![]() While almost all of the Just Dance games (with the exception of the Kids series, of course) has a song or two with a bit of cheeky innuendo that ESRB flags under “Lyrics” and PEGI downright ignores, Just Dance 2018 is significantly less censored than previous Just Dance games, and some pretty racy lyrics/dance moves made it through.īritney Spears’ “Slumber Party”: “Sheets all on the floor just like an ocean/Building up your fortress like a mountain…’Cause we’ve got them candles hanging from the ceiling low/we use our bodies to make our own videos…Loving me so hard it’s causing trouble/if there’s seven minutes in heaven make it double, triple”Īriana Grande’s “Side to Side”: (This song’s about getting banged so hard you can’t walk, but PEGI can’t necessarily flag or prove that. There’s also a weasel character who makes some cheeky innuendoes, with one-liners such as “Wanna touch my weasel?” and “Wanna hug my moobs?”. Playing as her and any related dialogue to the character is obviously full of suggestive references. However, in both reviews of the game, PEGI somehow completely missed a character whose name is literally Dominique Trix. The original release of this game in 2002 was actually 3+ by PEGI (by comparison, the ELSPA gave it an 11+), which means that PEGI did look at the game again for the HD version and determined “Hey, there’s a bit of fantasy violence here we just kinda ignored before.” PEGI 7: “Non-realistic looking violence towards fantasy characters”ĮSRB: T for Fantasy Violence, Suggestive Themes, Mild Language, Crude Humor My last blog post was about the Simple 2000 games and their devious sexual undertones somehow slipping by with a 3+ rating these are more mainstream titles that the average consumer is likely familiar with and were rated as higher outside of Europe. It’s quite interesting that PEGI will let so much risque content go with an all-ages rating while a single use of ‘hell’ or ‘crap’ can bump a game up to a PEGI 12 rating. However, it seems that PEGI can be very lenient or naive when it comes to what constitutes as sexual innuendo, as the examples in this blog represent. In fact, it isn’t until the PEGI 12 category that “Sexual images and/or sexual innuendo” are allowed at all. According to PEGI’s guidelines, a game rated as suitable for all persons (PEGI 3) should be free of all objectionable content, except for the possibility of very mild violence towards cartoon-like characters.
