Assassin's Creed II contains the phrase, "She cries as I f**k her"

Some headlines are born great. The ESRB's detailed its M rating for Assassin's Creed II, revealing some pretty special dialogue from the free-running sequel.

"Consumers may also wish to know that the game contains strong profanity, both in English and Italian (e.g., 'f**k,' 's**t,' 'c***o,' and 'm***a'); the most explicit instance occurs when a man frantically describes a 'vision' — 'I'm at the opera . . . the soprano is so beautiful . . . I'm in bed with her, she cries as I f**k her.'"

There's more. There's a "Captain" in it that has "page-boy fantasies".

"The game contains strong sexual overtones," said the ratings board.

"During one 'seduction mini-game,' players are able to press buttons to kiss a woman and remove her dress; with the woman's back facing the camera, the two characters lower to bed and blow out a candle. Some scenes take place inside brothels, though no nudity or sexual acts are depicted. The dialogue contains the following sexual references: 'So the whip or the paddle today?' and 'Does your wife know about your page-boy fantasies, Captain?'"

You go, Mr Ubisoft. The game's out next Tuesday for 360 and PS3.
