We Dare is an adult-oriented party video game developed by Ubisoft Milan, for the Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (PS3) gaming systems. It is marketed as a "sexy, quirky, party game" and involves kissing, striptease and spanking. However, reviewers in countries where the game is available have noted that the game is in fact a relatively tame party game compilation with only very mild sexual connotations.

Release

The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB), Pan European Game Information (PEGI) and Australian Classification Board (ACB) have drawn criticism[2][3] by implying that the game is suitable for children (despite being marketed to adults): As the boards can only classify the game content, not what the players may be doing, the ESRB rated the game a T, PEGI rated the game a 12, while the ACB gave it an even more lenient PG rating. Months later, the PG rating given in Australia was reviewed, but retained.[4]

The game's YouTube trailer has since been blocked from viewing by Ubisoft,[5] and US release plans were shelved.[6] This was followed by a cancellation of the UK release, citing "[negative] public reaction".[7] The game was later released in the UK.

The game was released in Europe on March 14, 2011, North America on March 26, 2011,[8] and in Australia on April 14, 2011.[1]

Music

This game includes some dancing mini-games with several songs to choose from. All the songs are cover versions. The cover versions were created by "Creative Sphere". The track list includes:

Reception

EuroGamer reviewed the game 3/10 citing it as a "poor quality collection of low-rent mini-games, most of which are badly executed rip-offs of ancient ideas".[9]
