Taken from Issue # 9 of the Official Xbox Magazine:
Quote:
It seems that nudity is sneaking its way onto the Xbox. Tecmo's DOA3 Extreme Volleyball, features bikini-clad girl fighters bouncing about like never before in gorgeous DOA3-style environments. Even more stunning is a hint Tecmo dropped - that there may be topless modes later in the game.
Acclaim announced a shocker of its own with Dave Mirra BMX XXX. The game enables players to extensively customize female riders in respects to their breast size and whether they have tops at all. Additionally, one of the rewards for completing gameplay objectives is actually having the coin to go to Scores (the strip joint) and getting to watch real cut-scenes of strippers. Acclaim told us that they contacted the ESRB (purveyors of the rating system) on what would hypothetically be allowed in a Mature-rated game. Under those guidelines, they've reverse engineered Dave Mirra BMX XXX and plan to blaze new trails in toplessness, scatolgy, and swearing.
Why it's important: Games are growing up... but not necessarily maturing.
The Official Xbox Magazine take: Moms everywhere are thankful that the Xbox has parental controls. Teens everywhere are thankful Mom can't work the Xbox parental controls.
