Should they add oneBetween T and M Mature Teen 15+ Or something like that. Because you cant say the F word in a T Rated game and blood cantsplater on the wall or ground. i mean should Halo 1 2 and 3 Be rated M!!!????

Nah, they've done it twice (except with E and T) and it never worked out... K/A, and E10. Its too small of a gap to matter.

no, becuase M and AO means you are somewhat mature. I wouldnt even trust a 15 year old with scissors.

E10+ actually worked in my opionion, cuz i've seen plenty of games actually get the rating, but i forgot about the old K/A rating, what was it even for anyways, didnt it mean the game was difficult or something like that? cuz i mean, why the heck would the ESRB be left to decide if a game was difficult or not? (i did have a few KA games though, Railroad Tycoon 2 and Super Mario 64, the latter not being all that difficult since i was like 7 when i first played it)

I am 14 and i play M games but that only because some people (me included) Can handle that stuff as in that If the f word is use several time you dont start saying it. Many Younger people have there mind melted by video games. Saying that i mean that they just have gone kinda crazy by just turning a bit voilent like just hiting people and acting like they have guns and are shooting people.

No. The whole system should be abolished. Two reasons, if your parents are still buying your video games then its up to them to make the decision and if your old enough to work and pay taxes than your old enough to make your own damn decision!

I think the ESRB rating are BS. Only made so politicians can inform the people of how much they had made against violence and really shows you that this country is not that free. I WANT MANHUNT and strong violent suicidal with 100 different curse words games.

Not even close. Go play Shadowrun.

You really are not missing much, I suggest just growing up. If you would be an adult about it, your parents could very well help you out.

I emailed ESRB and explained to them that you cannot give the same rating to Halo and GTA. I suggested T 15+. They said " we have no plans on making a new rating but we will keep your suggestion in mind."

Yeah right.

I absolutely agree that there should be a new rating. Some M games really shouldn't be rated M.

I am 15 an the games rated "M" are not much worse than the real world. My mom and dad don't mind getting me those games because my dad playes games and he knows I can haldel some blood and a cuss word. If you cant handel that then I guess you should not be able to go out into the real world. Because theres going to be stuff wores than that.

Doesn't Europe have a 15+ rating? I wouldn't mind having this rating, it might help out a lot actually.
