Rating Summaries are a supplementary source of information that go beyond ESRB ratings to give parents a detailed yet brief and straightforward description of exactly the kind of content they would want to know about when choosing a game for their child. Most physical (boxed) video games have a Rating Summary, which can help explain why a game received the rating it was assigned. Although they don't appear on video game packages like the ratings do, Rating Summaries can be accessed via the following:
