Animated Blood, Fantasy Violence
This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of Thor, a mythical god who battles evil forces. Players use an oversized hammer and elemental attacks (e.g., lightning, earthquakes) to hack through hordes of demons, trolls, and giants. Battles can become somewhat frenetic; loud explosions and punching sounds are heard during each attack, and defeated enemies disintegrate into the air. In one cutscene, a couple of characters are slashed in half and impaled with a sword, resulting in brief splashes of yellow liquid.
