San Andreas gets adult rating
THE US video game industry yesterday changed the rating of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to adults only.
The best-selling title, which was designed by Edinburgh-based company Rockstar North, contains explicit sexual content which can be unlocked with an internet download.
The decision followed intense pressure from politicians and media watch groups. Rockstar's parent company, Take Two Interactive, also admitted for the first time that the sex scenes had been built into the retail version of that game - not just the PC version but also those written for Xbox and PlayStation2 consoles.
"There is sex content in the disc," said a Take Two spokesman. "The finalisation of any game is a complicated task and it's not uncommon for unfinished content to remain on the disc."
