    As seen on the Advertisment, Toddlers along with their Mother, are playing a TEEN rated game. It's said on the box rated T for Teen, and it even says it in the commercial.

    What's up with this world?

    My sister is ten, and my cousin is six, and they both play rated T games. As long as there is no nudity, bloody violence or sexual content, I don't see what is so wrong with it.

    In this sense, the parents are playing with the kids, therefore it would be logical to assume that the parents are willing to moderate what their kids are playing by joining in with them and explaining what is right and wrong concerning lyrics/violence.

    It's a commercial. Do we really have to argue about this?

    Well, first of all, it's only rated T for language, which doesn't surface too often, and they've probably heard all that's said in the game, and then some from other people anyway. Plus, profanity really isn't different from any other words unless you focus on them.

    But more importantly, just like you can do this with PG-13 movies, anyone can legally play a T-rated game, so long as they have adult supervision.

    I play M-rated games, and I play the new Guitar Hero with my 7-year old brother all of the time. It's not that big a deal.

    I've played guitar hero and I didn't notice the rating of the game and the comerical with the toddler until you pointed it out to me.
