The Computer Entertainment Rating Organisation (CERO) is a body in Japan responsible for rating videogames, similar to PEGI in Europe and ESRB in the US. CERO was formed in October 2003, and is a voluntary system; not all games will carry a CERo rating, but its use is growing in popularity.

Ratings Explained

There are four CERO ratings, along with a number of content descriptors. The ratings carry no legal status.
