The official Vice City Stories website has been updated today with its rating for North American users. Rated M for Mature by the ESRB, Vice City Stories is only suitable for those age 17 and older. The description of the content given are Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language and Sexual content, as well as Use of Drugs.
The rather unsurprising rating in North America joins that of the UK/European's 18+ rating, and the German 16+ and Australian MA15+. The German version is said to receive some censorships, that include the removal of prostitution, animations of head shots, and not being able to interact with corpses (hitting or kicking them).
