At last, today the Entertainment Software Association has shared the news that “Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time” has been rated E10+. The official rating reveals that the game has “Alcohol Reference, Cartoon Violence, Comic Mischief, Language” and the description tells the reason behind the rating, let’s take a look, shall we?
This is a platformer game in which players help Crash Bandicoot travel through time to stop a destructive force. Players traverse platforms, jump on enemies (e.g., pirates, robots, dinosaurs), and use a spin/kick attack to knock characters out. Some characters (e.g., lizard pirates) use cartoony guns, rockets, and/or dynamite against others; characters generally disappear amid puffs of smoke and whimsical sound effects when defeated. There are a handful of depictions of alcohol: barrels, jugs near a tavern, with a frothy-mug sign; neon signs of barrels with the word “Tavern.” The game contains a comical depiction of a man vomiting. The words “a*s” and “bastard” are heard in the game.
