I agree with TroopuRR. a game doesn't have to have gore around every corner. How many great story tellers have had to use incredibly graphic descriptions of gore. next to zero. it isn't the gore and blood and death that defines a great game. its the story and characters that do that. Also I personally know many people that wouldn't be able to own this game if it ended up being rated M. if the absence of gore and cussing detracts from the story line then we have a serious problem in our society.
