GTA4 receives 18+ rating in Germany

Published at 4:46 AM PST

Germany is now the second country to rate upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV, giving the antisipated franshise return an 18 (or 18+ technically) rating today. Making it available only to those over the age of 18 in Germany. You can view it here in Germany or in English here. Interesting fact: the examination of the game, so when they viewed the demo to decide on the rating, was on the 11th of this month (February). I'm willing to bet the rating from ESRB and BBFC is just around the corner, I'm also willing to bet the BBFC will be bring their past experiences with Rockstar into the rating, so don't hold you breath for a simple rating, expect a second war (Manhunt 2 being the first)...
