Maybe. But it was my understanding that the E10 rating was to separate the pretty violent T-rated games from E rated games. Like DK: Jungle Beat got an E10 b/c it features cartoon violence, and E rated games feature none.
 
There's also that skin with the silhouette of that sexy lady gyrating to the music, right?

Duh, because it totally encourages you to buy some glow sticks, color beads, a vapor mask and some Ecstasy and start your own personal bedroom rave.
 
and if you lick the screen during "Shining" it secretes a hallucinogenic slime that makes all colors give off bassy sounds.

Curious, what's the rating on Rez?

My PAL Rez says "3+" :)
And I honestly haven't a clue why they'd put such a rating on Lumines. I guess it must be a simple indicator that you're gonna need a certain level of spatial intelligence and quick reflexes if you want to play Lumines?
