Although the idea is to save the world by killing aliens, you are having a 4 year old play it. Definitely too young.

Bingo. Those ratings are there for a reason. I once half joked to my fiance that when we have children they are not owning a video game system before the age of high school. I can't stop a child from playing at someone elses home, but they will not be playing that in our home. She laughed, then I looked at her and said "No really, I'm serious."
A 4 year old? A 4 year old shouldn't even be watching large amounts of TV unless you want him/her to develop a short attention span. We didn't even have a TV in my home growing up until High school and I turned out with a longer attention span than nearly every guy I grew up with. Video game systems? only ever owned a game boy that I was allowed to play on long trips.
The less of these types of entertainment a child is exposed to, the better. They don't call it the idiot box for nothing.
