecting malignant proteins into friendly or enemy troops. The graphical quality isn't to high on characters, so the strange cancerous growths aren't to scary. When they are destroyed, some limbs may roll around, possibly human, but the graphics are so poor on Flood, it's pretty much a joke. The multiplayer action is as good as its predecessors and the new Forge mode allows you to edit preexisting maps. A Cinema mode also allows you to view your games in a video player like mode with free camera and speed control options. Campaign, Multiplayer, and Forge Sessions can all be viewed in Cinema. If you like to blast through troops with exotic weapons and save people while you're at it, this is for you.

not bad or violent at all except force really mild profanity should not be rated m

best game ive ever played im a huge fan of this game and i collect many things halo so all i have to say get it.

Its pretty good but is violent and has some swear words.

I am 10 and very mature for my age. I think Halo 3 is fine for 10 and up as long as they can understand that killing is wrong. There is a little bad language, but not enough to influnce kids.

i think its probobly fine for kids 10 and up because you shoot alians. it has no swearing and the only blood is alian blood (very little)

You people are too overprotective. Just tell your kids not to swear, and punish them if they do. Swearing is not bad for kids if they don't know what the words mean. My brother plays this game, and he has never sworn, has never been scared or disgusted by the game, and has never became violent. (He does get upset and throw tantrums, but he's always done that, since he was two). I think kids shouldnt play multiplayer untill they are around ten, but that is just because there is a lot more swearing online. The "blood" loogs like paint, and is green and blue.

This would be a good game if a 9 or ten year old kid wanted to get a M rated game. They barely swear and when they do you can barely hear it. Also, you are shooting evil aliens so thats better than shooting real people. When you kill an alien, you cannot see any blood.

I don't know how anybody could rate this game M. The blood isn't bad at all. I have seen worse in the T call of duty games. The cursing in those are also worse. It's a mystery to me how this game got rated M.
