This game is okay age-appropriate-wise but i have no clue why you would want to play it. The controls are poor and really the combat system is lacking in RTS elements. Why CSM insists on suggesting poor games is beyond me. If you're looking for a game for kids 12+ go with something amazing like Uncharted 1 or 2. Honestly i'm not sure why i come to this site sometimes, their recommendation/alternatives are poor at best most times.
