Rating Summary
This is a first-person shooter, set during the Cold War, in which players explore locations in Europe and Asia while engaging in combat/infiltration missions. Players use pistols, machine guns, assault rifles, and explosives to kill hostile forces in frenetic combat. Battles are highlighted by realistic gunfire, blood-splatter effects, and cries of pain. In addition to ranged combat, players have the ability to stab or pistol-whip enemies close-up, or use them as human shields. Some weapons cause characters to explode into bloody chunks of flesh. A zombie mode also depicts decapitation and dismemberment, as players use bladed weapons and guns to kill hordes of undead soldiers/creatures. In one setting, flyers with the words "peep show" and "XXX" can be seen alongside pictures of women in lingerie; a red-light-district storefront is depicted with a neon sign that reads "XXX." The game includes marijuana-related items for character/vehicle customization (e.g., skins, player cards, charms, vehicle skins); illustrations sometimes depict pot leaves (e.g., Stoner's Delight), characters smoking, and a gas mask retaining fumes. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” appear in the dialogue.
