Hitman 6 age classification?

Bump.

No shit given to age limit :l I doubt any people even care about it

The classification doesn't matter, not really. Every kid is different and it really depends on what you think your kid can handle. I mean this is about being a contract killer more or less. Does your kid understand fantasy from reality and has the emotional maturity to not act it out? If so then he can play the game.

Well I don't have it yet but let's me honest it's hitman. And if you think about the previous HITMAN games...
Isn't the fact that you play as HITMAN who's job after all is to KILL, MURDER and so on people is enought to rate it 18+ ? :)
In my book, those games are not for kids.

I played the first hitman when i was like 15 or something, and I can assure you that today I'm..... oh.

Every child could find porn and violence in the internet accidentally or not. So why these supposed restrictions?

well the game is all about how to kill a person in many way as possible and get away silently to get silent assassin.Look like it will rated 18+ so the game not for kid so you could buy Scribenault,Physic caryron instead it fun and creative

Your kid gonna face the content included in these kinds of games sooner or later, so why not getting him what he wants instead of him somehow getting his hands on them without you knowing? This at least you know what he's doing and playing.

First off, props to you for being a responsible parent, especially in this day and age.

How important is it that he play this game? There is an abundance of other games out there for him to play. There will be 100's more games like Hitman for him to play when you believe he's old enough, so don't worry about him missing this one. It's a game about murdering people in cold blood; definitely not intended for younger children. ;)

It's a game about killing people. Whether you think that's appropriate for your child is up to you
I don't think there's that much blood and gore, so it's not visually/viscerally horrendous, but I don't know for sure - wait for it to come out and watch some gameplay videos.

Whether an age rating is applicable for a particular child depends on the child. Some kids handle things better than other kids

I think the kids parents are the only one that is able to know if the kid can handle the game content.
actually, today, we have adults that I would not recommend a +18 game.
not everyone is the same, not everyone face things equaly... some are mature, some don't. the age doesn't add much.

get him a different game , maybe a strategy one. The 18+ rating is right.

If you're confident your kid can distinguish fantasy and reality then I very much doubt there's anything in that game that could be harmful to him.

With all due respect, chances are your kid has played worse already( Any of the GTAs with their crazy mods for example). So if he is fine now and knows the difference between real life and games and has been mature about it, then there's no reason why he can't play the latest hitman.
That's my opinion.

hitman games have been about choosing your route, you CAN sneak through without killing anyone (unless its a mission where you kill someone obviously but thats usually a cut scene) but you can also "make a mess" but the game hasn't rewarded that at all, in fact it makes it MUCH harder and gives you less of a score in the long run. you are supposed to NOT be seen, no one should notice you. of course there are bits that are going to be mature, drugs, whores, killing, its hitman, but its not a blatant kill everyone game.

Buy him assassin's Creed if he wants to try a stealth game, it's less violent

If they say it's 18+, then it's 18+. If your son grew up with principles and he's not oversensitive, then don't worry, just buy him the game anyway - it won't affect him and he'll enjoy it.

I wanted to say I give you credit for being responsible parent and taking this seriously. Yes, this a a game and after your kid plays this he doesn't go outside and murder someone but it will definitely shape his ideas and future among with other things. It will be influence on him. So, pros to you.

For the game, I recommend you to wait for another few years too before playing this game. But it will be your decision after all since you know your son better than any of us.

It's up to you. If you want my opinion, then 15 is old enough to play murder games. I guess the game publishers just want to play it safe against all the people who may want to sue them because "the game made my kid violent" while their own neurotic behavior made their kid violent, and the game was his only coping mechanism.

Whether people care about it or not, it has to be there for legal reasons. I'm sure the majority of parents wouldn't have a problem letting their 15 year old play an 18 rated game.

Well, I played Hitman: Blood Money when I was12, and I haven't assassinated anyone yet, so I'd say its pretty safe.

At 14 i wouldn't be worried about anything he is going to see in a video game it will be nothing compared to what he has seen on tv or the internet daily unless he has lived a very sheltered life,only reason Hitman would get a 18+ rating would be the fact that your an assassin killing people, as long as you know he is mature enough to know the difference between real life and a video game you should be all set to get this for him.
