Notable Examples of Observed Sexual Themes, Profanity, and Substances in the 9 Additional Video Games Played on Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo GameCube
Sexual Themes
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 features adult film star Jenna Jameson, who provided the voice and model for Daisy (1 of 2 playable female skaters in the game). Daisy performs provocative tricks on her skateboard and suggestively says, "Oh yeah, now it's time for some X-X-X-treme action!" Behind-the-scenes film clips in the game show Jenna Jameson fully clothed, although they include shots of her raising and lowering her skirt very quickly, posing provocatively with a skateboard, and lifting her shirt to the camera operator, who exclaims, "Damn, they're bigger than I thought they were!" The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind contains a brothel named "Desele's House of Earthly Delights" that features a stage with three females dancing in underwear, one of whom asks the player if he is "looking for a good time." WWF SmackDown! contains a 21-second film clip of wrestler Val Venis with 2 women in a hot tub in a scene that depicts sexual images and an ecstatic expression on Val Venis's face that is suggestive of oral sex.
Profanity
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, which did not receive a content descriptor for profanity, contained 11 uses of profanity per hour of game play and music from an album that received a Parental Advisory Label for Explicit Content from the Recording Industry Association of America.^[20]
Substances
Breath of Fire IV requires the player to buy beer and wine for characters so that they will speak. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 depicts college "frat boys" who stand on beer kegs and drink beer, film clips of professional skaters smoking cigarettes and drinking beer, and film clips of the game developers drinking beer at a party. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind depicts various types of wine, liquor, and drugs that the player can buy, sell, or consume. Most notable is the presence of "moon sugar," an "illegal narcotic" described as "a grainy powder of small white crystals," and its derivative "skooma," which is smoked in a water pipe. Trade in "moon sugar" and "skooma" is illegal, with several merchants refusing to buy it, but early in the game a friendly character gives the player several doses of "moon sugar" with instructions to "Sell the sugar, and start saving for training." When consumed, "moon sugar" and "skooma" increase a character's speed but drain endurance and luck.

Sexual Themes
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 features adult film star Jenna Jameson, who provided the voice and model for Daisy (1 of 2 playable female skaters in the game). Daisy performs provocative tricks on her skateboard and suggestively says, "Oh yeah, now it's time for some X-X-X-treme action!" Behind-the-scenes film clips in the game show Jenna Jameson fully clothed, although they include shots of her raising and lowering her skirt very quickly, posing provocatively with a skateboard, and lifting her shirt to the camera operator, who exclaims, "Damn, they're bigger than I thought they were!" The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind contains a brothel named "Desele's House of Earthly Delights" that features a stage with three females dancing in underwear, one of whom asks the player if he is "looking for a good time." WWF SmackDown! contains a 21-second film clip of wrestler Val Venis with 2 women in a hot tub in a scene that depicts sexual images and an ecstatic expression on Val Venis's face that is suggestive of oral sex.
Profanity
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, which did not receive a content descriptor for profanity, contained 11 uses of profanity per hour of game play and music from an album that received a Parental Advisory Label for Explicit Content from the Recording Industry Association of America.^[20]
Substances
Breath of Fire IV requires the player to buy beer and wine for characters so that they will speak. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 depicts college "frat boys" who stand on beer kegs and drink beer, film clips of professional skaters smoking cigarettes and drinking beer, and film clips of the game developers drinking beer at a party. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind depicts various types of wine, liquor, and drugs that the player can buy, sell, or consume. Most notable is the presence of "moon sugar," an "illegal narcotic" described as "a grainy powder of small white crystals," and its derivative "skooma," which is smoked in a water pipe. Trade in "moon sugar" and "skooma" is illegal, with several merchants refusing to buy it, but early in the game a friendly character gives the player several doses of "moon sugar" with instructions to "Sell the sugar, and start saving for training." When consumed, "moon sugar" and "skooma" increase a character's speed but drain endurance and luck.
