Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded is just short of releasing in Japan next month so it was obviously going to receive a rating from the ESRB. What wasn't so obvious was it's content, until recently when the ESRB released the following description and gave the game a rating of Everyone 10+ for "fantasy violence".

This is an action role-playing game in which players control a character named Sora, who must navigate a series of virtual fantasy worlds to decipher a hidden message. Players mostly use magic spells and a large key-shaped sword to strike and slash at creatures and classic Disney villains (e.g., Maleficent, Hades, Jafar). Some levels allow players to engage in top-down turn-based battles or traverse through side-scrolling levels while firing magic spells at waves of flying enemy creatures. Characters react to damage by grunting/crying out in pain or bursting into small orbs.

Without the mention of the turn-based battles and side-scrolling levels, the description is pretty standard for a Kingdom Hearts title. Fans are speculating that with the release of the ESRB's rating, the game may arrive on Western shores as soon as this Winter. This could be both good and bad as some fans are getting fed up with the constant releases of 'spin-off' titles.
