[Albion Knight]

the ESRB has recently deemed that their previously issued T-Teen rating is insufficient. Originally, the game received the middle-of-the-road rating (especially for action games) for "blood, violence, and strong language." But now, the new rating is M-Mature...for exactly the same reasons, apparently. We have no details as to why the rating needed to be changed, or if Ubisoft may have added something in the recent months. But either way, we do know places like Wal-Mart will ask for your ID if you don't look old enough to pick up Assassin's Creed.

Hey, some of the best games ever were M-rated, so it's not like the quality will change. But we would like to know what prompted the ESRB to change their minds...

I'd have to agree that the best games are rated M. It shouldn't lower sales expectations except on the Wii

I've been seeing this posted all over as "news" but I'm fairly certain that Assassin's Creed has been classed as Mature for some time already now...
that's why you had to be 18 to watch the videos and such...

It's hard to imagine that it would be initially rated T

Really? That is hard to imagine. I wouldn't dream of this game being for young teens

I thought the same thing, ive always thought it was rated 'M' I mean its got 'M' on the boxart Hex posted a little while ago too.

Even the concept boxart and photoshopped ones used 'M' as rating.
