Can You Say "inconsistency?"

The ESRB is ridiculously inconsistent. Example:

Boktai 2: T for Teen, Animated blood and Fantasy violence. The "Animated Blood" was tiny spurt of red when you were bitten by a bat or the vampire.

Lunar Knights: E 10+ for every 10 years and up, Animated blood, Mild fantasy violence, Mild language, and Mild suggestive themes. I tend to ignore "mild suggestive themes," because that basically means at least one attractive female (in this case, her) or ANYTHING related to a relationship. Anyways the Animated blood in here was of course, when a bat bit you, but also, in the final boss, you were running around in a pool of vampire blood. Not a pool of vampire blood as in a large puddle of blood coming from the vampire's body, but more like a large arena where you're probably at least ankle deep in blood.

Vampire bats=Teen, Pool of Blood=E 10+?

They need to reevaluate their system. Unless, since it's vampire blood, it doesn't matter. I guess vampires just don't have the rights humans do. I should start a movement for the rights of vampires :P

I'm all for the rights of vampires... and the lefts... and pretty much anything in between.

 

Yeah, the ESRB rating system is crazy, but they're, more or less, suggested, which is why it's up to the parents to make the final call for what their chidren should and shouldn't play. Gasp! Parents' playing the role of parents? What am I thinking? :o

 

Although, some ratings are accurate enough to deter or draw some people.

 

Hmm, I've just been given a great idea. :evilgrin:

And they keep changing their minds. The limited edition of Wind Waker was released as a 3+, but the normal edition (with exactly the same game) was a 7+.

 

Odd.
