JJ3&B Thread 2: Violence
(still working on megathread)
Part 2 of Jazz Jackrabbit 3 & Beyond thread.
What rating should future games have? I have consulted www.esrb.org to find out how they determine their ratings. I would like replies to follow my example with further comments at the bottom of the list.
My thoughts: (descriptions can be found here.)
Alcohol Reference - No. Don't need alcohol in a Jazz game.
Animated Blood - Possibly. I think animated blood is usually green, not sure.
Blood - No, animated blood will be fine.
Blood and Gore - Absolutely not. It isn't needed.
Cartoon Violence - Yes, absolutely.
Comic Mischief - Yes, absolutely.
Crude Humor - No, it would cheapen the game.
Drug Reference - No, even though they smoke pot.  (they do! look at their eyes!)
Edutainment - God, no.
Fantasy Violence - Obviously. This is how all Jazz games will be.
Informational - I suppose if you like learning about the Jazz universe this wouldn't hurt :P
Intense Violence - No. Not needed.
Language - Depends. Obviously not the 7 words you can't say on TV.
Lyrics - Jazz Jackrabbit music should never have lyrics. Not a problem.
Mature Humor - Heh, no.
Mild Violence - Absolutely  ++unsafe situations
Nudity - Jazz will always be nude. This does not say anything about anatomical parts, which would be a no. :P
Partial Nudity - Maybe...
Real Gambling - No.
Sexual Themes - Do kisses count? 
Sexual Violence - No.
Simulated Gambling - Possibly. Would add something to the game.
Some Adult Assistance May Be Needed - No.
Strong Language - No.
Strong Lyrics - No.
Strong Sexual Content - No.
Suggestive Themes - Maybe.
Tobacco Reference - "Smoked that turtle like a Marlboro!" j/k :P
Use of Drugs - No.
Use of Alcohol - No.
Use of Tobacco - No.
Violence - Maybe. Do broken bones count? :X
In conclusion, I think the next and future games should be rated T (Teen). Not many people under 13 play JJ2. They can wait. The rest of us will get a game that has more depth and gameplay that will be able to compete with the big sellers.
I would like to see more physical contact fighting in addition to the gun. I can just imagine Jazz being good at kicking with those feet. :P
Don't know what else to say...
