Very Fun & Challenging
This is a Very Fun and Brain Teasing Game which is fun for all ages. Can be a Bit Tricky for Under 7 but besides from that should be a E no Violence maybe uses words like 'Hell' but nothing they wouldn't hear anywhere else.

Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!
This is a must-buy for any puzzle and comedy fans. The puzzles are hard but not hard enough to let you give up. The comedy is the best I have seen in ANY game AND movie. Each chapter I played I had to get off the computer and I had literally had to force myself to stop laughing. This game also states that even if you're adopted that you can be the best at what you do. The bad guys *spoiler* even learns a lesson that with great power comes great responsibility *end spoiler*. One thing is the language the world 'bloody' are commonly used. 'O my god' can also be heard multiple times. D*mn is used 2 times and 'hell' about 3 times. Also GLaDOS in the beginning insults you heavily. Another part is where GLaDOS screams. But you can hear she has pain. It was so bad it send shivers down my spine. But aside from that is i FANTASTIC.
BEST VALVE GAME EVER. A must-buy.

Messages: 3/5- There’s a lot of talk of killing in this game. Both main characters attempt to kill you throughout the game and talk about it in violent ways. But by the end, things change, and you work together.
Violence: 2/5- You can get mashed by “mashy spike plates,” killed by poison gas, and shot by automatic turrets.
Sex: 0/5- Nothing.
Language: 1/5- Mild language, such as d-mn and h-ll, throughout.
Overall: Portal 2 is one of the greatest games ever made. It has a great story, amazing dialogue and fantastically crafted characters. It has a slightly disturbing and creepy atmosphere, and the ambient music perfects this. The game has an increasingly interesting and strange story, until the breathtaking, epic finale. After the 10-12 hour single player game is over, you can continue the story with co-op mode. Portal 2 is unbelievably good. Ages 11 and up should be ok, because of the mild language, creepy atmosphere and mild violence. (and sheer epicness) :D

Much more appropriate than other VALVe titles.
Given a lot of of VALVe titles are M, this is much different.
Your only real concern is the launguage. And while it is VERY MILD, it would be a slight concern if you have younger kids.
You may have noticed I picked "Good role models". Why I say this is because both Robot characters show regret thier threatening behaviour (GLaDOS realises that she should have done the easy option of letting you go, and wheatley wishes he could "Say Sorry" to Chell.). The exception are the turrets, although in one cutscene, they don't shoot you.

Perfect game for tweens in need of something new
This game is amazing. Each character is developed and expressive, and even if they're robots, they have more personality than many human characters in other games. The puzzles are challenging but never frustrating, and you have as long as you need to complete them without any interruptions (although to keep him in-character, Wheatley will make impaitient remarks from time to time during his tests. These are purely for comedy and don't add any pressure at all). The ending blew me away. Never before have I felt such a mix of satisfaction and sadness.

Just don't play it if you've adopted ANYONE.
At the moment, in the giant place called the United States of America, there's a controversy going on, over some raging dad about Wheatley's insults. If you don't know, Wheatley is the core you see in the beginning of the game. He says "adopted fatty" but the stupid news show reporting it, didn't even go to what GLaDOS, your "enemy", said after that.
Anyway, the game is good. It makes you think, but it is NOT educational! The only violence is turrets shooting you. The game has blood, yes, but it is hardly noticed while you and/or your child is enjoying the game.
The game has a dark but good sense of comedy. The characters do not say any major profanities.
If you're really concerned, I'd just recommend playing the co-op/multiplayer mode.

A perfect puzzle game
This game is perfect for most people. It involves thinking, and problem solving skills, your child will REALLY use his brain during the majority of these puzzles. The game can seem somewhat dark at times. Mostly because of the robot antagonist GladOs. If you have two kids, they can play a co-operative campaign, and learn teamwork skills. There is some language, but nothing serious. The words D*mn and H*ll are present, but nothing else.

A wonderful game
This game is so much fun and at some points challenging. All you have to do is solve puzzles. There is no killing, accept there are turrets in some puzzles that shoot at your character. As you go on the puzzles get harder. Not much bad language only bad words are H*** and d****, I truly thought it was could be just as good without say them. The co-op super fun, you have work as a team or else you’re not going to get very far. The online is the same thing like co-op but not having a split-screen. I don’t know who really cares about graphics but this game has some good graphics.

Not a gamer
This game is fun but, hard to play at some parts so that's why I give it ON for 9. There is nothing at all violent or sexy in this game so the only problem is how hard it can be at some parts. The reason for that is probably because I'm not a gamer. :) so overall fun and family friendly game.

I think we can put our differences behind us...for science.
I'm making a note here. This game is a huge success. My 7 year old son and I have played the cooperative game together and have loved it! I can hardly believe how quickly he figures out how to solve the puzzles. He really gets a kick out of being "the leader" and formulating plans to get to the exit. All kids think differently so it may not be for all 7 year olds but for mine, it's been great! This game is a great opportunity for bonding :)
