Is there much violence, blood, gore, shooting?

I don't know why the top rated answer said yes. It's a Batman game - there is a small level of violence but it's very tame, showing no blood whatsoever. There is no blood or gore, and shooting is stopped by Batman's armor, and if you were asking if you play as someone who shoots people, Batman only has non-lethal weapons. It's rated T so quite frankly, any kid who is familiar with Batman is probably old enough to play Arkham games.

I guess you have to define what "safe" is to you and also what is the maturity level of the 14 year old? There is violence (though Batman himself refuses to kill anyone - he just break bones and renders the "bad guys" unconscious.) Overall an average 14 year old who watches PG-13 movies ought to be able to handle it. If you want to decide for yourself go to youtube and watch some of the videos. There you can watch the entire game if you want.

Hello as a 20 year old playing it I can say there isnt that much. You kill animals for meats/clothing and you kill the bad guys so they dont kill you and you have to slay the dragon. There is no actual blood splatters or anything when you are killing those things they just turn red. Its really not that bad and i promise you im not just saying that. My mom even lets my brother who just turned 6 year old play it. I think this is perfectly fine to let your kids play :)

It is violent. A lot of shooting and killing people. Online can be very graphic and people are very profane. In my opinion, no, it's not acceptable for a 9 year old. If my son was 9, I wouldn't allow him to play it.

If you sons, have watched a movie like gladiator or any med-evil movie, it's definitely no worse. Very mild gore, no sexual themes and minor alcohol references.

NONE!! Unless you want to promote Killing, Sex Changes, Treachery, Violence, Backstabbing, Cheating, Sexual promiscuity and Death. Because that is what the game revolved around.

Bud, it can't ALL be filtered, near-colorless pallets of gore and grime. Cheer up, I'm sure there'll be more of the same old kind of hack-slash soon that you personally prefer. Not every game is made to please every person, move along, apparently there's nothing here for you--there might be for someone else though.

The only instance of blood I can recall is the series of static dark red spots at the end of the Subspace Emissary campaign on the white glove of [redacted] due to [redacted]. It's nothing graphically shocking though, unless you count a small coagulated prick shocking, and it is used for dramatic effect in the story. Otherwise, though, it's fine, and that's minor. Pretty much just cartoon violence.

Not sure about others. I like it for the action scenarios. The story is not all that well done.

Not much to speak of, other than some stuff about the prophets seed. set in the 1920s so clothing is very conservative..lots of blood guts and beheadings. Basic story is your a detective and your rescuing a girl. One of the more tame games i have played. if your a conservative christian you wont like the story line.

It is not appropriate for a young kid to play this game, it has lots of gun violence, drugs, nudity, and dirty language. It is a fun game. But for a mature player.

Definitely! There's 5 separate difficulty levels, which is more than what most games have. With each difficulty level, enemies become slightly stronger and more accurate, and you become more susceptible to damage.

The games overall are not censored. Although there is an option in the pause menu that allows you to turn off the gore/blood and guts when someone dies.

It has all classic horror movie tropes. Zombies, corpse brides, getting shrunk and attacked by cats... All the monsters in the game are small cardboard tokens, but in theory the game can get 'violent'. As violent as cardboard and dice rolls can be, I guess.

There is a decent amount of blood in this game, and some of the kill animations can be fairly elaborate and graphic. Add that to the language and sexual content, and it's probably not appropriate for someone so young.

The game doesn't consists of anything vulgar just mild amounts of violence. However everyone is different for me personally I was pretty easy. But it is difficult to get used to at first. Have your child download the demo in the Nintendo 3ds eshop and watch how he plays.

I do not recall there being excessive adult language (if any). The game is a first person shooter so the characters are soldiers gun fighting, but the violence is not over the top or gorey.
