Here is something to brighten a grey and rainy Thursday. The ESRB (Entertaiment Software Ratings Board) have recently cast an eye over ’Dead or Alive Paradise’ and this is their utterly priceless description, spotted by GamerInvestments:

“This is a video game in which users watch grown women dressed in G-string bikinis jiggle their breasts while on a two-week vacation. Women’s breasts and butts will sway while playing volleyball, while hopping across cushions, while pole dancing, while posing on the ground, by the pool, on the beach, in front of the camera. There are other activities: Users can gamble inside a casino to win credits for shopping; they can purchase bathing suits, sunglasses, hats, clothing at an island shop; they can “gift” these items to eight other women in hopes of winning their friendship, in hopes of playing more volleyball. And as relationships blossom from the gift-giving and volleyball, users may get closer to the women, having earned their trust and confidence: users will then be prompted to zoom-in on their friends’ nearly-naked bodies, snap dozens of photos, and view them in the hotel later that night.

Parents and consumers should know that the game contains a fair amount of “cheesy,” and at times, creepy voyeurism—especially when users have complete rotate-pan-zoom control; but the game also contains bizarre, misguided notions of what women really want (if given two weeks, paid vacation, island resort)—Paradise cannot mean straddling felled tree trunks in dental-floss thongs.”

The ERSB has now retracted their rather fruity description of the game, claiming this was a mistake:

“The rating summary for Dead or Alive Paradise was posted to our website in error, and we have since replaced that version with the corrected one. We recognize that the initial version improperly contained subjective language and that issue has been addressed.”

  1. Bwahaha that reads as internal e-mail where someone copy and pasted without looking.


  2. thats gold…

    beats a stiff corporate rant anyday


  3. Hehe.


  4. ‘Creepy voyeurism’ There’s just not enough games featuring that…


    • May I refer sir to just a day or so past – Heavy Rain shower scene.


      • I didn’t watch that, as I’m holding until the game comes. Was it creepy?


      • Yeeeah, but that’s semi-tasteful and while deliberately titilating, at least helps to create the feeling of vulnerability in the upcoming scene, a device that’s used often in films and is the closest approximation to the Heavy Rain experience outside of gaming. So it serves a purpose.

        Dante’s Inferno is just full of gratuitous tits.


    • you wouldn’t be saying that if you lived in japan.


      • Given the otaku culture’s apparent insatiable appetite for such things, he probably would.


      • True… and true. So we should expect a sales spike of the PSP in Japan when this releases.


  5. This game sounds great :D


  6. That is hilarious! It reads like it was written by a very unimpressed female employee!

    Also did you mean to put “Dental Floss Things” as the article header – or did you mean to say “Dental Floss Thongs”?


    • looks like it was thongs :)


  7. Well if scantily clad women won’t straddle tree trunks when given a 2 week paid holiday to an isalnd paradise what’s the point in taking them on holiday? Selfish.


    • A very good point. Selfish bitches.


      • ahem :(


      • Tree trunk turned you down?


  8. wahey for the ‘beetle bonnet’ shots ;)
