I play this game and it doesn't encourage me to kill police officers to advance the plot except for the prison escape mission. You don't even need to kill cops. I go through most missions involving cops except for the jailbreak mission without killing a single cop. They aren't much of a concern and the game provides no bonus for killing "clean" cops. I say it like that because most cops are in the pocket of a major company, but most are just people trying to get their shift over so they can go home.
I always see adults buying there six year olds Grand Theft Auto which is CRAZY and not appropriate...so i though i would just see how crazy these type games are and so i bought my 13 year old son Saint Row 2 and 1 i was expecting it to be insanely inappropriate but i found it rather okay as long as your kids know its not okay to act that way then its fine. I was very worried when i got this for my 13 year old son and the nice people at gamestop told me that it was just as bad as Grand Theft Auto yet when i played saints row it was NOT BAD im not saying they didnt cuss but you can turn the sound down and its free roam which mean your child doesnt have to do the missions he can just drive around i say this is a safe game for childeren 12 and up but below that age it would not be appropriate!
So i give it a thumbs up!
This game is far less violent compared to Grand Theft Auto IV. Basically the entire game is like a toned down version of its counterpart. There is fare less swearing violence, nudity etc. I would recommend a teenager to play this over Grand Theft Auto any day.
This game is just one of the many games that feed the bad moral fires that bad parenting ensues. There are too many little kids that play these games. its sad...
portrays criminal behavior as normal Only appropriate for adults Lots of sex , drugs and prostitution + N-word and constant F bombing. Random violence on innocent people also if you know its a game and the no remorse is not the norm, its ok. no way for pre high school kids.
this game itself is sick, and the creators should be ashamed. But there are some advantages to the game..
If you are a moral person, you basically can have the perspective of "cleaning the city of gangs". Cop and pedestrian killing is there, and it gives you respect, but though it seems encouraged, its really not.
this game is not for kids AT ALL or, in my opinion, for anyone who thoroughly enjoys seeing innocents get killed in sadistic ways, as in people who laugh while it happens..
I play the game more for the gang killing..
As a twelve year old i play a LOT of M games this is one of the games that can be put off for kids under 12, my parents dont care what i play as long as i repeat or do anything thats in the game
For me the dad: I love playing the game...It is an outlet and I know what is fake and what is real
For my kids: Absolutely not.. I have told my son he can't even watch me play this game. I will let my son play COD and other shooters like that...But this and GTA are off limits at least until mid teens
Ah the beautiful sequel to the glorious Saints Row. My son and I love this game. 1: because you can customize your character more than the first one. 2. MORE WEAPONS! 3: Your guy can finally talk in this game. and 4: The main storyline is bigger and funner. I loved the first Saints Row, but I have to say Saints row 2 has the props.
I personally think that this game is one of the best games you can play. Some other members say that the game has "Too much sexual content, use of drugs, or foul language." But that is mostly because they have had a negative outlook on this game from the start. All you have to do is tell your children that they should not be looking up to the characters in the game and that what they do is very bad and anyone who does this will go to prison for a very long time so you should not try to rein-act the events in the game. And if they have played rated "M" games before then it's not like it's anything they haven't been exposed to before. I am just saying this because i was in their position a few times as a child and i know what it's like.
My son just turned 13 years old and for his birthday i got him this game. This game does have strippers and pole dancers in it, but there is no nudity at all. You can not get involved in sexual acts with the prostitutes on the street. The cussing in this game is nothing compared to GTA. You will mainly here your charactor cuss if he gets shot at. He or She uses frequent uses of f**k. The violence in this game is just as bad as the violence in GTA. I would rent this game first and watch your kids play it before you buy it. This is a very good game and i would recomend it to anyone 13 and over.
this is the best game in the world its not so bad the only bad thing is is that this guy gets shanked just to break you out of jail.And then you have to play the level that you break out of jail so it might teach your kids some things......
this game is a great solution to kids who want to play gta. This game, especially the greatest hits version has no nudity or graphic content, it does have quite alot of cussing though
