Game Ratings

The following information is the excerpt and summary from the web site of the Korea Game Rating Board.

For further information, please visit the web site of Game Rating Board at http://www.grb.or.kr/english/default.html

Under "the Game Industry Promotion Act" in Korea, every game material (PC packages, PC online, Mobile, Arcade, Video-Console, Downloaded, Embedded games, etc.) has to be presented to and rated by the Game Rating Board(GRB) before it is distributed in Korea.
"The Game Industry Promotion Act" requires every game developer and distributor to have their games rated prior to a game being released to the public.

Rating Symbols	Custom	Notes	Enforcement
	for all	Titles rated ALL have content that may be suitable for all ages	* Display Enforcement Clearly displayed Age Rating Symbols and content Descriptors on the front of every arcade game machine, computer and video game box, on upper right side of online game screens(every 1 hour, over 3 seconds), the starting screen of mobile games (over 3 seconds).
	12+	Titles rated 12+ have content that may be suitable for ages 12 and older
	15+	Titles rated 15+ have content that may be suitable for ages 15 and older
	18+	Titles rated 18+ have content that is suitable for ages 18 and older

When you find content descriptors that are added to age ratings on the game material, it means that the game material is appropriate for the age category and has traits not harmful for the youngest members of each age rating category.
The content descriptors serve a role as a direct guide to help parents to choose suitable game contents for their children easily.
