Risk Urban Assault
Ubisoft EMEA-
XBox 360 - 05/04/2016
Advice for consumers
This game was rated PEGI 7 because it contains violence against humans that is not shown but is implied.
Brief outline of the game
This game is a digital version of the well-known board game Risk. You need to conquer territories and defeat your opponents in order to dominate the battlefield and the world. This version of Risk takes place in 2080 after the world has been plunged into turmoil due to dwindling resources and climate change. Side with one of the factions and make sure you take control of the remaining major cities.
Content specific issues
All the violence in this is implied. In the beginning of the game you’ll see an intro movie highlighting the causes, and their effects, that turned our world into a post-apocalyptic world. Tanks taking out tanks, airplanes bombing bridges, tanks and buildings are a few scenes that are depicted. During the gameplay battles are shown via a semi-transparent holographic representation giving an overview of the battle. You see airplanes killing tanks and tanks killing tanks. These scenes lack realism since they are blue holographic projections, but still fall under implied violence.
Other issues
The game features commanders which have special powers. These special powers ultimately have the same effect; enemy units are killed by them. However, the animation differ. This doesn’t change the rating.
