[Mtblegend]

Hi
AM seriously considering buying geospark but do not understand why it has an age rating of 9+
Just wondering if anyone could clear this up
Many thanks

What? A lot of games are rated 9+....Just get it, it's not extremely violent or whatever...There isn't blood, gore, I seriously doubt there are vulgarities.

It's either for OpenFeint (I don't know if there is OpenFeint in the app), or simulated violence. Should be OpenFeint.

lol.. good question

froggy: yes, there is OF for the game, although no achievements. There is no violence (unless you think of colliding particles as violent)

Yeah, then devs have to rate it 9+ for mild mature/suggestive themes if you have OpenFeint in a game. ;)

Hey Mtblegend,

Yup, it's because of OpenFeint. Don't worry - there's absolutely nothing violent or at all objectionable about geoSpark, and it's perfectly kid-friendly :)

Only if you include the chat feature. Remove it, and it can be rated lower. :)

That's good to know. It seems a fair number of people are using geoSpark chat already, so it's good to have it in there. Hopefully the 9+ rating doesn't scare away too many parents.
