TOMB RAIDER will be rated MA15+ in Australia. That's the highest rating any game can get, alongside Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell. It sure as hell won't be R18+ since there's no sex in it. Duh.

That and plus in the UK, age ratings are different than the US. In the UK there's an option of 17+, not just 16 or 18. Different countries will have different ratings, not all are the same all the time in fact its fairly common for it to be different. |

The rating system worldwide is completely different.
An example of this would be Forgotten Sands (dont' judge me, I just picked the first game that came to mind!). It's rated PG over here for mild themes and in the UK/US it's rated 16+. So, back to TR, it won't be anything short of 15+ (here in Australia). Anyway, PEGI gave the game rating as 18+ when Turning Point premiered so UK's rating is probably fixed. |

ESRB is the only rating board that I can think of that uses a 17+ rating. EDIT - Just saw the edit. Oh, right. |

Probably lol nvm . ESRB is american as well isn't it? they have their stickers on a lot of stuff over here in UK, partly what led to my misconception. i wonder how all this works =S.

Well, we should be getting an R rating some time this year. So, hopefully it's implemented before Tomb Raider's release, then I'd say it will be given an R rating.
