Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Rated by the ESRB

The latest entry into Square Enix’s action RPG series has been rated by the ESRB and been given “E10+ for Fantasy Violence and Mild Suggestive themes”.

This is a role-playing game in which players assume the role of one of three characters aspiring to become a “Keyblade” master. Players explore fantasy worlds, perform missions and mini-games, and battle various enemies along the way. Characters use magic spells and a giant key-shaped sword to attack enemies (e.g., humans, ice golems, dragons, magical suits of armor) in melee-style combat. Enemies react to damage by crying out in pain or bursting into small orbs that serve as items and power-ups for players. One cutscene depicts a man sinking a keyblade into his chest as a burst of light appears. A female character’s breasts jiggle slightly during cutscenes.
