Saints Row 2

Graphic violence is persistent and unrelenting. Players use not just guns, bats, and cars to kill other characters, but also random objects found in the environment, such as chairs and trash cans. Blood is frequently seen, and fatal blows are often highly stylized. A killing stroke with a katana, for example, involves the sword being jammed through the victim's chin and exiting the top of his or her head.

Features scantily clad men and women, frank conversations about sex, and the sounds of people engaged in the act. Some missions see the player's avatar acting like a pimp, chauffeuring around personal escorts and picking up clients. Others actually have the player moving joysticks in rhythm to particular sexual escapades (though the act takes place off camera).

A cornucopia of cuss words. If it has four letters and can offend, it's here.

Characters are seen drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and using drugs. Players also steal and sell narcotics.

Parents need to know that this game isn't intended for children. It features extreme violence in the form of bloody murders carried out with guns, bats, blades, cars, and a variety of other potentially lethal implements. It's also a stage for excessive profanity, drug and alcohol use, and intense sexuality, including missions that require the player to move the controls in rhythm with specific sexual acts. What's more, unlike some other games in the genre, the protagonist never shows hesitation or remorse. Indeed, he or she (players can choose to play as either a man or a woman) often deliberately chooses the most violent means possible of carrying out missions -- declaring such methods "more fun" at least once -- and appears to take pleasure in homicide.
