The short answer is that Mike is basically acknowledging that some 10 year-olds are more mature than others and that this game rests at the lower end of T-Teen.  We don&#8217;t have a 12+ Seal here at GamerDad, so he rated it 14+ based on &#8220;average kids&#8221; and mentioned that 10+ is what he&#8217;d probably consider okay for his kids.<\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t like &#8220;lines in the sand&#8221; here at GamerDad.
