Forums - Nintendo - GTA: Chinatown Wars is first 18 rated game for Ds.

The BBFC seem to be a lot less severe than the ESRB, I just googled it and they gave Resident Evil 5 a 12 rating, then again they gave House of the Dead: Overkill and Godfather 2 an 18, weird.

Resident Evil 5 a 12 rating???? That has to be a mistake.

Resident Evil 5 is not rated yet. They probably gave the TRAILER for re5 a 12 rating.

@Chibilobolib: BBFC didn't rate it. It's 18+ by PEGI.
Chinatown Wars isn't the first 18+ game on DS, but it's the first DS games rated 18+ by BBFC.

 

Pegi of course being the cleaning lady at BBFC.

Well at least it got through the rating system. It shows how different GTA is from what the DS is used to getting.

@Ilewdebkram: Well PEGI actually is a self-regulatory system. I don't know do all the games released in UK have to go through BBFC or does BBFC rate the game if they suspect the PEGI rating is off or if they want to ban the release of the game, as Elokuvatarkastamo does in Finland (although, they take a game into inspection only if they receive complaints and only illegal stuff gets banned).
