from the ESRB description!

ESRB descriptions can be found here: http://www.esrb.org/ratings/

Just type in the name of a game released after October 2008 and it should have a description like this:

_______________ is a strategy game where players use grids to shape the landscape and to sustain life forms. Players build civilizations with different gods and attempt to shepherd worshipers, which in turn increases the power of their gods. Players' gods and demons can also perform miracle attacks, unleashing natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, tornadoes, fire) to destroy worshipers and their houses. Some of the Goddesses wear slightly revealing outfits, while descriptions of their attributes are somewhat suggestive (e.g., "insatiable desire…embodiment of indulgence").

I love this idea.

Um, as far as this game goes...I think it would have to be Act Raiser or Populous. But I think both of those games pre-date the ESRB, don't they?

It needs to be a newer game. They only started making the big descriptions in the last year or so.

Rating: Teen

Content descriptors: Alcohol Reference, Mild Suggestive Themes, Violence

Rating summary: This is an arcade-style fighting game in which players engage in one-on-one combat with a large international cast of human characters. Players mostly kick, punch, and use special abilities (e.g., fireballs, flying moves, and electrical strikes) to drain the opposing player's life meter. Special moves (ultra combos and super combos) are displayed in animated sequences in which characters react to being punched, kicked, or stomped on. Some of the female fighters' breasts jiggle during combat, while others wear skimpy outfits that reveal cleavage or exposed undergarment for brief instances. One stage of fighting takes place in an alcohol distillation plant called a "historic distillery."

Rating summary: This is a puzzle game in which players control a large snake-like creature whose objective is to grow by gobbling up objects (e.g., bicycles, small animals, houses, etc.). Players advance in the game by growing the creature as big as possible and then reporting its length to a character in space. Consumed objects sometimes pop out of the snake's rear end, making a comical "splat" sound.

Noby Noby Boy.

Rating: Mature

Content descriptors: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Language

Rating summary: This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of an American agent/soldier who battles Nazi soldiers during World War II. Players use a variety of weapons (handguns, shotguns, machine guns, rocket launchers) to shoot and kill hundreds of Nazi soldiers, mutated humans, and alien creatures. Combat is frenetic and highlighted by realistic gunfire, screams of pain, and "flesh-impact" sounds. During one sequence, players can use an axe to chop off the heads and arms of enemies. Blood often sprays from the bodies of injured soldiers and stains the ground near enemy corpses. Some profanity (e.g., "sh*t") can be heard in the dialogue.

This might be a tough one. It's an older game that was re-released. :)

 Rating: Everyone 10+

Content descriptors: Fantasy Violence

Rating summary: This is a side-scrolling action game in which players assume the role of a resurrected centurion that is sent to rescue a kidnapped Goddess. Players traverse through many platform levels and fight hordes of zombies, giant insects, winged gargoyles, and two-headed wolves along the way. Players mostly punch and kick enemies to move forward, while special power-up orbs allow players to use special attacks (e.g., fireballs, lighting strikes, turning creatures to stone) that inflict greater damage. More extended boss battles occur at the end of each level.

It is arguably one of the most graphically advanced video games for the NES, at a time when the video game market was turning to the Genesis and SNES.

The game became famous for its extravagant difficulty and humorous ways of defeating enemies, as the characters possess the ability to transform parts of their body into gigantic, exaggerated appendages for devastating attacks and comic effect.



That should be enough info....if not I will give hints.

Was gonna let someone else respond, but figured I might as well to keep the game alive: SMT: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon: Origins (Okay, I added that last part.

(This one is slightly edited to take the name of the game out of it; still shouldn't be too tough)

Rating: Everyone

Content descriptors: Cartoon Violence

Rating summary: This is an action/puzzle game in which players are tasked with building and destroying formations. Players can use lasers, bowling balls, slingshots, and little bombs to knock down towers and "cartoony" characters (e.g., cows, gorillas, dogs, etc.). In one level, players can fire cannonballs at chicken pirates to prevent them from commandeering a ship.

Devil Summoner 2!


This should be easy:

This is a stealth action game in which players assume the role of a British assassin who engages in missions of sabotage against German forces during World War II. Players navigate through enemy bunkers and strongholds, disrupt Nazi activities, and assassinate enemy soldiers in a variety of ways: players shoot soldiers, slash their throats, bash their skulls, and stab them in the eye or from behind. Blood gushes out when enemies are killed, and slow-motion effects and gurgling sounds can sometimes be heard.

The ESRB site isn't working so I'll post a description from the BBFC site (the British equivalent):

________ is a team-based action horror game played from the first-person perspective. Each player takes the role of one of four human survivors in a ruined city, desperately trying to survive against a horde of the undead. The game was classified '18' for frequent strong bloody violence and gore.

The player has at their disposal a range of weapons from a pistol to machine guns, shotguns and grenades. While weapons such as the pistol and small machine guns cause blood to spurt from characters' bodies when they are hit, higher-powered items such as the machine gun, shotgun and sniper rifle are capable of blasting off limbs or even heads, with chunks of flesh seen falling to the ground. The environments (e.g. walls, floors) are also covered with blood in an area where characters have been shot. Dead bodies are occasionally seen on the ground and some of these have been eviscerated with sight of entrails, missing limbs and so on.

At '15' The BBFC's Guidelines state that 'violence may be strong but may not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury', and that 'the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable'. ___________ includes frequent sight of such gory images, and the player is generally unable to progress through a level without shooting dozens of enemies, with an arsenal of realistic weapons that cause bloody damage throughout. The game was therefore classified '18'.

Language in the game includes mild and moderate language, such as 'shit' and 'bitch'.

I knew it was L4D and was trying to find another ESRB description before mracoon confirmed but it's incredibly hard to even find a game with a description. I tried many, even MGS4 didn't have a description so I'll sit my turn out and let someone else have a go.

You guys will never get this:

"This is an action role-playing game (RPG) in which players assume the role of a detective with magical powers who investigates a series of disappearances in a 1920's Japanese town. Players can summon demons to help out with the investigation and to battle other creatures and human enemies. During combat, players can slash enemies with swords or order their demons to use magic attacks (e.g., fire, ice lightning). Blood sometimes pools under enemies' feet when they are struck, and blood occasionally stains the floors and walls of the dungeon and town environments. Some female demons wear outfits that expose deep cleavage, wear body paint for clothing, or are dressed in rose vines that barely cover their breasts. A few demons have suggestive appearances, including creatures with phallic-shaped heads and torsos."
