ESRB must complete every game before rating?

[_skitzo_]

Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) has proposed a bill that would require the ESRB to play games in their entirety before providing a rating.
This, like so many other legislation, establishes how little the government knows about games, or anything else for that matter.
The only question I have is this, how will they ever find the time to play all these games, and who would be playing them?

The current rating system, publishers provides the ESRB with video of the gameplay and detailed information about a game's content. The ESRB may also play the game, but the group relies most on publishers' full disclosure. If the publisher lies about the game, that company faces fines and the possibility that the ESRB won't rate its future releases. (Most major chains won't stock unrated titles.)

Do we really need this passed?
