ESRB already has given 2K’s BioShock 2 a mature rating for intense violence, sexual themes, and strong language. This probably does not come as any surprise to fans of BioShock.

Here is one part of the description that ESRB gave for why they had given BioShock 2 a Mature rating.

Consumers may wish to know that the game contains minor sexual content. While exploring Rapture’s Red Light District, players can overhear conversations alluding to prostitution (e.g., “Hello there, how much? . . . Twenty bills and I’m all yours, sailor.”); players may also see a variety of ads and signs for strip clubs (e.g., “Eve’s Garden XXX”)—these brief scenarios contribute to the Sexual Themes descriptor (i.e., the violence and profanity account for the Mature rating). The game includes frequent use of strong profanity (e.g., “f**k,” “motherf**ker,” and “c*nt”) and some lesser four-letter words (e.g., “sh*t” and “tw*t”); in one instance, an enemy attacks Delta while screaming, “F**king sodomites everywhere!”

Yup there you have it and this is just one part of the summary. After reading the detailed summary it just makes me want to play the game even more. I just have one question to ask and that is ‘Is ESRB marketing for BioShock 2?
