Warning: This write-up contains plot spoilers.

Saboteur is a game that has violence in it, but the level of violence it has doesn’t dive to an extreme. The player can kill guards both by melee and ranged combat (hurling missile objects). The guards punch, kick, and shoot their pistols at the player. Though the game contains all this, none of the violence is vivid or explicit. On top of this there is no blood or gore that can be discerned in any way from Saboteur’s game play. Other than petty acts of theft and sabotage, the violence is the only part of this title that is bound the be potentially harmful to younger children. Kids in their early teens or older individuals would be safe playing this kind of game.
