Song lyrics also contain suggestive material (e.g., “We been keeping it PG/But I wanna get a little frisky” and “Bind your hands all over me/And the you bite your lip/Whisper and say/We’re going all the way . . .We’ll be lovers for sho”).
Worms Revolution Extreme
Platform: PS Vita
Rating category: Everone 10+
Content descriptors: Cartoon violence, comic mischief, mild language
Other: Includes online features that may expose players to unrated user-generated content (PS Vita)
Rating Summary: This is a turn-based strategy game in which players control teams of worms in battles to the last man (worm) standing. From pulled-back and zoomed-in perspectives, players move their worms across 2D landscapes and use a variety of “cartoony” weapons (e.g., bazookas, shotguns, dynamite, proximity mines, baseball bats, flying animals) to defeat opposing teams. Turns are accompanied by realistic gunfire, colorful explosions and humorous remarks from worm characters. Some of these one-liners include cheeky innuendo (e.g., “You call this a date, honey?” “Have a feel of my two-by-four,” and “Wanna see my hard hat?”). The words “goddamn” and “hell” can be heard in the dialogue.
