The rating 3+ is basically a game for anyone but children under the age of three must have parental guidance watching them, not that that should be a problem as a child under the age of three doesn't tend to play on game consoles.
The next rating up is 7+, this means that any person from the age of 7 can purchase and play this game suitably without adult supervision.
12+ is the next rating up which supports games being able to be played by people from the age of 12. This is mostly used on games that have small violent scenes or minor swear words.
The next rating up is 16+. This is when all of the violence and sexual content starts to come into games, even if it is only minor it still needs to be either censored or only shown to older people.
And the last rating is 18+. This means that this is a game for adults only, people from the age of 18 and upwards are aloud to play it due to illicit and sometimes offensive content.
This is a pie chart on the status of game ratings in the year 2008.
I have decided to make my game a 16+ because my game is aimed at adolescant people that are old enough to understand some violent and offensive content but not old enough to view sexual or really offensive content.
