Here's another good title from ubisoft, woe to all the critics who downed this game. The graphics are outstanding, the gameplay quite intense, and a single battle can go on for quite awhile and thus keep you occupied. Good job ubisoft. ^_^ Now for the parental concerns. I'm going to agree with common sense this time on the age requirement. :P The violence is quite high, some blood can be seen if your right in the thick of it as your infantry are being hit. (It's barely noticable to tell the truth and thus should not be a real concern.) The language however can be heard, s**t d**m h**l and I thought once, (if I'm mistake point me out) a f**k could be heard. It's mainly the language that is a concern here. I would also like to account for some ingame advertising, such as... movie ads, game ads, etc, (prince of persia... etc...) But it appears to be nothing major. This is on for 14. No major issue to tell the truth. Just small concerns.

It isn't really a game based on a novel The novels not really like it at all and most successful movies are based on a book and have a video game and the novels supposed to be based on it but was released first . As for violence , smoking and stuff if its not like what they do all the beer and smoking are a part of life and the violence is minimum . Also its kind of educational.
