Troubleshooting
Before seeking assistance, check the following information.
Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB)
Video and Computer Game Software Rating Information
ESRB RATING SYMBOLS FOR VIDEO GAMES & PC SOFTWARE
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.
