Rating Summary
This is an action game in which players assume the role of Chuck Greene, an unwitting contestant on a “kill-or-be-killed” zombie game show. Players can use guns, swords, chainsaws, baseball bats, and flamethrowers to kill hordes of zombies and human characters. Combat is accompanied by large sprays of blood and frequent dismemberment and decapitations; some sequences allow players to kill mobs of zombies with vehicles such as a chainsaw-mounted motorcycle. Cutscenes also depict intense acts of violence: zombies biting chunks of flesh off humans; a man falling onto a spinning saw blade; a character cutting his own throat with a shard of glass. Game environments include peepshow theaters, sex shops, and neon signs advertising “Live Girls.” Players can enter a peep show though no activity is shown; one sex shop contains phallic-shaped “massagers” that can be used as weapons. Some missions involve making, serving, and drinking alcoholic beverages (e.g., whiskey, vodka;) if players drink too much alcohol, Chuck's movements become erratic, and he may be shown vomiting. The words “sh*t” and “b*tch” appear in the dialogue.
