Blood: For a game all about war, there is very little to report in this category. When you shoot an enemy, blood appears in mild to moderate and almost transparent puffs. That is, think of slighlty damp cool-aid powder thrown in the air, and you get the picture. That's it, not much else, it's very mild. Also, Some bodies linger after you kill them, but they disappear after about 30 to 40 seconds. On the same note, throughout the game you see many dead, but not bloodied bodies of fellow and enemy soldiers, and in the later levels, you see many newly dead livestock, like horses and cows, littering the area with flies buzzing around their bodies.

Mild language: There are 11 uses of d**n, 15 uses of h**l, 13 uses of b****rd, 2 uses of a**, and 1 use of SoB. Fellow soldiers also use language like, d**n, h**l, an b****rd (sometimes even SoB, but very rarely) lightly throughout gameplay.

Violence: This game is set during WWII, and as such, is moderately intense and sometimes tragic. The majority of the cutscenes between levels are done in the style of a history channel documentary, with stock footage being shown from that war. This game's violence is definitely not over the top, graphic or gratuitous, it's just as I said above: intense. Your character is equipped with a variety of weapons from grenades and pistols, to rifles and submachine guns. You also can knock the enemy with the butt of your weapon.

Specific scenes of violence:

After your training, there is an area at the very beginning of the game that shows a superior officer interrogating an enemy German soldier, by slapping him a couple times on the head for information.

In an early level, you and two fellow soldiers are trying to avoid detection by crawling through the pipes. Soon you're all detected by the enemy, and you then see your two fellow soldiers' bodies riddled with bullets, as the ammo rips through the pipes. Although, there isn't any gore, and it's pretty dark. But, there are small (but hardly discernable) puffs of blood.

One of the later levels takes place during the famous battle of Normandy (D-Day). As you are on your way to shore by boat, you overhear one of your fellow soldiers say to another soldier that he looks like he's going to puke. The other soldier starts to make a retort, but you see him throw up before he can finish his reply. Your commanding officer then gives you direction for when you reach the shore, but is interrupted with a bullet through his head. You then see other soldiers suffer the same fate; their bodies falling lifeless to the floor. Once you do reach the shore, you are immediately clipped by mortar fire, resulting in your falling to the ground. A fellow soldier then picks you up and starts dragging you to safety. As he does, you see other would-be rescuers and rescuees, as they are riddled with bullets and drop to the ground. Once you have recovered, your objective is to climb a rope up a steep cliff. There are others ahead of you, and as you climb, you see one fall to his death.

Closing comment: This is probably one of the best WWII shooter you're ever going to get (gameplay-wise); with sharp graphics, responsive controls, and a fantastic single player campaign. Content-wise, although it's intense (it is a war game), it's pretty mild, with no gore, very little language, and tame blood effects--and it's extremely mild compared to it's successor, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. So, overall, I recommend this game for ages 13+.
