The man must've been forty. Carding him was like asking if he Pope was Catholic. He fished through his wallet, found his license and showed it to the Capcom jacket. The man was then ushered into a small cubicle, behind a white curtain to play the new Biohazard (Resident Evil in the U.S.) game.
Japan's Computer Entertainment Rating Organization has labeled Biohazard 4 as "For Players Older than 18 Years Old." To give you an idea of how CERO rates stuff, Metal Gear Solid is for ages 15 and up, Kameo is for players over 12 and Mario Kart is for all ages. Retailers are asked to sell software in accordance with these ratings, but are not punished should they choose not to do so.
You'd think, though, at an industry sponsored event, companies would actually follow these ratings and set an example. You'd think.
After all that, they still let a kid in.
