Dead or Alive: Paradise is rated M for “creepy voyeurism” and “dental-floss thongs”

With all the jiggling, the playful posing, and the complete rotate-pan-zoom control – the scantily-dressed girls of Dead or Alive: Paradise have received an M rating from the ESRB. Here’s what the rating board had to say about their little beach ball vacation, and for both the curious and the parentally cautious, the game is filled with “creepy voyeurism” and “dental-floss thongs”.

With all the jiggling, the playful posing, and the complete rotate-pan-zoom control – the scantily-dressed girls of Dead or Alive: Paradise have received an M rating from the ESRB. Here’s what the rating board had to say about their little beach ball vacation, and for both the curious and the parentally cautious, the game is filled with “creepy voyeurism” and “dental-floss thongs”.

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.

In case you haven’t seen the girls in action, here are some scans, or better yet, the Japanese commercial. Interested? It’s not just for Japan – it’s coming to Europe and the US as well.
