I know for a fact, When I was a kid and writing my own games 20 years ago, most of my level designs involved spikes, fire pits, crushing columns and other vile traps. Still, like Malouff mentioned - they do look more colourful now. I guess PEGI rarely looks at the sort of cartoons kids draw.

They used to be pretty leniant with stuff like Smash Bros Melee being a 3+ and Sims 2 being a 7+. But more recently they have started being pretty harsh. Upping Zelda: Ocarina of Time to a 7+ and then a 12+ for the Virtual Console release on the Wii. Scribblenauts is a 12+ and so are games based off of cartoons which garner a U or PG BBFC rating. Final Fantasy XII and FF7: Crisis Core being rated a 16+ is very shocking, considering I think it is 7+ territory to be honest as theres nothing that wouldn't be seen in a PG film (such as Advent Children). Jungle Beat for Wii has a 7+ rating where the original was a 3+, and theres no justification in version differences.... odd. Oh well, congrats for bumping it down a notch.

But the new ones don't look bad either. I've been so hyped for this game for so long. Hoping it comes out soon! :D That’s a shame that you guys had to remove the chainsaws.

I loved the spinning chainsaw in the IGN video. It doesn't look as threatening now :( Both do however look more colorful now. The best news was the word FINAL in the quick update. CONGRAGULATIONS PressPlay Did you submit it to Nintendo in Europe yet then? Here's hopping this baby also gets submitted for a ESRB rating and to Nintendo of America soon.
