Left for Dead 2 Banned in OZ !

Aussie Classification Board cites "realistic, frenetic and unrelenting violence" as cause for antipodean zombie game ban.


That really sucks if you already own the first installment of this amazing series. I'm an Aussie but live in the UK atm so at least I'll have no troubles picking up a copy for myself but this is ridiculous !

Actually this doesn't have to be a problem, they can just do what they were supposed to do in the first place...... release the damn thing as an expansion

I guess people from Oz could just order the game from the UK as it works perfectly well on an xbox 360 in Australia . . . it's just the postage that could prove a problem lol

LFD is overrated IMO. Though I still enjoy it and will probably borrow/rent the new one. Bad luck for the aussies though.

Well i guess its too bad for the aussies then i guess we will all have to enjoy it for ourselves.

I guess its going to rake in some money for the countries that will have the aussies going to buy the game.
I dont have a clue why they would actually banned it for.
I mean its not like there making fun of there culture or anything, is it?

I don't really understand things like this when we have real war going on, human being versus human being.

Australia against Zombie violence?

Left 4 Dead (1) never allowed you to chop off limbs and decapitate zombies.

I know it sucks im an aussie but often these games are re-made for the classification board (or the Australian Classification board, can re-examine)

I dunno anything about LFD, but our games rating board sucks. We don't have an R 18+ rating, so anything that should get such a rating is just banned outright. It's ****ing ridiculous. It's censorship. It's anti democratic.

I think GTA IV was modified slightly for Australian audiences aswell, because of this.
