Video and Computer Game Software Rating Information
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide information about video and computer game content, so you can make informed purchasing
decisions. ESRB ratings have two parts: rating symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game, and content descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have
triggered a particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern.
To take full advantage of the ESRB rating system, it’s important to check both the rating symbol (found on the front of the game box) and the content descriptor (found on
the back of the game box). Go to www.esrb.org for a complete list of these content descriptors.
The ESRB rating system is designed to provide information about a computer or video game. The ratings are not meant to recommend which games consumers should buy or
rent or to serve as the only basis for choosing a product. Rather, individuals should use the ESRB ratings together with personal tastes and standards when deciding what is best
to purchase.
For more information on the ESRB and video game ratings, go to the ESRB web site at www.esrb.org.
