Banned in Australia

[xboxwizz]

a sad thing has happened in the great Oz. Video game Manhunt has officially become prohibited on gaming shelves. The change came when the australian ratings board, decided that instead of making the game R18+ they stopped coppies being made. I've played it once before, it IS violent, it IS aimed at older gamers, BUT they should bring in a new classification. hopefully no other governments in other countries get the same idea!

Doubtful, I mean australia as been harsh on games for a while now. I havn't seen this from any where else.

No No it's very true the game has been taken out of the shops over in AUS.
There is also another game that has been banned from AUS called Leisure Suit Larry.

Many saw it coming, but gamers in Australia won't. That's right, Leisure Suit Larry: has been banned in Oz, owing to the country's Office of Film and Literature Classification refusing to rate the game. Naturally, this means that UK gamers would be well advised to snap up a copy on the date of the game's release, before the righteous masses start to make noises in this country.The Office of Film and Literature Classification reported that the game contains ***ual and partial nudity...

The game is well worth a look, as it could well be the funniest title to grace the Xbox. You can pick up the cheeky chappy from 5 November, and watch the media sparks fly...

^^ and Rockstar with GTA think they have it bad for the age 18 games they produce!

unbelievable... and we are supposed to pwn u all.... *cries*

[Peppage]

Too bad you can't get certain games... I suppose you could just buy it on the internet though eh?

[Forsaken]

that would still be illegal pep XD

[Peppage]

But what are they going to do, bust in and take your game?

[Half-White]

Nah, they'd probably give you a very hefty fine.

[Forsaken]

u didn't get me pep.... okie

[Peppage]

Yeah I am sure you might break the law ocassionly. I mean who would be deprived of playing this game.

[Oddball]

I thought America was being harsh on vide' games. Australia is frickin crazy when it comes to this stuff.

[Half-White]

America's just enforcing the fact that M rated games say 17+ on them. It sucks, but oh well...

[Peppage]

But not every place does that

[Half-White]

Which is good for those of us who are 13+, but 17 yet.
