PEGI stands for Pan-European Game Information, and it’s an age rating system which was launched in spring 2003 to help parents buying computer games for their children. It’s now used throughout most of Europe as the leading ratings system.
The age ratings implemented by PEGI are there to make sure games are properly labelled with the age group they’re most appropriate for. The rating shown on a game confirms that the content of the game is suitable for a particular age group. Age ratings are not a guide to gaming difficulty.

Explaining the ratings
All PlayStation games are reviewed and rated according to the Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) system. This is used throughout Europe, and was created to help parents make the right choices when buying games. In the UK, games are also rated by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). In both cases, it’s worth remembering that age ratings are a guide to suitability, not difficulty.
