The ESRB Found:
Blood:GamerDad found blood pools, bloody bodies, blood spatter, and more blood. Intense Violence:Bodies slump and fall and react to all the ballistics and explosions you fling at them. Strong Language:Lots of cursing and cussing. Suggestive Themes:It's Vegas baby, you've got showgirls and everything else you'd expect in "Sin City." Protect "Sin City" from terrorists determined to strike renowned casinos and hotels -- and if they succeed here, a much bigger threat to the entire world -- in the fifth "Rainbow Six" game from Ubisoft, based on Tom Clancy's best-selling fiction. This tactical shooter is one of the best in the series to date οΎ– and is easily the most gorgeous, with near photorealistic graphics depicting the flashy Las Vegas strip and surrounding areas. Play as Logan Keller, leader of Team Rainbow, an elite group of highly-trained operatives out to stop the elusive international terrorist, Irena Morales. Your fellow fighters include experts such as Gabriel Nowak (electronics and reconnaissance specialist) from the Alpha Team and Michael Walter (heavy weapons and demolition expert) from the Bravo Team. Played from a first-person perspective, you must first assess the situation and move your team to the indicated location before performing moves such as rappelling down buildings or climbing up ladders, hack computers or use night-vision goggles, and of course, take down enemies using sophisticated weapons and gadgets.  
The Rainbow games emphasize tactics, team-play, planning, and heroism. Seriously, if you're going to let your teen play a violent bloody game, you could do a lot worse than having them rescue hostages from terrorists. However, this is a very bloody and gory game that takes full advantage of the next generation graphics capabilities. Expect blood spatter, dead bodies, intense action, strong language, and, well, everything else you'd expect to see in Vegas (think showgirls).
Other Platforms PSP: Same content, but it's missing most of the bad language and most of the gore. In fact, it's rated T-Teen! PC, Xbox 360, PS3: This is the one covered in this review. Tip: The PC version is cheaper. This review edited by Andrew Bub Comments? Chat about it in our forums!
