Judging a game by it’s cover

Battlefield 3

The game is age restricted to a 16+ while the recommendation is M for Mature. This is because the game is based on violence as the game uses guns to kill opponents.The cover tells you that the game is about war as there is a male carrying a weapon along with vehicles in the background. This will appeal more to males as the colours are very dark and the man on the front is a soldier.

The game is recommended for a 12+ on the box. This is because the game uses movement that may cause a child to fall and hurt themselves. The game is appealing to teenagers as the people on the front are wearing stylish clothing and appear to be in a club. The colours are very bright and focus on blue, purples and whites.

Fifa 12

The game is recommended as a 3 because there is no violence in the game as it focuses around football. The game is appealing to male football fans that are 8+ but can also be played by many people over that age. The box focuses on 2 football players that appear to be celebrating with a football stadium in the background.
