CUTSCENES Failure to provide direct access to cutscenes will stop this submission proceeding
The BBFC defines a cutscene as a non interactive, linear cinematic, whether pre-rendered or generated in real-time. This is unlikely to include user-generated replays, fly-throughs and in-game hints and cutaways. However, scenes of over 15 seconds in length, or those which contain significant, contentious material, are required. Where cutscenes are generated in real-time but vary in detail dependent on player input, only the generic versions of those scenes are required.
Cutscenes can be provided either within the game itself and accessible via a debug menu or on separate media. Please indicate below how the cutscenes have been made available and give an approximate total running time.
Supplementary Media In-game debug menu (details) ..................................................................................................................................

EXTRAS Please ensure that any DVD style extras or unlockable content (i.e. bonus videos, trailers, image galleries etc.) are made available and give details on how these can be accessed. For any video, please give an approximate total running time. Where relevant, please ensure any in-game unlockables (i.e. extra levels, characters, mini games, weapons, power ups etc.) are also accessible.

SUPPORTING MATERIAL
Failure to provide adequate supporting material which enables easy access to all parts of the game will delay your submission Examiners are required to sample gameplay throughout the game, not just at the beginning. Please provide the following, where relevant, to ensure that all parts of the game are easily accessible.
Debug Menu (with instructions on activation and use) Command console (Typically for PC games, please include instructions) Cheat codes (God mode, level skipping, ammo, weapon unlocks etc) Walkthrough Save games (Please ensure these are taken at regular points during the game and / or give access to all unlockable content) Synopsis / Script Details of game controls Manual
GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE
Gameplay footage can be helpful in reaching a classification decision. If provided, please ensure that it is concise and is limited to the contentious elements of the game. Such footage should not normally exceed 60 mins running time. Copies of footage that may have been submitted to other ratings boards are perfectly acceptable and can be provided on either VHS, DVD or any other digital file format. (If supplied on VHS, please ensure it is of PAL standard)
