Skate is an incredible game, But it is not for young children. It deserves the T rating, but T does not equal pg-13. It has frequent mild language(and I mean mild), some violence,and breif tobacco refrence. The mild language is words such as d@$&, a$$,and hell, usually in horribly written dialogue such as when characters are complementing you a character refers to you as "hauling a$$" violence includes getting hit by cars and falling off a large ramp with ragdoll physics. There are cigarette packages in a gas station in the intro video

For little kids who might see it will get frightened by the bold it showes.

Well when I first saw this game, I thought it was copying Tony Hawk and wasn't interested, then I found out that "skate." was going to be a skateboarding simulator, I got so excited for this game then. Now I'll tell you now, this does not at all play like Tony Hawk, Tony Hawk is an arcade skate game and this is a sim and this game is also quite difficult. The reason why I like this game more than the Tony Hawk games simply is the gameplay, the gameplay is so good and satisfying that once you learn how to play the game, you'll never want to play Tony Hawk again. Now for content in language, violence etc. the worst part of this game is just the intro, where there was some blood in the hospital while it shows you being worked on in a emergency room, it isn't graphic and doesn't show anything but Mark Gonzalez (Doctor) has blood on his shirt at the end. There's one more thing I should note, the language, the language isn't really strong but it's used a lot so be prepared. Well anyway, "skate." is an excellent skateboarding game and shouldn't be missed. P.S. I recommend you buy the Xbox 360 version because the PS3 version has been known for a bad framerate (the game slows down and gets really choppy).

this game is different than the tony hawk games in good ways. I think it's much more fun than tony hawk games. It has some nasty wipeouts and as usual for skateboarding games, bad role models. I would recommend getting skate 3 instead though

This game is the BOMB! :D I love it. the skaters crash and break bones as well as run into cars and peds. Theres some language though, the guy that commentates you throughout the game says"D*mn" and "Crraaaaap!" when you fall. If you startle a pedestrian they can sometimes say "What the hell is wrong with you?" or "Bastar*!" and they might kick you or whack you. The skaters evade the law and skate in "no-skate zones." The security will rough you up if you do that though. In the intro you get hit by a bus and there is some blood in the emergency room...

As a note to parents, the only blood and gore is a hilarious live-action opening cut-scene where there's a construction worker holing his severed arm and said "can the doctor take a look at this? The language is not bad but happens repeatedly, though mostly when in cut-scenes or your character gets hit by a car. The only violence is when San Vanelona security catches you, and punches your avatar or something like that.
