My 7 year old is borrowing the game from my brother...it's not bad (no cursing in songs, etc), but there are quite a few heavy metal or alternative rock songs. Some I do not like, and some I cannot understand, but it's okay. But, that is me and my son. It may not be the same for you. I really like the game and watching him play the guitar is so funny!! He does a pretty good job and I like to play too. See if a store will let you look at some of the songs or do a short demo for you to see if you approve.
