prototype:desctruction royale
ok this is an AWESOME game...however it is extremely gory and bloody.they say f*ck and sh*t ALOT and the main character alex mercer is uncaring and brutally destroys everything just to find out who made him into a monster.however, if your child is 'emo' like me or even 'goth' they will love it. and most emos and goths have seen gory things anyway because its the kind of thing we like...and alex is pretty much an emo even though he doesnt dress the part. so it just depends on how mature your kid is and if they panic when they see blood DO NOT GET IT FOR THEM because blood is the most common thing you see in this game.

A good but, violent superpower game!
Prototype is a very violent game. Very gory, body parts fly every where. You can kill civilian's and your foe's. F--k,sh-t, is said. I think it is a fine game, but not so great for some people. My friend got sick after playing the first few seconds. Its fun but really gross sometime.

Truth
Walk up to any girl who likes it and ask them why they like it. The answer will always be "because Alex is hot" I'm guilty of this.

Just fine
I love this game, but it is the most gory game I have played I still consider it a good game, fine for 14/15+.

Fun game but procede with caution
This is a extremely fun game in which you get to take on the city of New York with super powers. Although it is very fun it is very violent, and a very negative plot. So before allowing you kid to play make sure he understands the plot and the problems with the game.

Not that good,but still deserving of four stars.
Not extreme by much,since it happens just at every stop,your kids will soon just learn to get used to it.if you can't get used to a bit of violence in the world,you never will grow up .i play this game at least six seven hours every day for the past two years(I got it in 2009 when it came out)and I don't get violent I don't get into fights though I do get intro arguments and curse at times but these are very seldom and almost not at all.if your kids want to play just let them play.

Good gory game
This is the goriest game i have ever played. The language is also terrible. No matter what happens you will hear the f word in every mission. It is a fun game, but Alex, the guy you play as, will never be a good model for anybody. Strictly because you can kill thousands of people in the game. There are also many trophies or achievements in the game that reward you for the ways you kill people. Not for any kids under 16.

gory and young kids should't see or play it
a very violent game with gore. you can cut people in half,punch holes into people kill zombie like creatures,shootings and explosions. this game is easy to play excatly the same as hulk ultmate distruction. infrequent uses of the f-word and milder stuff(mostly infrequent). shootings aren't very gory but cutting people in half and stuff like that are gory but when you cut someone in half its just red. most kids now just watch and play anything so 11+. by the way its quite hard including the final boss battle so young kids won't be able to play it.

Only a child can say if its really innapropriate
The game has a lot of cursing (not an issue) and a lot of gore (also not an issue) this makes the game FUN. If the game was any different it wouldn't have been as amazing as it is. I think its appropriate for anyone who says they can handle it.

The main charecter is a terrible person
The main problem with this game is that the main charecter is extremely selfish and doesnt care who dies as long as he find out who he is and gets "revenge" on whoever gave him these great powers, even though it seems like he should be thanking them. It is an extremely gory but to me it seems like the violence is unrealistic and comic book like, which makes it a whole lot worse. It is very easy to play, the controls are simple and it is almost impossible to die with how good your powers are, and it is awsome for stress releif

Extreme says it all
This is an OK game all around. It is a solid game overall. Expect tons of extreme violence and gore and very strong language throughout.

Well if you like gore...
This game is violent. You take on the role of Alex Mercer a man who doesn't care who dies as long as he gets what he wants. Not a positive guy. And you will be able to mutate your limbs into claws and blades and slice people in half horizontally, vertically and diagonally! And the character you play as couldn't care less! If your child's mature then fine (although most of the people I know aren't) and you will have fun. Oh and the only thing you can do in this game is kill people, everyone you see on screen can be sliced, shot, ripped apart and smashed into the ground. And the game is about a lethal virus sweeping through New York city. Not a nice subject if you ask me.

Extreme Gore
This game is by far the goriest I have played, Using claws you can literally chop people in half, Decapitation and dismemberment and every form of violence. Blood is maximised. Language is moderate for a 15. Never buy this for kids. Its disturbingly gory.

Ok for anyone
The only problem I found was in the storyline, if you avoid it completely and just free-roam. The game would be rated Teen, Only other problem is the language

Gorey goodness is all around, so choose wisely.
This game is fun. Oh man, I find myself not even wanting to go do a mission because I'm far too busy tearing down a military base or destroying a infected hive. Gore is abundant. Very abundant. It's all over the place, but I just can't get enough of it. It appeals to my interests, and I imagine to a great and vast audience of guys 12+. Now, Alex Mercer's cold and yes, he's uncaring. This is all due to his amnesia and the Blacklight virus lurking within him. He does show some degree of caring, as he rescues his sister and aspires to keep anyone else from ending up like him. Gameplay is easy to pick up and extremely fun. It's up to the parents to decide if this is too gorey or not, but it's fun, and if your kid's more mature, then let 'em go to it, and blow up a tank or five.
