Appropriate age for Call Of Duty 2 - Shakes - 10-01-2006
Does anyone have this game Call Of Duty 2? I have 2 boys, 11 and 13, that want it. Is it appropriate at this age?

Only if they're feeling the call of duty.
The game is really a cartoon, but it takes itself so seriously. I think these games are really only a problem when there isn't a Shakes around to maintain a general household sense of good values.

offline yes, online multi player i'd keep a eye on them.

i think it depends upon how you feel about video games.
it doesn't matter what their age is if they can't separate video games from reality.

Here's a test. Do they still smirk every time you say "call of doody?"

personally, i'd wait until older....but the fact that you are asking indicates you may be just fine. Just limit the amount of time playing. Those first person shooters end up being a form of hypnosis and literally can enter dreams..

How well do they understand what happened in World War II? It might help to put it a bit in perspective, so it can be a learning experience and not just a "Shoot 'em up" experience.
Not that there is ever a "good" war, but one thing I think these games CAN teach is that dying DOES happen in war, and that it is inevitable, especially to accomplish what was done in WWII. A frank discussion about the differences between a "game simulation" and the real thing, might help underscore the message that they are not and should not be considered equivalent experiences.
Thisis a somewhat complex concept to grasp. 13 might be old enough. I would think 11 might still be a bit young. You know your kids best.
Thanks for stopping to think about this, and for asking. I wish more parents would.
