To think that this game should not have got a 12 rating?

Really? This is okay for your average 12 year old?

Haven't seen the game, the picture in the story with two people balancing an apple between themselves (like the old balloon party game) looks harmless.

Does anyone really look that closely at ratings on games anyhow?

Daily Mail?

There are a lot of games that have a 16 or 18 rating but are played and by 12 year olds, and to be honest I do find the game ratings ridiculous.

Some are stated as being 16 when there is nothing wrong with them.

Have you played the game, or read an independent review of it, or are you just going by Daily Mail journalism in your assessment?

I have read independent reviews yes, I just linked to the DM article because it was the first result on google. Obviously a mistake

Perhaps the game should be banned for its "sexual explictness"? Maybe only available to buy from shops with blacked out windows?

Don't complain. What are YOU doing to make kids sexier? At least they're trying!

Fight the good fight etc etc.

Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed, eh robotloolypopman ??

Physically and technically, that is actually true. It's whether you can get away with it that is debatable.

The censors tend to give ratings on the basis of what is actually shown in the game - presumably there's nothing that explicit within the game to require a 15 rating. I agree it's not a game I'd be encouraging a 12 yo to play, but trailer doesn't look like they are marketing it towards the 12-15 age group, more like 20s and up. Storm in a tea-cup, IMO.

"Imagine a room of testerone-fuelled teenagers playing this, something could get out of hand. It sounds drastic but I could see it."

that has me cracking up.

It's not out for another two weeks, so all the is based on the trailer I guess...

Erm, teenagers maybe, wouldn't though suitable for 12 yo!

Based on the YouTube ad, def not suitable for 12+ !!!

Looking back at this thread, I definitely should have linked to the YouTube ad rather than the daily fail article!
