| The PEGI doesn't have the same conception of violence with ESRB. Two examples classified T by ESRB for the same reason (Violence) :
| |
| *[[Battlefield 2142]] is classified 16+ by PEGI, but classified T by ESRB (because the weapons are real and the enemies are humans)
| |
| *[[Ratchet: Deadlocked]] is classified 3+ by PEGI, but rated T by ESRB (because the weapons are unreal and the enemies are robotics or imaginary creatures), [[Jak X]] has a 12+ rating for PEGI, but the reasons for the T rating are sensibly the same.
| |
| *For the racing games, like [[Need For Speed: Most Wanted]], there is a classification 3+ by PEGI, but it has a T rating by ESRB. The vast majority of racing games with violence are classified 3+ by PEGI.
| |
| *The [[:Category:Grand Theft Auto|Grand Theft Auto series]] have a 18+ rating, but they only have the "Violence" icon. But according with ESRB, we have also references with drugs, bad language, and a little bit of discrimination (and sexual content for the modded version of [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]).
