Is this game a 16 or 18 rating?? On some pics it has 18 others 16+

Need quick reply as im about to go and buy it!! :D

Thanks.
 
I got mine from town today as my order from internet said I would get it day of release, but obviously not.

Anyway, my copy of Crysis says on box its 16+.
 
mine's the special edition tinny, why it should be one year (+) less is a bit of a mystery though...
 
Game is 16+ by PEGI, which is not enforceable by law as PEGI is only a recommendation.

Basically means that anyone even those under the age of 16 could purchase the game without problems, although its upto the store manager/staff if they sell it to you still.
 
I suspect it's becuase the BBFC have legally rated the Special Edition copy as it contains additional bonus features they felt required a 15 rating in law.

PEGI is a voluntary scheme setup by the games industry, and the closest PEGI rating to 15 is 16+.
 
Mine is 16+ PEGI too, so you would think it's 16+ all over europe, but according to Games Tracker, the PEGI rating is 18+

There's even a picture of the box with 18+ on it:

(Sorry to go off topic, but I don't want to use the 'main' thread as it contains spoilers)

For anyone interested in how the Full Game performs compared to the DEMO, I ran the GPU_Benchmark on both (using identical settings) and there is absolutely no difference.

This is true but very few game shops will sell a PEGI rated game to somebody under that age.
Has there been an overhaul then? No one ever stopped me from buying PEGI rated games back in the day :p

BBFC ones were another matter, but not always...
