Sex & Nudity

  • Some of the young women in this game are wearing really short pants and one character can be seen wearing a really short mini skirt almost revealing her undies..other than that no nudity.
  • The player has to choose 1 girlfriend out of 4 hott looking young women.
  • There is a cutscene that has a man and his pose walking in on the player and his girlfriend when they were having a private moment in the bathroom of a club. They still had on their clothes at the time.
  • In one cutscene after a fight, the player's girlfriend holds him tight by his arms and as they walk out of the club she suggests something about going home and finding out how much energy he has left.
  • In one cutscene after a fight, the player and his girlfriend share a short kiss.
  • One club has some women dancing on poles in a suggestive manner. No nudity.
  • Some flirting here and there. One guy says to the player's girlfriend that he would like to take her home.

Violence & Gore

  • This game is all about fighting with different styles that the player can earn(they are 6 but only 3 are allowed)so there are people kicking, punching, breaking bones, karate chops to the throat area, slamming bodies on the ground hard, doing various alternate wrestling moves and submission holds.
  • The blood in this game is moderate at most times but not graphical. As the fight goes on you will see some blood droplets on the floor but not much. Also when a fight is over depending on how badly the winning character or player was beaten you will see his face in full view with scars, bruises bumps and blood on his face usually insulting his/her opponent.(Check 'Profanity' section for more info)
  • Strangely, only the females do not show signs of bleeding or bruises in this game.
  • At one point there is a move where a woman can twist the opponents head and you can clearly hear his/her neck crack.
  • Some moves have the the player or characters breaking the opponents back and arms and legs.
  • Also depending on the type of match where it involves more than 2 players or 1 on 1 matches where there is a crowd surrounding near the fight, there is a chance that one or all participants will get double-teamed in various ways by 2 of the players or 1 member of the crowd and a player. One way is if the player or opponent throws him/her into a person in the crowd holding a weapon the person next to them can hold him/her while the other one weals the weapon across that persons face knocking them down. Other cases if doesn't have a weapon they will hold your opponent or player for a couple of seconds and its up to the other player or opponent to do whatever he/she has to do in that short time.
  • Various weapons like crowbars, empty glass soda bottles, wooden bats, brooms, broom sticks, iron pipes, wrenches can be picked up or given to the player or opponent (if they have a crowd surrounding them) to continually inflict massive damage until the weapon is either broken or bent on the last hit. In one stage the player or opponent can take a florescent light bulb out of a light socket thats mounted onto a wooden pillar and break it over his/her head. No blood. Any glass type weapon is broken on impact. No guns are used in this game except where there will be an encounter with one used only in the second-to-last cut-scene.
  • Some of the male characters(including the player) sometimes taunt the other characters or players with a 'Gun motion' gesture(The person's index and middle finger are pointed straight out close together while the thumb is curved inwards and the rest 2 fingers are folded inwards forming a gun shaped hand and then motions his arm pointing downwards like he's shooting) and usually an insult follows.
  • Most of the stages are interactive. The player or opponent can throw him/her against a hard or wooden wall, a fence, a wood or hard pillar, corner of a turnbuckle (wrestling ring) and do a number of brutal physical acts like beating his/her head repeatedly on the surface, grating his/her face against a fence, sometimes kicking them in the face aggressively while in a sitting position, sometimes throwing them head first onto the surfaces. If against a huge speaker they will throw them head first in it causing it to break in half and sparks fly, In certain stages if against wood they break them through it on the first try or on the third try, If against glass they break them through it on the third try which is an automatic KO. In one stage it involves a ring of fire where the player or opponent can throw him/her into the fire a couple of times to cause severe damage and a quick KO. Another stage involves a train station area where the player or opponent can throw him/her onto the tracks and can get run over by the train as it passes every minute and a half or so. There is a short cut-scene showing the trains' point-of-view of him/her screaming standing or lying down just seconds before it hits them and then cuts back to the person who did it watching the train go by. They can escape if they climb back up to the platform in time unless its not a special move done by the opponent where he automatically kicks and punches him/her repeatedly then throws the person unto the tracks of the oncoming train.
  • One stage involves 2 vehicles parked in front of each other. If against one of them in the front bumper the player or opponent can throw him/her unto the windscreen and crack or smash the glass and the body will roll off the bonnet unto the ground. Sometimes in a certain position if against the side of the vehicle the player or opponent will open one of the doors, rest his/her head in between the opening and slam the door hard on their heads then kicks the door after for further damage. This can be done in one stage involving a cage also. There is no blood shown.
  • In the second-to-last scene a man stabs the player in the back of his right shoulder with a knife thats attached to his cane which was hidden in the other half of it. Some blood is shown on impact.
  • In one cut-scene a man is shown beating another man with a wooden bat in his back and we see him on his hands and knees coughing and bleeding from the face onto the ground. It is implied that he was beaten repeatedly before we see him on screen.
  • Another scene involves a drive-by where one out of the 3 main characters gets shot up in the car, losses control and crashes into a post. He his bleeding from the mouth and from his side but is still alive barely.
  • Some violent threats are heard throughout.
  • Various special moves involving the cracking of bones, breaking of necks, noses and violent brutality.

Profanity

  • The words "ass", "asshole", "bitch", "bullshit", "crap", "damn", "fuck", "goddamn", "hell", "hoe", "motherfucker", "piss", "pussy", and "shit" appear in the dialogue.
  • 1 profane finger gesture.
  • Some Spanish profanities, such as "pendejo" (asshole, dumbass), "puta" (bitch, whore, fucker), "cabrón" (prick, dickhead, bastard), and "mamahuevo" (nut sucker).
  • The soundtracks in the game which has most of the artists in the game featured on it has some profanity censored (mostly stronger profane words), but mild to moderate profane words can be clearly heard throughout most, if not all tracks.
  • Sometimes the games' profanity can be at random even in story mode (not counting the cut scenes) eg: when a character or the player picks up/takes a weapon or taunts you he will usually say something crude, offensive and/or insulting. If he/she was to pick up/take another OR the same weapon this time they may say something profane and vulgar. Another time is in story mode when choosing a tattoo, choosing a hairstyle at the barber shop, shopping for new clothes/gear or in training in the training room...during those times the owner may at random use 1 or 2 moderate profane explicative remarks depending on what you choose or if you have no money to buy certain stuff. Although there is one time where if you're broke and you repeatedly keep trying to purchase a tattoo that you can't afford, the tattoo owner will eventually or randomly say "Two words: F*ck you!" but not every so often.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • In one cutscene, a man used a cigarette lighter to light gasoline that he poured around the player and himself. There was no apparent smoking in this game.
  • The beginning of one cutscene shows a quick clip of a man popping open a bottle of whine to celebrate the player's victory in a previous match.
  • Most of the fights are held in clubs which have bars or pubs hence the various empty glass bottles lying around so it is possible that this may imply that there are some people drinking while the player is fighting with his opponent.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Suggested MPAA Rating: Rated R for strong brutal violence, language, some sexual material and drug use
  • Some cutscenes involve shooting, car accident, burning building, and brutal violence in general.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • In a cutscene, the player is given a wooden bat and being forced to finish off his bloody beaten friend that one of the three men attacked previously. He hesitates for a few seconds and is about to whack him but suddenly turns and swings the bat at one of the men standing right next to him knocking him clean off his feet.
  • In the second-to-last cutscene, a man is pointing a gun directly to the side of the players head and looks like he is about to get shot. In that same scene, the man gives the player the gun to use to shoot the man's boss. He has him at gun point, he then fires but willfully shoots off target shooting the glass windows using up all the rounds, throws away the gun and walks away telling him he's not worth it. As he walks, the man separates his cane in half revealing a knife attached and stabs the player in the back right shoulder dropping him to the ground. The player rolls on his back and quickly see the man about to stab him again and rolls away in time just before the knife sticks to the wooden floor where he was and then a fight begins.
