Is halo video game appropriate for a 10 year old?

Answer 1

As printed on the game case, the ESRB has rated this game M (Mature), meaning the game is not suitable for children under the age of 17. Games are rated as mature when they contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language. The reasons for ratings are always listed on the actual game case, where it can be fully viewed before purchase. The Halo 3 case advises that it is rated M for Blood and Gore, Mild Language, and Violence.

Here is an out take from the ESRB rating description for this game:

Puffs of blood are emitted from injured aliens/humans, and blood is sometimes smeared on walls and on the ground. Some profanity (e.g., "bullsh*t," "a*shole," and "bastard") can be heard in the dialogue and radio chatter. For the full quote, see the related link below.

Answer 2

I would not recommend it. A lot of thirteen-year-olds play Halo 3, but the ESRB gives it a rating of M, or "Mature." This means that the ESRB recommends that the player has at least seventeen years-of-age before playing this game. However, it is ultimately up to the parent to decide. If you think your child is rather mature for his age, I'd look into it. I wouldn't give it to your average thirteen-year-old however.

Answer 3

While Halo 3 does not have excessive blood and guts, and has no sex or drug use, it is still a game about fighting a war, and one might say violence is at it's core. Furthermore, no country that rates appropriate ages for Video Games has given Halo 3 less than 12, which is to say at a minimum one must be 12 to purchase the game. Ultimately it is up to the discretion of the parent or legal guardian to allow a 10 year old to play the game.

Answer 4

That really depends on what you mean by "good for kids" First thing you must remember is that even though in the Halo games you are killing non-humanoid looking aliens and even though there is "blood" its colored purple and/or green. As far as I know there is no red colored blood in the game. Second unlike games like Grand Theft Auto, Saints Row, Battlefield, & Call of Duty there really aren't any curse words that I know about and/or have heard while playing any of the Halo games. I've played all 4 of them from start to finish. So if you are ok with your kids shooting realistic guns & killing non-humanoid looking aliens then I would say that the Halo games are better for kids compared to games like Grand Theft Auto, Saints Row, Battlefield, & Call of Duty. And in my opinion the Halo games are some of the funnest Shooter games I have ever played in my 19+ years of gaming experience.

Answer 5

I started to play Halo 5 at 7 or 8. I have never played the Halo's before that tho. Halo 5 is totally appropriate for 7 year old kids cuz there are no realistic violence, nudity or sex, and etc. The only thing i worry about is if people have their mics and cuss into it. Other then that its fine

Answer 6

No, it isn't. Only teenagers 15 or 16 and up should be playing Halo.

Answer 7

It depends on their maturity level. If they seem responsible enough yes. If they aren't wait until they are.

Answer 8

No, respect the ESRB rating, it's there for a reason, if you are 13 and under you should not be playing M rated games.

Answer 9

Heck No!! What is gotten into you?!!!
