Rating issues

Cut scenes contain violent elements which are realistic looking. These are limited to physical fights in which there is the use of fists or delivering repeated kicks to an opponent. There is one scene in which, a man who displays injuries consistent with a beating, and is restrained in a chair is to be subjected to violence, but before anything occurs the camera cuts away.

Other issues

This game offers players the opportunity to purchase in-game items in the form of Speed Points that are sold in packs and cannot be earned in game, only purchased on the online stores. Speed Points are used to purchase cars, car vanity items, apparel and short-cuts, which some parents or carers may want to be aware of. Parents, carers or other responsible adults should check to see what is being offered before making any purchase on behalf of a child. It should be noted that the game can still be played without the need to purchase such items.
