Classification Description:

Mature (M)

The content is moderate in impact. Films and computer games classified M (Mature) contain content of a moderate impact. M-rated films and computer games are not recommended for children under the age of 15. They include portrayals of elements such as violence and themes that require a mature outlook. However, children under the age of 15 may legally access this material as the classification rating is an advisory category. Parents, teachers and guardians may need to find out more about the specific content before deciding whether the material is suitable for children in their care.

I’m very curious to see what comes of this. Fans of the franchise have been clamoring for a Call of Duty style game for ages. Could this finally be a G.I.Joe game with a bit of bite to it? Well find out soon enough!
