The current rating system is too out of date. We really need to have a new rating system. The one we have now was made long time ago where there people think every minor are the same. We are growing so fast these day.
Here what I think the new one should be:
EA: Early Childhood (but who is going to use it) [ex: Elmo games]
E: Every one [ex: Pac-man, MySims, sim city]
LC: Late Childhood (8+) [ex: Zelda, Spiderman movie games]
PT: Pre-Teen (10+) [ex: StarCraft, Time splitter, Sims, Gundams, soul caliber, metriod prime, final fantasy]
T: Teen (12+) [ex: Medal of Honor, Dead or Alive]
YA: Young Adult (15+) [ex: Halo, Splinter cell, Doki Doki Majo Shinpan!, counter strike, half life, GTA, resident evil, Dead or Alive: Extream]
A: Adult (18+) [ex: mortal combat, Doom]
X: Explicit content (18+(only with really heavy sexual content)) [ex: Eroge games]
CG: Casual Gamer (any one) [ex: wario ware, nintendog, brain age]
S: Senior (50+) [ex: square dancing revolution]
And they should also consider the factor of the story, or the intensity of certain things to rate the games:
Like if Medal of Honor show blood, the rating shouldn't go up, because the blood are reasonable in a war, espically WWII, it base on actual event. Historic game should have a lower rating. But for Mortal Combat, their blood showing it not realistic, people can't kill that easily or that bloody.
If there are nudity and it not sexual nudity, just normal nudity, the rating shouldn't go up just of two innocent nipples. If the game have a fuck fest, even without nudity, then yes, the rating should go up.
Also, rating should be depending on 2D or 3D. If it bloody in 2D, the rating shouldn't go up.
I can go on much longer, but I have to get to class.
