What is halo rated

One of the best on Xbox One! This amazing collection of amazing and beautiful games is not as bad for kids as you may think. Many parents might think that the Halo franchise is too violent for kids, however, when I watched my kids playing it I was surprised. I always thought that Halo was a gritty brutal shooter, but I found that I was wrong. The blood is actually different colors and really isn't that noticeable. There is a bit of swearing, so if you are sensitive to that kind of thing, you may want to be a bit careful.

Some violence but only against aliens. Since when is saving the world not positive? This title contains: Positive Messages. Positive role models. Had useful details. Adult Written by Dr. Questionable April 1, Bias review The violence in this game is nothing compared to what the review is. All I see is that you shoot aliens and save the planet by doing so.

Master chief sacrifices his life for the planet and everyone living in it. Read my mind. Adult Written by Wildcat December 4, Not as bad as the rating says This game has quite similar themes to the popular franchise Star Wars. Most of the games in the collection are M with only a few being MA with slightly more grit. Definitely better than most titles on Xbox like Skyrim or Call of Duty.

Adult Written by Sdog April 22, Helped me decide. Parent Written by keith November 14, An amazing collection I was compelled to write a review for The Master Chief Collection especially after seeing Common Sense rate it "Not for Kids" but give Sunset Overdrive with its much more abrasive content a more lenient review. The Master Chief Collection is a compilation of the Halo games This series revolutionized the first person shooter genre and its influence can still be seen today.

The Halo games wonderfully mix narrative with sci-fi action in a way that has always sucked me in. I love this universe and the story at the heart of it. When looking at this collection there are a tons of components to consider. You're dealing with four different games. The first game Halo:Combat Evolved contains the most profanity of any but it is light compared to the vast majority of games out there.

As you play through the four campaigns you'll notice the profanity dwindle considerably. In fact, I would venture to say that all four games combined have less profanity than almost any action game you'll find Destiny aside.

Being a shooter you can expect violence. The are little splats of blood here and there including neon blue splotches for the aliens known as the Covenant. Meanwhile, I had done a bit more research. To me, psychologist, it was worrying at first that the first-person-shooter gameplay style would instill ideas of glorified killing in my child. With this as a mindset, I dove deeper into the world of Halo.

As it turns out, in the story mode, the main enemy are these glowing, partially floating aliens, who, when killed, flake into golden pieces and disappear into the air. I then watched a little bit of gameplay I found on Youtube. Suddenly, the blood and guts images of gore that had been painted in my head by soccer moms and overprotective parents seemed ridiculous.

Admittedly, some of the firearms used in the game that don't glow or shoot light pellets do look realistic, but no worse than anything seen in daily city news. The map building feature included in the game intrigued me. The amount of freedom that it gives the player to create, in HD and 3D was fascinating. This could actually rationalize a shooting game for most parents wondering whether or not to buy Halo for their child.

But all in all, Halo 4 is no worse violence-wise than the latest Star Trek remake, or any sci fi PG movie. But back to my son. He had been anticipating its arrival in stores for a month or two, and had wanted it since it came out.

After the research and revelations mentioned above, I convinced my husband to buy this for our son for Christmas. Now, he plays this during his free time on weekends, sometimes in split screen cooperative mode with his older brother, sometimes with his buddies, online or in person.

Even his twin sister plays the multiplayer once in a while. I once caught her and her friends having a tournament in the basement, late at night during one of her sleepovers. In the end, I believe that as long as my son isn't playing those ultra violent, ultra realistic shooters like Call of Duty, or playing video games every day, I have done a swell job with my media parenting.

Parent of a 10 and year-old Written by SafetyParent September 9, When they said: Violently beating aliens to death, They meant: punching a alien once and running away. My 10 year-old is fine with it and it does not really encourage violence or anything. It is quite fun I've played it with my son!

There is not much violence besides mild shooting and no bad language at all. The blood is obviously fake and I recommend it if your kids want Call Of Duty! There is only chat if you are on multiplayer. Many people do not chat and they do not use bad language!

This title contains: Ease of Play. Helped me decide 2. Had useful details 1. Read my mind 1. Parent Written by Gorge r February 12, Halo 4 Halo 4 is the best halo game ever. Not only the storyline but it is great for kids 8 and up because you can turn of the blood well the is not much only blue and yellow blood from the alians. I let my son play halo combat evolved and he loved it so for his 9th birthday I got him halo reach now he has halo 4 that he got himself I would give this game a 10out of 10 because there's no blood and good for kids.

Parent of a 11 and year-old Written by tenaciousddude December 31, Halo 4 This has minimal violence with almost zero blood. Read my mind. Okay for teens Halo 4 is a high quality space opera that really demonstrates the shortcomings of the ESRB rating system.

From a gameplay standpoint, Halo 4 is the best Halo game yet. Unfortunately, the story isn't quite as engaging. Multiplayer and Forge are still great fun, and the game is worth a purchase for those features alone.

Content wise, there is little reason for this game's M rating. It has moderate violence and a bit of blood, but is probably the tamest Halo game released, with a story that is nowhere near as dark as Halo: Reach. Helped me decide 1. Adult Written by mohammed67 January 18, Great game! Helped me decide 3. Adult Written by dead gamer May 22, Get it Anyone can get it.

It is the best game ever. Adult Written by SgtUnicorn May 5, A great shooter for Kids, not too violent at all I am a very big fan of the Halo series. Not because of all the shooting, or cool guns, but because of the story it has spawned a franchise of books too There are many other games that don't involve Halo 4's character Master Chief. I always miss it.

The story of H4 is great, you awaken from your 4 year slumber in your torn apart ship Forward Unto Dawn. You crash in a uncharted planet Requiem, meet a new enemy Didact. It is a very inspiring and great sci Fi shooter, voted for best graphics, and the story will even make you cry if you're a fan. Take not there are "Assassinations" in Halo 4, when you sneak up at the back of someone, you can instantly kill them using this and your character either stabs the opponent or punches it, and still no blood in this one.

Parent Written by Rating Gamer January 15, Yes, it's a first person "shooter" I recomended this Game Parent Written by dadoftheworld2 November 18, Overall there is zero swearing ok for kids 13 and under :D. Parent of a 6, 9, and year-old Written by MayaHaydon November 12, Team building, fun game. But you might find a clue if you follow the trail of blood. Halo: Reach : "Human and alien characters emit spurts of blood when injured; players are able to shoot dead enemies, causing more blood to splash out.

Blood is sometimes depicted on the walls and ground. Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary : "Frequent blood-splatter effects occur when enemies are shot, sometimes staining the surrounding environment; aliens often break into bloody fragments when killed.

Halo 4 : "Large blood-splatter effects occur when humans are shot; some sequences depict bloodstained environments. Contrast those descriptions with the "occasional blood-splatter effects" listed for Halo 5 , and the game's T rating starts to make sense. There's no indication if developer Industries or publisher Microsoft Studios toned down the blood or other elements of Halo 5 with the intention of securing a T rating rather than an M rating; we've reached out to the companies for comment, and will update this article with any information we receive.

Halo 5: Guardians is set for release Oct. For more on the game, check out our E3 interview with Industries about the series' multiplayer future , and its Gamescom trailer below.
