The Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) rating board is defending its "PEGI 12" rating for the controversial We Dare, stating that the board considers the content of the game for a rating, not the context. Cubed3 has the organization's statement, which notes the game was rated PEGI 12 because "it contains mild swearing, minor assault on a human-like character and words/activities that amount to obvious sexual innuendo, explicit sexual descriptions or images and sexual posturing."
Ubisoft reiterated that the game is "intended for mature audiences," as evidenced by the game's ad campaign. The company also plans to add a "Parental Discretion Advised" sticker to the box, advising parents of the "potential sensitive nature of the game content." If you've got kids, best to keep this game in the locked nightstand drawer with the other... unmentionables.

I thought most of Europe didn't care as much about sexually explicit content as Americans do. I mean, hell, the Italians had billboards with bare tits on them all over the place (for some fruit juice or something) when I was there.

@HissingNewt They can probably just tell as well as we can that it's just an awful game

Nah. Neither place cares about sexual content anymore like they did in the 1980's. There are probably more people on message boards who like to go into the "why are Americans so uptight about sex" rant than people who really want to protest this crap.

"Minor assault on a human like character" - best line ever from a description of a video game.
I guess I must have missed this but no doubt the Daily Mail in the UK is up in arms over this, preaching the end of the world, damnation and all that?

Babies are like humans.
This game is about hitting babies.
This is a game to train you to be a pedophile.
ALL OF YOUR CHILDREN WILL BECOME PEDOPHILES.

On a "human-like" character? So what about Conker's bad fur day? Its ok cause a squirrl is doing naughty things? This kinda intrests me in researching how games are rated.

@Dirty There's a documentary called "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" that is about the MPAA and the people who get to decide what movies are rated. It's really good. It's been out for about five years.

And thus my great hating of PEGI continues, they cant rate games for shit. They Rated LittleBigPlanet a 7 (Not a 3) for "Violence"... it's bloody rediculous...

The wretched far right tabloid UK nazi rag The Daily Heil/Fail/Mail are going to go ballistic when they see this.
Should be amusing to watch.

when I went to France there was a store with a giant topless woman on it. Like massive tits.
Americans are just prudes. (I am american btw).
oh sure advertise Call of Duty to the masses but ban the game about flirting.
