I think the game is relatively universal. It's not like the game itself has any mature content, it just so happens that we're mostly an aged community. These days it seems the normal view is that it's socially unacceptable to be playing games with children in mind when the general gaming population plays mature games. I wouldn't say we're childish for still playing JJ2 though, simply because we enjoy it for its qualities (how many 2D action games with a competitive multiplayer can you name!), and not because we're against video game violence. It's not like it's any more childish than Mario and Sonic, which are both highly popular franchises amongst older gamers.
