Rating Summary
Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Language, Suggestive Themes, and Violence. This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the roles of mercenaries searching for a cure for a global disease. Players explore various locations while using pistols, machine guns, and shotguns to kill mutated creatures and human enemies. Combat is highlighted by realistic gunfire, cries of pain, and blood-splatter effects. Cutscenes depict further instances of violence and/or blood and gore: a character electrocuted; a character sawed in half by a spinning fan; corpses severed at the waist, with exposed entrails; severed limbs. The game contains some suggestive material: female characters designed with revealing outfits (e.g., deep cleavage); a character in a bikini writhing and moaning on a torture rack; a man in bed tossing money at a woman asleep; dialogue such as "...I don't think I can hack the computers with my breasts" and "...you go rub elbows, or whatever it is you rub." The word “sh*t” appears in the game.
