Killzone 3 gets an ESRB rating

The Electronics Software Ratings Board, company associated with describing potential mature content in the video game’s industry in North America, has released a rating  summary for Killzone 3. The highly anticipated title, obviously, as with the two prequels, it is all about violence, gore, blood and vulgar language.

The ESRB has decided to rate Sony’s upcoming First-person shooter an M (Mature) sighting the following content “Blood and Gore, Intense Violence and Strong Language”.

Here is the full M rating summary published by the ESRB:

“This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of interplanetary soldiers who must salvage mankind’s future. Players use electricity guns, pistols, machine guns, flamethrowers, and plasma grenades to destroy robot drones and enemy soldiers. Frenetic battles are highlighted by realistic gunfire and screams of pain; enemies emit large splashes of blood when shot. The game also depicts intense close-up attacks against enemies: snapping necks, slicing throats, stabbing or gouging eyes. Some weapons (e.g., boltgun and sniper rifle) can decapitate enemy soldiers with headshots, and one blood-splattered environment depicts severed human limbs. Language such as “f*ck” and “sh*t” can be heard in the dialogue.”

Killzone 3 is scheduled for release on February 22, 2011 exclusively for PlayStation 3 featuring Move and 3D support.
