Hey all,
I'm apparently supposed to be writing a short research paper about media ethics towards the end of the semester. Right now I don't really know what I'm going to write about, so I'm just looking for information that might lead to something.
So, what I'd like to know is are there any games that got an inappropriate rating? I'm particularly intereseted in games that got lower ratings than they should have, but games that were grossly overrated are good too. Also are there any games that you know of where the rating was changed after it's release? I understand that this is mostly opinion.
I know that this happened to Lunar 2 on the Sega Cd. My copy of Lunar, which is the newer release, rates the game as MA-13 (is that the old teen rating?), while Lunar 2 is rated as E (Lunar 2's humor is quite a bit more raunchy than Lunar's IHMO). Both games have Teen ratings for the PSX re-releases.
If you guys have any suggestions about related stuff I should look into, I'd appreciate that too.
Thanks in advance.
