      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.
