BBFC rating confirms Alone in the Dark’s spookiness
Filed under: PC, Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360
The British Board of Film Classification has posted details on the ‘15′ rating pegged on Atari’s upcoming survival-horror shriekfest, Alone in the Dark. The extended classification information on the BBFC website notes the game’s “frequent use of strong language,” but cuts it some some slack since, unlike Uwe Boll’s ill-fated film adaptation, it “does not dwell on the infliction of ache or injury.” The text reminds us that while there’s “plenty of violence,” it’s all “mitigated by the fantasy context.” Thank goodness!
Aside from the aggressive use of “guns, posts, spades, flamethrowers and other items,” the BBFC also warns that we’d best watch out for “moments of horror, with some of the supernatural beasts that attack the protagonist arriving in fairly unexpected - and shocking - fashion.” So … zombies wearing ponchos, then.
