It isn't TOO bad... The back of the box says: "Blood and Gore" I got over the Flood at 7 yrs old. And aain, the blood looks too shiny, but I haven't ever seen a real blood puddle. Plus it looks chunky. Eww, different colored throwup! "Intense Violence" Maybe a lil too intense for a nerd, but seriously: Only 2 news reports of kids going bad due to this. Gears of War is intense violence. "Strong Language" Sarge Johnson, and a few other people. But Sarge cusses way more. W/E you say, I'm just saying that if you removed Sarge and the Flood, Halo 3 would suck ass, but would be Teen. But it's still bad in a way.
