The biggest problem compairing the differences between the 2 countries is the rating systems themselves, the BBFC uses a much better rating sytem. They use 13, 15, and 18 as age restrictions while the ESRB uses T 13, M 17, and AO 17+ it doesn't give them alot of room when rating games. What I mean by this is, what is appropriate for a 18 year old but not for a 17 year old? AO is much like NC-17 film rating which is usually reserved for softcore pornography. A U.S. M rated game is an adult title. Now if in the U.S. an M rated game was 15yrs old instead of 17 then many titles would need the AO rating.
I think I stated this the way I was thinking it lol.
