And I'm sure 'controls' had nothing to do with it, just like Manhunt.....

Seems kinda strange, the UK is fairly liberal about things and I can't see why this would warrant an 18.

PEGI is Europe wide and not actually enforcable in the way a BBFC rating is, so I don't think it's a reaction to gun crime.

Does anyone even click the links? Or is it shoot first and ask questions later? The only known rating is for Umbrella Chronicles, which as far as I know is the only announced pack in for Europe. And, in case you're wondering, Resident Evil 4 was also rated 18+.

We get Resi:UC pack in? huzzah, PEGI is back in my good books, Resident Evil is definately 18.

[i was sceptical because i just got the MP3 demo channel and that game is rated 12 and clearly more violent than crossbow training.

I should have read the link.

this is ridiculous

Firstly, by liberal I'm fairly sure that Shambolic meant censorship wise, when it comes to TV and things, we're not as bad as the US. Secondly, the majority of the country was for the banning of fox hunting.

Anyway, what is this game bundelled with in the UK? If it's bundled with GTA: Zapper Edition, I'm pretty sure that the rating was well deserved. I didn't even know you could give a rating to hardware.

 Aren't liberals in general anti-gun, pro-animal welfare types?

Or do I have the completely wrong idea of liberal? 

.................so your telling me i have to wait 2 years to carefully handle a plastic accessory?.....the wiimote looks more like a gun then that...

It might have small plastic parts that minors could accidentally swallow - much like Kinder surprise eggs. So yeah, a M rating is absolutely deserved, to prevent ourfuture tax payers to harm themselves.

Anyways, if it is bundled with RE, then I understand it.
