Rise of Nightmares Details Revealed

Back in September, at the Tokyo Game Show,  we revealed the existence of a Kinect-powered horror title Rise of Nightmares. Since then: Nothing. Until today, when leaked ESRB ratings information gives us a window into this slightly mysterious title.

First off, it's rated M. In spite of Kinect's kiddy-reputation, at least this one game is aimed only at adults It's going to be gory and "sexy" with female monsters appearing with pasties covering their nipply-bits. We also learned that Rise of Nightmares is a first-person game.

Here's a description of the game's plot:

"This is a horror-adventure game in which players assume the role of an American tourist who must rescue his wife from a deranged scientist."

Based on the description, the game's content is gritty, violent and gory. Here's the ESRB's description of the game's shocking content:

"Players use brass knuckles, knives, hatchets, and chainsaws to kill zombie-like creatures and disfigured monsters inside a mansion environment. Combat is highlighted by exaggerated sprays of blood, and damage often results in dismemberment or decapitation—stray body parts sometimes litter the ground.

Some sequences and cutscenes depict more intense acts of violence: a man screams loudly as spikes impale his body; a restrained character’s hand is chopped off before he is killed; a character (cut in half) crawls away in a pool of blood; a soldier is ripped apart by a monster, causing blood to stain the screen. During the course of the game, some female creatures are depicted in revealing outfits (e.g., ‘pasties’ that partially cover their breasts); in one sequence, a woman sits on the central character’s chest and engages in suggestive dialogue (e.g., ‘Oh, how I’ve thought of this—night after night. How I’ve missed these lips.’). Dialogue also includes phrases such as ‘Best sex of my life.’/'Worst sex of my life,’ ‘f**k,’ and ‘sh*t.’"

When last we heard, the game is scheduled for release in 2011. I like the idea of using Kinect in horror context, and I'm very interested in this game. What do you guys think?
