Parent reviews for Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Really fun game in general,if you're concerned of language and violence it can be turned off But if not then except some graphic kills and language Drugs are seen in the game but none are consumed

I played this game with my son Jacob and he said he loved it he didn't understand all of the profanity yet but he really did love its action packed narrative and intense survival and multiplayer modes. I let him play and he said it was fun quick and easy which really was astonishing. I thought my child would hate all the gore but its like he doesn't even see it.

Black ops 2 is fine for your kids even without the content filter but it doesn't hurt to turn it on it really is no worse than Jurassic park and other movies with gore and it is mostly fact accurate (in the non futuristic part) so your kid will be inadvertently learning about history.

Honestly, most children by age 8 and older know not to do what things and/or people do in video games. If your child/children are mature (at least somewhat), then they should be able to play this game. Ive played it myself, and the only real reason it is rated M is because of gore and swears, but those can be toned down with a feature in the game that allows you to do so. Overall, its a good game, and with common knowledge, most children by age 8 should be able to play this game.

Call of duty black ops 2 is an amazing game with one of the best game story's. But it is NOT for kids! There is a reason this game is rated M17+, and it means for adults only! Kids should stick to E games and maybe some T rated games but that's it, but MAYBE they could try this game out, but it is filled with tons of profanity, violence and gore. One graphic scene in the game when a man is locked in a glass box and graphically is shown burning alive, he screams in pain until he dies, and there are multiple throats slices and blood splatter throughout. This entire game is filled with blood and gore, multiplayer only has blood splatter and no gore. But zombie mode and the campaign is filled with it. This is not supposed to be a children's game. It is M17+ for a reason! BUT you COULD get your kid this but it could make him a violent kid, but if you really know your child, and if he is mature enough to handle gore, dugs and profanity, then let your kid try this one out. HE WILL HAVE FUN OR HE WILL HAVE NIGHTMARES.

I haven’t played too much of this game, since I have only played it on two separate occasions: on a camping trip and with my friend when he came over to my house and brought this game, too. From the little exposure I’ve had to this game, I have found that it is very violent and exceptionally bloody and gory. When you are selecting what gun you want and the ammunition and additional traps and gadgets that will help you, it is complicated for one to start to know what they usually desire. For someone to know the functions of all of the weapons and ammunition requires months of playing and experimenting with everything. On the two occasions, I played on a split screen, and because of my prior gaming experience, it didn’t take me long to get adjusted to the controls and it didn’t take me long to find some gadgets that I could depend on while in battle. It is an amazing game, and I am very impressed with the graphics. For those who don’t like blood, when the game is loading, they have the option to turn off the graphics. This is excellent, and I love playing it every once in a while.

This game is fine for ages 10+ because you can turn off blood and gore

My wife bought this game for my son when he was 12. While I hadn't originally signed on, my son explained to me several things about it. I really care about and want to know about the games that my son plays because I don't want him playing some awful gory shooter game. Because of this I looked into it a bit. Firstly was how it got rated M. He said that the Call of Duty games before this had been rated T (I checked this out). I found out that the reason that this game was rated M rather than T was because the graphics were better than past games so the gore was more vivid. I told my son about this and he showed me that he could turn off all blood and gore by simply turning off a single setting. I didn't realize that it was that easy. I also watched him play the story mode for around 30 minutes. I was surprised because in that time I didn't hear a single swear word. The story mode was also optional and not necessary. I found that this game was wronged in the rating. The basic reason behind making the game M rated was because it was extremely gory, but there is an easy feature that turns gore fully off. While I'm not condoning telling your children to go play a shooter game, I definitely think that children 12 and older can play this game.
