Parent and Kid Reviews
Based on 2 parent reviews
Based on 17 kid reviews
Kids say the game is a fun, engaging first-person shooter that features mild violence and some blood, but there are options to turn off the blood and profanity, making it more suitable for younger players. While some reviews highlight concerns about its violent content, many believe it's appropriate for kids aged 12 and up, especially with the lack of strong language and sexual content.
- fun gameplay
- mild violence

Is It Any Good?
Shooters are hard to pull off on the iPhone, but Gameloft has done a terrific job with Modern Combat 2. The graphics are sharp (especially for folks using an iDevice with a Retina screen). The action is tense and well-paced. And the missions are varied. There is, however, a fair bit of predictability -- particularly for players who have put in some time with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, from which this app borrows quite liberally. It is, however, a realistic portrayal of violence and isn't something that is meant for kids.
