The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) have finally rated the RTS game Spore -- because of mild language and animated violence, it was rated PG.

One of the reasons the BBFC were tempted to rate the game as such was due to a group of aliens in the game that were referred to as "little buggers". To check out the other reasons why Spore got a PG rating, hit the source.

The BBFC have got their rating wand out, waved it about, and have deemed that the upcoming Spore, the only game ever to let you follow the evolution of a species all the way to interstellar exploration should be tagged with a PG rating. The rating is apparently due to mild language and animated violence.

The BBFC comment that “the language in the game comes late on, as the creatures and organisms at the beginning have no method of communication. Once players get to the space level, a group of aliens are referred to as ‘little buggers’ by a character training the player to fly a spaceship.”

    PG? why are the BBFC sticking their noses in, this isn't an 18 rated game that has exceeded PEGI's guidelines, this is a game that would have gotten a PEGI 3+ regardless, there is no need for the BBFC to have their PG on the box.
