CERO Adds Content Descriptors To Ratings
« on: April 16, 2004, 05:13:42 PM »
The Japanese game rating system will now include more than just a suggested age.

The ESRB’s Japanese counterpart, the Computer Entertainment Rating Organization (CERO), is adding icons representing potentially-offensive content to its game rating system.  Potentially-offensive ratings (12+, 15+, and 18+) will now be accompanied by the following content ratings:


Adult situations
Sex
Violence
Horror
Gambling
Crime
Smoking & drinking
Drugs
Explicit language


Packaging with CERO’s new content rating system will pop up in Japanese stores beginning in June.

Doesn't the ESRB use these? Maybe not all but at least some.

Yes they do.  They don't have those nifty icons, though!

Most of these are described with icons in the back og my PAL version Soul Calibur 2 booklet... Except for that smoking & drinking one.
