    I got that part. I was wondering what earned it that rating. I can understand the “teen” rating but this article says that in Japan games rated “Z” can only be sold and displayed to people 18+. Games rated “T” in the US can technically be sold to anyone as far as I know.

    So what about the game is considered to offensive in Japan?

      I just spent the last like 45 minutes and I can’t find anything definitive. My guess is the other posters are correct and gore probably pushed it up while in the US gore is fine.

        Ultimately both games involve humans that can be killed with guns so yeah I guess it’s partly that. That’s why I wasn’t allowed to play either a kid haha. At least I think that the characters from Jet Force Gemini are humans?

        Unrelated but this just reminded me of how my brother and I somehow convinced our mom it was ok to play Golden Eye as long as we used the paintball mode cheat haha.
