What d the numbers on the front of Wii Games mean?

[dietqueen]

so sorry for posting here but Im sure someone on here can answer my query.

On the front of Wii games there is always a number symbol - ie 3 or 12.

Any ideas what it is surely it cant be age?

They are recommended age rating - the grey/whire ones are PEGI recommendations (so not legal restrictions, although some retailers will treat them as such) If you look on the back it'll tell you why. For example - Call of Duty 3 on the Wii (first game I grabbed off the shelf!) is a PEGI 16+ and on the back it has a fist next to it to indicate violent conten.

The red BBFC restrictions (15 and 18) are the same as on films. HTH
