PEGI
Ratings System
Games that are given this rating are
generally considered to be suitable for all age ranges. Although these games
may not be completely absent of violence; it usually only comical “Tom and
Jerry” like violence without graphic content such as blood or mutilation. Games
with this rating should not contain any sounds or pictures that are likely to
frighten young children and also shouldn’t contain any bad language.
PEGI 7 is very similar to PEGI 3, however, the major differences are that
games with this age may contain sounds or images that may frighten young
children which is why these games are not considered suitable for anyone below
the age of 7. 
Games that
are rated a PEGI 12 have a slightly graphic edge to them and may contain scenes
that encourage violence and confrontation towards humans or existing animals. Furthermore;
games that are rated a PEGI 12 may contain slight nudity throughout the game
and may also contain some mild language in the dialogue.
This rating is given to games that contain graphic content such as
violence or sexual content that looks the same as they would in real life.
Games of this age range usually contain extreme language that is not at all
suitable for children. 16 rated games may also include the use of drugs and
depiction of other criminal activities.
Games with an 18 or over rating will include the depiction of
gross/strong violence throughout. They will also include extreme language and
the use of drugs
