Name Current Rating My Rating Reason
Ratchet and Clank 2 3+ 7+ Violence
Simpsons Road Rage 3+ 7+ Occ. Bad Language
Simpsons Wrestling 3+ 7+ Occ. Bad Language

I think if you view the game yourself and find out about it then you should be able to know if you can take the game.If u know bout sex,violence and bad language then u can probably take it.Look at me im only 11 and i got Gta2 and 3 when i was ten.And i aint turned mad,in fact according to my teacher im pretty clever.

Age ratings are useful to parents which aren't exactly clued up on games, as it gives them a clear indication of the games content. That way you don't upset little Timmy when you get him Manhunt, and he sees brains and eyeballs being splattered all over the place.
But then again, the back of the box gives a clear indication of what the game's gonna be like anyway, so really, age ratings are there to ensure youngsters can't go in and buy games like that themselves, so it gives parents a little more control over what their kids see.
So yea, age ratings are useful.

Haha, yeah that's a great idea.
Sit all 5-year-olds down in front of GTA and makes them play it until their checklist is complete:
Decapitating - A
Drive-bys - C-
Overdosing - B
Sleeping with and / or killing prossies - A*
Avoiding arrest - A
Rampages with meat cleavers - B
Mutilating police men / firemen / paramedics - A
Car stealing and running over OAPs - C
Jimmy shows much promise with the sniper rifle, and his hatred for the pigs is at a decent level. He is prone to unprovoked outbursts with the uzi, which is always good to see, and shows good initiative with the katana.
His driving skills need improvent, however, as other students produced more blood shed.
What an idiot you are, sir.
