its because there still stuck in the mindset that games are for kids.
what i cant understand is you cant tell me this is worse then GOW3 or splatterhouse.
reading the classification report it says the reason for its ban was the frequent graphic fatalities.
what about GOW3s?
what about dantes infernos?
what about splatterhouses?
come on, you cant say this is not ok in one game then turn a blind eye to the next 10.
im convinced its money under the table, honestly thats the only logical explanation!

dont hold your breath, everyone involved in getting a R18 passed is seriously dragging their feet.
if it ever happens, ill be a great grand father by then!
what i cant understand is GOW3 the goriest most violent thing to ever hit planet earth is ok for 15 year olds to play, but this is not?
WTF?
im sorry, but i refuse to believe this is worse then GOW3!
dont really care, but what pisses me off is i wanted to get the kollectors edition and for some reason only the standard editions available online.
ill be shocked if it gets unbanned allot of games have tried and only a few have succeeded.

True. The rating system there is also skewed…. Some of the most gore-filled stuff gets past but others don’t.

more than likely, this game will be unbanned considering how big the franchise. ive seen alot of Australians expressing their opinions about this maybe australia will finally get like a new rating system for more adult games that way australian gamers wont have to worry about good games getting banned

AVP got released, it was banned then unbanned same thing happened to F.E.A.R 2.
eh, EB gave me a refund for my preorder today.
looks like ill be importing it.
heres what i cant understand, GOW3, splatterhouse, dantes inferno, AVP, L4D, dead rising, some of the most goriest games ever released are ok for 15 year olds to play but this is not?
this is gorier then splatterhouse?
i highly doubt that!!!!!!!
