Shadows of the Damned ESRB rating explained

Shadows of the Damned got an M rating from the ESRB, and while it did not exaclty come as a surprise, it would still be nice to know what the ratings board board thought of it.

 

 

So said the ratings board:

 

"This is a third-person shooter in which players assume the role of Garcia Hotspur, a demon hunter who must retrieve his kidnapped girlfriend from Hell. Players use a former demon that can transform into various weapons (e.g., pistols, torches, shotguns, machine guns) to kill demonic creatures in underworld cities. Combat is highlighted by loud cries of pain, realistic gunfire, and large explosions. 

 

The violence is often accompanied by blood effects: large blood splashes occur when enemies are hit, and some demons explode into bloody gibs when killed; cutscenes also depict the decapitation of boss creatures, resulting in fountain-like sprays of blood. In one level, players can view a handful of strip club–themed billboards (e.g., ‘Strippers,’ ‘Sex Parade’). 

 

In another sequence, a giant female character gyrates while cupping her exposed breasts; moaning sounds can be heard in the background. The words ‘f**k,’ ‘sh*t,’ and ‘d*ck’ can be heard in the dialogue.

 

No wonder it got what it got. Shadows of the Damned comes out for both the PS3 and Xbox 360, thanks to Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture.

regardless of the "juicy" bits of the game, though, i still believe the gameplay's going to be great.

This game is interesting but I will skip it because of bad words and foul language is not necessarily. I am not interesting in those language. It is unholy and disgusting to listen those foul languages.

:D :lol: :-) ;-) 8) :-| :-* :oops: :sad: :cry: :o :-? :-x :eek: :zzz :P :roll: :sigh:
i cant tell you are disappointed i am in you

words are used to communicate, and 'curse' words are some of the descriptive words of the lot. Depending on how theyre used, you can always overdo something.

Also insulting someone with them is another matter

Wow. You're coming down on him for having standards?
He didn't insult the game, he didn't enforce his standards on you, he didn't say you shouldn't play it- He merely expressed his distaste for the language and nudity, explained why he felt that way and that was it.
Everyone, swarm the religious nut who clearly has no idea what video gaming is about! How dare he snub our sacred profanity!
