Seriously anyone thinking of moving over here to Aus i urge you to reconsider its so backwards here. This is just one in a long line of things that has added to my pain since moving here.

Mad notes! You do seem to get quite a bit banned over there don't you?

 

[LeJosh]

High in "realistic" violence!?

It's shooting ZOMBIES? Is it because of the "human" blood they have?

Why don't they have a law for certifying 18 year old games? :\

 

[Sash]

My heart goes out to you while i play it.

They do, but they've deemed this game too extreme ven for adults.

OP - I assume you could just import it in a brown envelope?

 

[Beerbaron]

Can you not just import it?

In the article it said it would've been too violent for under 18's then goes on to say. "There is no adult rating for video games in Australia. Any game that fails to meet the criteria for MA15+ is refused classification." Assuming there isn't an 18 certification.

But that's not the real problem at hand! It's a shame, poor OP.

What does PS3 have to do with it? It's not coming out on PS3 like the first didn't.

I mean with Australia banning games and getting censored versions of games. Its easy for them to import games.

 

[weeble]

And yet they make films like Wolf Creek Do they not have an 18 cert for films?

Was GTA4 banned too?

Don't really see a corrilation between zombies and humans - are zombie films banned too, like 28 days later etc.

It must be a relief to know that you won't have any murders in Australia any more.

 

[Tefal]

They'll be totally unprepared for the inevitable zombie apocalypse

 

[CliffyBiro]

Wasn't Manhunt 2 released uncensored in Oz?

Depends how many of them have played Left 4 Dead.

Also how many molotovs and pipe bombs we can stock pile in advance.

There was a thread in GD which mentioned scientists had figured out the probability.
