According to ESRB, this game contains: Blood, Fantasy Violence
Parents don't have anything to worry about. While there is violence in the game, it's neither graphic nor gratuitous, and comes with a heart-rending message attached to it.
Fans of ICO have no excuse to not purchase this game. Not only is it a wonderful prequel to that game, purchasing a fresh, deliciously shrink-wrapped copy will encourage the developers to continue making games like this.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers won't have any trouble at all with the game. There isn't much dialogue, but it's all subtitled and there aren't any important audio cues.
