Rating issues

Opening scene to the game shows an old wizened character that has an eye patch over one eye and a dark empty eye socket for the other. He is then seen to have his ‘good magic eye’ in his hand before he pops it into the empty socket. This is later removed from the socket by using a bird’s beak to prise it out. Other than voicing outrage, the character does not display any other reaction.

The majority of the violence in the game is seen in the arcade style and involves fighting hordes of enemy (fantasy and human) characters. The ‘action’ is masked by lots of light flashes. When a character or an inanimate object is hit a plethora of pale red spots emanates from the character or object. These, however, quickly disappear leaving red staining on the floor. The violence is not realistic.

There is the use of mild swearing / offensive language such as ‘bastard’, ‘shit’ , ‘ass’, ‘asshole’ and ‘pissed’.

Other issues

There are occasional references in the game to steroids and that substance abuse in sport is beneficial. Characters use the expression feeling ‘pumped up’ when steroids are discussed. There is also the occasional use of double entendre which falls short of sexual innuendo.
