| ESRB Rating Guide |
|
The ESRB ratings are designed to give consumers information about the content of an interactive video or computer entertainment title and the ages for which the title is appropriate.
The ratings are not meant to tell you what to buy or to serve as the only basis for choosing a product.
In addition to using the ratings, consumers should check out content descriptions for more specific information about a game's content.
ESRB Ratings: Each product is rated by three independent, trained raters. The raters represent a wide range of backgrounds, races, and ages and have no ties to the interactive entertainment industry. Ratings can be found on the cover of each game.
