Yakuza 4

Yakuza 4 is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood, Sexual Themes, Strong Language, Use of Alcohol, and Violence. This is an open-world action game in which players assume the role of several Japanese gangsters in the Yakuza underworld. Players explore the Tokyo streets, follow various storylines, and engage in street fights against thugs and gangsters. Players punch, kick, grapple, and use katana blades and other objects (tables, chairs, signs) to defeat enemies in melee-style combat; players can also trigger scripted attack moves (e.g., ripping nails off with pliers; smashing enemies' faces) after building up a Heat Meter. Brief splashes of blood appear as characters are injured during combat. Cutscenes also depict instances of violence: a character stabbed in the face with a knife; a man shot from behind with a pistol. The game contains sexual material: characters visiting adult establishments (e.g., massage parlors, cabarets with hostesses alluding to suggestive material; clubs where women are seen pole-dancing and/or posing provocatively); characters often wear scantily clad outfits, and are sometimes depicted from close-up camera angles. A ping-pong mini-game focuses heavily on a female opponent's jiggling breasts. The dialogue also contains sexual references (e.g., "She clearly has a way with her body. I'd like to get a taste for myself"; “Trying to sneak a peek, you perv?!"). As players progress, their character can order and drink alcohol (e.g., whiskey, beer, sake) at various bars/restaurants—a status icon indicates drunkenness, and consuming alcohol can cause players' character to walk erratically. The words "f**k" and "sh*t" appear in the game.
