Entertainment Software Rating Board
The ESRB is the ratings system used in the United States of America and Canada. Here is a complete evaulation of the ESRB ratings system:
- EC - early childhood - for ages 3 to 5
- E - everyone - previously, the rating meant the game was for children ages 6 and up
- E10+ - everyone 10 and up
- T - teen - for ages 13 and up
- M - mature - for ages 17 and up - typical rating for Grand Theft Auto games
- AO - adults only - for ages 18 and up - never seen in Wal-Mart; as they are banned there however EB Games sells these games. It could be noted that GTA San Andreas received this rating temporarily after the hot coffee mod was discovered.
