Why is thus game rated T?

[DS9]

animated violance, 'crime activaty' (taging with spray paint), i don't think there is any 'swear words' but the police yell at you.

The big thing to remeber is that this game was released pre-GTA but post-POSTAL so parents saw games as a 'threat' but not outrageus enough for M, plus there is a anti grafitte warning when they game boots up. This warning appears in the steam version too.



-edit when i say GTA i mean GTA3, GTA 1&2 are great and parents hated them but when the world of GTA3 hit, games would never be the same

thank you very much!

Actually If you check out the original design for Night Trap that is part of how and why games started getting rated.
The GTA fanchise was only notorious for their solicitation of a much frowned upon, and oldest, profession.

Also. In the first stage of this game once you escape the police chief he will stand there pounding his feet and say "Damn!". But you are correct with the portayal of illegal activities. As well as being hunted and shot by the police.

I just got passed the stages where Cube and Combo get picked up by the GG's and there is some swearing in those stages.

Sheriff says "Damn" when you escape from him and theres a song where a girl says "♥♥♥♥" in the background

[Nocarthief]

well,in some of the songs,you can here a "♥♥♥♥" here and again in the form of a sample,but its only on a couple songs to my knowledge.also "Damn"is used by the Po-Po alot,but i wouldnt really consider that a curse word.

And yes the vandalism of property and being hunted down by helcopter tank men might also add to the rating

[Delia]

It's mainly the lyrics of some songs and the word "damn" the cops use a lot, vandalism, animated violence.
However the GBA version of Jet Set Radio is rated E.

[lilbabyroo]

I just thought beacause i though i hear the word rock that sh** homie in one of the songs.

[Viridia Lacrymosa]

probably because of the mafia, the roleplaying as characters painting the streets with grafiti, some of the lyrics and so on.
