Rating Summary
This is a collection of action games in which players assume the roles of elite soldiers engaged in strategic espionage and military missions. Players complete missions by using knives/swords, pistols, machine guns, and explosives to kill enemies (e.g., soldiers, robots). Firefights are highlighted by realistic gunfire, cries of pain, and blood-splatter effects. Some levels allow players to use close-quarter combat (e.g., choking, stabbing, cutting throats) to incapacitate guards. Cutscenes contain additional acts of violence: a man shot in the head; a captive strangled and shot; a character sliced by a sword. The collection contains some suggestive material: a Snake Beater achievement earned after repeatedly zooming in on a pin-up poster; a Sexting achievement earned after sending revealing photos (clothed) to superiors; an inventory item described as a "[p]ublication with adult-oriented material. Full of girly photos..." One sequence depicts a nude male character with exposed buttocks. The text/dialogue sometimes references drugs (e.g., “drug smuggle operations”; “600kg shipment of drugs”; “packed tightly with plastic bags full of white powder”).
