Rating Summary
NINJA GAIDEN 4 is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language, and Suggestive Themes. This is an action game in which players assume the role of a ninja (Yakumo) attempting to lift an ancient curse placed on his clan. From a third-person perspective, players use swords, metal claws, drill weapons, and shuriken to kill human and fantastical enemies in frenetic melee-style combat. Some attacks and finishing moves result in dismemberment and/or decapitation of enemies, often from a close-up perspective. Large bloodstains, severed limbs, and torsos remain on the ground during battles. Cutscenes depict further instances of violence and/or blood/gore: an enemy sliced in half; a character's arm cut off; a character dramatically impaled. Some female characters are depicted wearing outfits that expose deep cleavage; one female character's breasts jiggle during cutscenes. The word “f**k” appears in the game.
