Vampire:
The Masquerade Blood Hunt
Review

Content Rating

Rated PEGI 18 for extreme violence. The gameplay features strong and realistic-looking violence, involving the use of firearms, bladed weapons and hand-to-hand combat. Violence can result in blood sprays, the quantity of which depends upon the weapon being used. Enemy characters disintegrate, leaving behind items that can be collected. When the player's character is damaged, they fall to the floor and either regenerate or are revived by team members in multiplayer mode. Cutscenes involve more graphic violence, including a vampire attacking a male character, resulting in blood splatter and crunching noises as the vampire feeds. When the vampire notices a cross on the victim's neck, she rips the flesh and muscle from his neck, causing pain, injury and blood loss. The game also includes the use of strong language ('*!@?*').

Vampire: The Masquerade - Shadows of New York is rated PEGI 16 for use of strong language.
