As unbiased as I try to be, I have to say: No Kids?! Seriously?! With all due respect, I believe this game was seriously misjudged. This is coming from someone that understands the importance of keeping certain games from kids as I'm not allowed to play M games. I agree with Goldendrummer's review below. This game is like Grand Theft Auto without the drugs, sex, and whatever makes that game M. This is an average rated "T" shooter.

For those of you parents out there, this game isn't what you'd think. CSM rates the violence and message at the red level. Also, on extremely bloody and terrible games, they have given them the red. There is a reason this game was rated T. There is no blood, just constant shooting. The events result because of your actions. You must choose between different factions. Sometimes you must do dirty work for them against other friendly factions. You have the choice to become friends with other factions, but you must stay friendly to the Americans. Yes, you are paid for the things you destroy and the people you kill or take into custody. You can hijack cars from just about anyone. You can destroy anything and kill anything. The thing is, if you kill a friendly or civilian, you lose your cash. To sum up, this game is rated T and should still be treated that way. The whole game basically revolves around choice and what actions you take. Don't shut this game out. There are plenty of games that are worse than this.

Okay, well i'm gonna start by saying, you are a mercenary. You will do anything anyone will tell you for the right price. So, that pretty much says it all. You go around helping out well.. whoever! Pays you enough money to get the job done. blow up buildings kill or capture enemies, probably the most open world for ps2! You can kill anyone as you please, but you could get introuble for it. Say for example, you kill a random civilian, you will have to pay a fine. However I have realized that you can kill anyone with this melee attack. lock 'em up, and leave them handcuffed to the ground. Some unwanted language flying around like H*** and one of the guys will yell out a frustrated D*** if something doesn't go the way he wants. Like it says on the case, "Playground of Destruction." Great fun, but might want to be a little careful.

a strong game with alot of violance for profit an sweet game when you get passed the anomated violance. its fun to pass time and an easey one to play.

This game is great. Although you kill many people, not for a cause just to get a quick buck,the game isnt exactly violent, you dont realy get close up to kill, and your enemys dont scream unless you shoot them in a non-leatal area, like the leg.

I lke this game but first of all i played the ps2 version which is the same story. I think the game has some voilence in but the way people look at this game makes me angry. I cant people say this is not for kids when kids are playing shooter games just like this but a lot more voilent. First it is no where near Grand Thef Auto. Second all you do is run around making contracts with people saying you wont kill them and there is no blood. This game is perfect for kids who understand killing is bad.
