Awesome game. Played it a lot when it first came out, and still play. story encourages killing the bad guys(zerg) and saving the dying good guy(protoss). Kinda gory, and involves shooting, but is a third person game, where you act as a kind of leader of your minions. I definitly agree with the rating.

i've loved this game ever since i saw my friend playing the baita i dont think that sex is an issue at all but there are some problems with cussing overall a very good game in witch you can have fun with everything.

This game is AWESOME!!! playing as three different races (terrans, protoss, zerg) u can play online or offline on a TON of different maps. i havent played the first but i know the second is awesome. there is some brids eye view violence. you can go to options and turn the effects on high or low. having them on low effect will make a small amount blood not fall on the ground. but if you set the effects to high, limbs will fly, and blood with splat and bodies and blood will litter the ground. it isnt too gruesome though. my younger brother (whose 9) plays this game too. the zerg are a little bit scary. the language: some swearing in cutscenes is frequent. s--t is said VERY infrequently. but said a lot are b---h, d-mn, h-ll, and a--. The sexual content: an elf woman dances in a bikini in the cantina. but it is just a holigram. its not that bad. also alcohol is consumed frequently and cigars stick out of one dudes mouth. this game is overall the BEST game ive ever played. even though i say all that bad stuff the main character is a really good role model. i say tweens up.

This game is a great way to stimulate the minds of people of all ages. There is a fair amount of violence, but it isn't like playing Call of Duty or even the original Mortal Kombat games: You don't shoot someone's head off or tear them limb from limb. With regards to the blood and gore, there is practically no blood unless you run the game on a high graphics setting, which requires a very high-end computer and is still near-impossible. Another object of note is that the game can be extremely frustrating for those children with minds conditioned by Call of Duty-esque games. It requires strategy, planning, and high levels of concentration. All in all, a great game.

This being my favorite game of all time, I had to review it. I'll first say this: if you play the single-player portion of the game, I strongly suggest you play the original StarCraft and its expansion pack, StarCraft: Brood War, or look up the events that took place in them. Moving on, the game can get very violent, with a lot of (not-too-realistic) blood, shootings, and frightening imagery. When you shoot humans (Terrans) and the aliens (Zerg), there is some blood, but it's not realistic, and it's not excessive. I'm not sure if there is blood when you attack the third race featured in the game (the Protoss), but if it's anything like the first game, they either vanish in a puff of blue smoke or spew blue-colored ooze. The Zerg will look incredibly frightening to younger kids, especially Kerrigan (also known as The Queen of Blades). There is also a fair amount of cursing in the game, but it's nothing you wouldn't hear in an episode of The Simpsons, or even a PG movie. The characters drink and smoke, but in my opinion, this is the thing to worry the least about. There is one suggestive thing in this game, and it's that one of the main characters has a tattoo of a woman lifting her skirt up on his armor (but nothing explicit is shown). Surprisingly, through a field of violence and cursing, the game is educational. Players have to carefully devise stratedgies for each level, and it takes quite a bit of concentration, thinking, and creativity. The main character, Jim Raynor, can be a good role model, as he never gives up on his goals, dreams, and is always willing to help those in need. Also, the game's controls are VERY easy to master, as their are several tutorials and videos to learn from. I strongly recommend this game; it'll keep you playing for a long time, because there are a lot of missions, features, and a multi-player online mode that always holds something new and fun for players.

I think this game is epic. I dont have it but I played it at a friends house.It can be pretty violent but you can set the effects.The higher it is, the more blood and gore there is.

for everyone 9 at smallest. And its got a really good store board so its cool.

It's a REALLY fun game. But if you're looking for a game for your kids, it's not the game. It has cursing, alcohol, and tobacco. It also depends on the kid though. If your kid can handle having no influence from these kind of things, and enjoys strategy and multiplayer, it's a good game. However, if your kid tends to copy people he sees on TV and video games, you shouldn't buy it for them. But it's not as bad as World of Warcraft if that says anything.

Starcraft 2 is a great game and is about thinking strategy instead of a fps where you just kill people. In the single player campaign there is a little swearing. There is violence but you see from a birds eye view and the blood is not very realistic. In multiplayer there is a filter so you cant see inappropriate language. I
