Rating Summary
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, and Language.
This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of one of four protagonists who must stop the spread of a mutagenic virus in several international locations. Players use an assortment of firearms (pistols, shotguns, and machine guns), grenades, and "melee" knife attacks to kill hordes of attacking zombies and mutated animals. Blood splatter is frequently depicted when organic enemies are attacked; headshots result in decapitation, sprays of red blood, and an (occasional) award of bonus points. Mutilated corpses with visible internal organs are often scattered throughout the environment. Profanity (e.g., "sh*t") is frequently heard in the dialogue.
