World War Z is a rather violent game, even in its rather specific niche. This third-person zombie shooter may not be the bloodiest game we've ever seen, but it's no slouch, either.
World War Z age rating will come into play if you're, say, a parent looking into buying World War Z for your younglings. If that's the case, read what info we've got on the game's target demographic down below.
World War Z Age Rating
According to ESRB, World War Z has earned a Mature 17+ age rating due to it being prone to showcase excessive violence - not that which the Zeke do to you, but rather the way gunshots damage zombies in combat.
In World War Z, weaponry will - depending on its caliber - dish out truly impressive body damage, with stuff such as the anti-materiel rifles tearing the Zeke to pieces. Small arms such as the ever-popular AK derivatives and AR-15s will devastate bodies as well, however, which greatly enhances the game's already snazzy hit feedback. This makes it a poor choice for younger gamers, however.
It's worth noting that the game doesn't shy away from swearing and other types of bodily damage, either. For example, the Heavy Zeke has a fully-exposed spine, the function of which is twofold: to enhance the game's ick factor, and to clearly point out what the weak point is. It goes without saying that WWZ also plays host to untold gallons of spilled blood, as any good zombie game ought to.
