Well, its not as bad as a some FPS games. But i dont think a six year old should play it. A ten year old could play if he clearly understands the material.

Well whenever my 6 year old cousin comes over, he always wants to play Halo right away, so it depends on what you want your child to play or not to play.

heads dont explode, there is some blood but bodies stay intact, and they are in full armor so you dont see people

it's either green or blue blood....definitly not red blood. But there are marines that either get killed or are already killed on the floor. They look like lifeless corpses (not too high in graphic detail)
I love this game, and I am never one to deprive a child of a video game. So as long as he understands the concept that he's shooting video game monsters, and not real life humans.
I would think it would be alright. I would recommend renting it and playing the first 2 levels yourself to see if it's suitable for them. It's ultimately a choice parents have to make for their particular child.

A 6 year old should play it though. The ten year old maybe, but not the 6 year old.

I believe the game is rated M for mature (meant for people 17 years old+)
End of story.

hahaha...A 6 and 10 yr old playing halo? I'm sorry but if u are like me and u play multiplayer a lot then u can't really imagine a 6yr old and 10 yr old kid being much of a challenge....besides little kids get frusterated and throw fits when they losse alot or get stuck in a level...they can play if they want too...just don't expect much out of them...

Phoenix...somehow...i don't think he's particularly worried about how good his kids are going to be at the game.
I think he's worried about the content of the game to make sure it's appropriate for children of that age....

thx for you posts. So basically what I get is that it isnt as violent as M rated games go, being that most of the gore comes from the aliens rather than the humans. Is that it?

yeah, the only thing is that when you shoot another guy, blood splatters on the surrounding area, but if that isn't that bad to you, then I'd say it'd be fine for them to play.

just make sure they understand video game bad guys from real life humans.
I don't want to be responsible for "Columbine 2: the kindergarten years"

Halo is a good game for all people at all ages...just think of it as cops and robbers but in this case spartans and humans vs. covenant and flood

theres hardly what you could call blood... its like red spatter... nothing chunky or heavily detailed.. just enough for you to realize the difference between human and alien blood.. the games not graphic at all.

Halo is an intense game for kids that young. my cousin still gets freaked when sees flood.
I dont think the games content is acceptable for kids that young. The curse, and have mature themes. It is RATED M FOR PETES SAKE!!
