Carbon is a very fun game. But parents need to watch out for some stuff. Before every race there will be a girl to indicate when to start. Most of the time they will be wearing some suggestive clothing such as halter tops. Violence is an issue to. Players will crash into police cars and total them, spike strips will be used as well as road blocks. When you are arrested it will show a short clip of police tackling the player. Sometimes the criminal will punch but the cop will always win. Which can be violent for kids even though the cops are doing the tackling. if your kid knows the rights and wrong about illegal street racing it is OK

M&M, at the start of the game there is a WARNING not to do ANYTHING that you see on the game.

If you actually look at the game before you get it, you know it is a street racing game, and part of street racing is cops and how to deal with them. The game has a video scene in the bigging that not only says don't do the things done in this game for safety reasons but also says that many of the things in the game are illegal. So if your kids can handle a video game a realize it is fake not real than they can play this game, I think the 10 plus rating is good, because most 10 year olds can tell real from fake and good from bad.
