Too gory too violent

Way too gory way too violent completly unnecessary. too satanic in that aspect you can rip charracters completly appart and unfortenetly you also kill women in this game. i downloaded the demo and I had to uninstall it. women are dressed too revealing from the upper areas no sexual material but sensual material is way to high as explained and profanity is too excessive.

Too much sex
Too much swearing

Our review:

Kids say (9):

Epic Games, the company behind Gears of War, makes a frenetic debut on the PS3 with the gory shooter Unreal Tournament 3. The atmosphere is intense and incredibly fast-paced, arguably the fastest shooter on any console. The game also boasts impressive customization options that have bolstered a fan base cultivated in prior PC releases.

At times, the campaigns feel repetitive. However, Unreal Tournament 3 quells those concerns with a unique set of weapons, multiple maps, and challenging opponents. An intriguing feature is the ability to create maps and other modifications on the game's PC version and transfer them onto the PlayStation 3. However, one drawback is you'll need to own both the PC and PS3 versions of the game to take advantage.
