The North American rating for "M" is 17+, which means you can legally purchase the game no-questions-asked. But, if you look young, I recommend you bring your driver's license or something just in case they need proof.
The danger with getting your age checked on this game is that if the cashier refuses to sell it to you, they are still certain to sell that copy the same day because of demand.
If in doubt go with someone old enough, or get the next person in the line to buy your copy as well, then give them the cash.
My cousin lives in Ohio and shes twenty and she needs to be checked everytime she buys an "M" rated game she needs to get checked... So if you're lucky you may get someone who may not check... Really, it all depends on the person.

I have a friend and about 2 years ago at Target he got Id for a game and the best part was he was 32 at the time.
well if you go to gamestop and have a casual clerk, then he probably won't care. If it's the manager that checks you out, he'll probably care. I wouldn't go to walmart to buy it though, they might deny you.
I'm 6'4, 21 and have a goatee, and I just got checked yesterday for Two Worlds of all things, had my license and all, but, I had to have been older than the clerk, I'm assuming he just didn't want to sell me two worlds for 7.99, lol...

yea make sure it has your pic and your b-day on it otherwise they may hassle you.
Down here in Florida some places ID you. cjgangsta
yea im in FL too, and some gamestops can be a pain about it. but then again its there job and i used to work for gamestop and the managers are always uptight about age restrictions because they can lose their jobs. nothing worse then seeing a fellow gamer thats only a few months away from buying a "M" rated game and you have to turn them away.

I wouldn't feel bad about it. I would just tell them to either order it online to not deal with the age restrictions, or have their parents come in with them. The law is the law man.

If you live in the U.S. You can be 17 to buy M rated games. Stores will always try to ID people because they have to. I get Id'd all the time and I don't care. I've been buying M rated games forever.

ya its funny just because people are being stupid in this forum, they will check i.d for this game, if your not old enought they wont sell it to you unless you go to some sketchy place that doesnt check id (cant think of any place that wouldnt)
or get your older brother or someone to buy it for you, end of story
What you do is, if you're under 17, bring the game to the cashier and see if they call you on the 17 thing. If they do, say "Oops, didn't notice, then look around for a bit more, and leave. Upon exiting the store, proceed to take a dump on the guy's car, house, and girlfriend.
and the best of all this is.... in my country (netherlands) they don't care how old you are!! even if youre 12 and you walk into any gamestore, you can get anything you want(absolutely anything) right down to manhunt. But to be serious on the matter: I pity you guys that you have to be a certain age and therefore i agree with all the other people who said you just have to bring some ID. Good luck with getting the game!
