That's all there is to the story, and though it is a bit better story than in the in say, the Dead or Alive series, it's still incoherent, contrived, corny, and really just an exuse (like all fighters) to get from match to match. Violence: The story revolves around all of the characters fighting over two swords of destructive power, the good sword Soul Calibur, and the bad sword Sould Edge. Sexual themes: Several of the female fighters move around in a suggestive manner, but beyond this, there are no actual sexually oriented scenes or dialog. Some of the outfits selectable show more than this bikini, like a strapless bra, which reveals more of the upper breasts, a couple of g-strings and other outfits that resemble lingerie. You can stay in this character creation screen, zoom in/out, and pan in on the character. You can make her chest very large, and remove her equipment entirely, leaving her garbed in a skimpy bikini. Lastly, there is a character customizer, where you can create and customize a (male or) female character. These female fighters also have large busts, and are implemented with prominent, overreactive breast physics. The worst offenders are Ivy (roll-over here), Taki ( here) and Sophitia ( and here). Partial nudity: Many of the female fighters wear scant garb from the most modest, who wear full armor, to the worst, who wear almost nothing. Some characters will say "D*mn!," or "D*mn you!," while fighting, if damaged or they lose a match a couple of the characters will use hell in the introduction before matches and a few of the characters' combos and a couple of the story stages have the word d*mn and hell in their names. Mild language: There are two uses of the word hell in story mode, but both are used in context (as in fires of hell), and the second time it's used in text. But since there are alternative fighting games for kids anyway ( Naruto, Super Smash Bros, etc.), I recommend this game for ages (at minimum) 14+.
If it didn't have these element, my recommened age rating would go down. Content sum up: While its combat system is mild and bloodless, and language is negligible, the same cannot be said for its suggestive content, with plenty of near naked women and pronounced, exaggerant breast physics.
