Chinatown Wars gets BBFC's First DS 18 rating.
No cuts made, however.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars has been rated by the BBFC, and has been giving an 18 rating. Despite the 18 rating, no cuts have been made to the game, allowing gamers everywhere to experience the game in the way Rockstar intended.

As MCV reports, the game has been given a rating of 18 by the UK ratings board. True to its nature, Chinatown Wars carries a consumer warning that the game "contains very strong language and drug references." According to a spokesperson from the BBFC, Chinatown Wars is the first game on the DS to recieve a rating of 18, which is the highest possible before a game is refused classification.

The game so far has not been rated by the ESRB in America or the OFLC, however, Rockstar has previously gone on record to say that they're aiming for an M for Mature rating.

GTA: Chinatown Wars is scheduled for a March 17th release in the USA, followed by a March 20th release for Europe and Australia.
