Rating Summary
Gungrave G.O.R.E is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, and Strong Language. This is a third-person shooter in which players assume the role of a resurrected gunslinger on a quest to destroy a drug cartel. Players use machine guns, cannons, and a metal coffin to shoot and kill gangsters/thugs in frenetic combat. Fire fights are accompanied by realistic gunfire and large explosions. Enemies often explode into pieces when killed, resulting in large blood stains and body parts that litter the environment. Players can also perform finishing attacks on weakened enemies, sometimes resulting in close-up headshots. Cutscenes depict additional acts of violence: an enemies' neck snapped all the way around; a character shot through the chest, causing a large hole to appear. The game contains a central storyline about a fictional drug called Seed; there are references to modern drug terminology (e.g., “Raven Clan is a drug cartel with 4 bosses”; “But we all know they are the biggest drug cartel in the world.”) and depictions of the controlled substance in vials. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” are heard in the game.
