One more video. Does Hatred go further than Sweettooth's story cutscenes in the newest Twisted Metal I wonder?
I wouldn't watch this one if you're at all squeamish.
Whether it makes any difference that the player is controlling the action vs. a cinematic I don't know. But I would have thought it simply matters what is happening on the screen. And in fact such cutscenes are usually more detailed than gameplay footage.
It's interesting to look up actually. Here's Twisted Metal. They go into some detail, so you don't actually need to watch that video if you want to understand why the rating was given. Very informative. Twisted Metal received an M:

I wonder if Twisted Metal managed to make it over here to Europe with the cutscenes in the game. The previous game, Twisted Metal Black, they had to take the cutscenes out for the European release, but they remained in America.
Awww, no such detail. In fact, it makes it seem pretty unremarkable.
