Heads up, this review covers one of the most explicit and fun filled games of this year. I have not seen a truly AO rated game in many years. Not speaking of ones that get AO Rating for violence and gore only or TO be perfectly clear, this video is AGE restricted. As much as the previous Hitman title in the series which featured a BDSM club there is one here too and with a lot more skin.
This game is definitely not meant for under Quantic Dream's second game and the first to truly highlight David Cage's story-driven approach, Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy is a cinematic interactive drama and, arguably, remains the company's masterpiece. The paranormal thriller has more than a couple of problems, but a North American and European player would have bought distinctive experiences due to the ESRB awarding an AO rating to Indigo Prophecy 's original cut.
In order to reduce the score to an M, Quantic Dream published a censored version in the United States. In , the uncensored edition was remastered for the PlayStation 4, but the self-regulatory institute saw fit to reward a M rating. It seems like the ESRB has become desensitized to obscene content. Leisure Suit Larry 's adventure serves as another example of a game's rating fluctuating depending on the continent. Apparently, when it comes to riskier projects, PEGI seem to be somewhat more accepting than their ESRB counterparts — although individual countries may disagree with a particular rating.
Released without any changes in Europe, Leisure Suit Larry went back to the editing room before earning a North American release.
Forged during an era enamored with full motion video cutscenes, Riana Rouge barely qualifies as a game. Well, to be fair, players exhibit about as much control as Quantic Dream's average project. Starring Gillian Bonner as the titular - ahem - Riana, the heroic protagonist abruptly finds herself teleported to an alien world after being flung out of a window by her boss. In this alternate reality, Riana is a powerful warrior and society's only hope against a sinister tyrant!
Gameplay pivots around picking a color to change the heroine's mood, but this potentially captivating mechanic is poorly implemented and mostly superfluous to the overall story. Another Peach Princess publication, another AO rating. As a voluntary body, the ESRB is rendered powerless when a property is distributed via a means that lacks any real supervision.
A visual novel available only on PC, Tokimeki Check-in! Tokimeki Check-in! This stamp would have instantly attracted the attention of anyone seeking a more grown-up visual novel. Boasting multiple endings and an array of girls to pursue, Tokimeki Check-in! Rockstar loves to court controversy, but the studio crossed the line with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The action-adventure franchise's reputation is built on surprising players and, by extension, media outlets willing to provide free publicity.
Regardless of all the many stunts pulled by Rockstar, the publisher would never actually create an AO game. Such a rating is essentially a ban, and Grand Theft Auto is not a small Japanese visual novel aimed at a niche audience. San Andreas ' infamous Hot Coffee mini-game proved to be the straw that broke the camel's back, and Rockstar had to remove this segment to appease the ESRB.
Who could have predicted such a dull-sounding genre would spawn a seemingly endless amount of fun projects? Also known as Lula , WET shines the spotlight on the entertainment industry, although Hollywood is not the focus.
Proving to be more successful than most AO projects, is Lula any good? No, not really. The graphics are crude but generally not too bad, but the simulation elements are a bit too simplistic.

Playboy: The Mansion is a title not unlike the many, many business sims that have been released before or since. Needless to say, though, the subject matter landed this particular sim with a Mature rating. The first game to be given an AO rating for violent content, Thrill Kill , ultimately never saw release at all as a result of its notoriety.
Thrill Kill promised four players could hop in simultaneously, but bad press ultimately led to the title being canceled. For an idea of how the experience may have been, imagine Super Smash Bros.
Thrill Kill was almost released in and would have been available on the following consoles and maybe more :.
