No, but apparently it has Racist undertones. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.128722?page=1]popdafoo said:
Anyway, thats just bogus. Im going to leave now before I go off on a mad tyrade.
Either way, that's no bloodier than Gears of War... of course that one may have been banned as well.orannis62 said:
You could dismember in Left 4 Dead, though. I remember blowing off zombies legs and coming right up behind them with a shotgun and taking their heads clean off.
God forbid that we actually become aware that there are black people in the world. Asians, Hispanics, and whites are just fine in games, but the second you show a black zombie, you're the next Hitler.RavingPenguin said:
It's so tragic that I can't stop laughing.
How bad must they have gotten now? Did they forget they let the previous and (probably) almost identical game get released?
Here's what happens next. Valve/EA Australia (who distribute the games not on steam iirc) will appeal. It will get released. I think they should just let it not be released though. I mean, if the OFLC is going to be so immature (ironically) by assuming that the only gamers are little kids, then maybe they should deal with the outcry when a huge title gets blocked.
Either way, it will find its way to Australia sooner or later.

Its hardly a kick in the balls. The OFLC pull this shit all the time. When you look at it objectively, with the amount of copies that will be sold in the Americas and Europe, the loss of Australia will hardly dent their margins. I want to see a company make the OFLC sweat.Baggie said:
Left 4 Dead of all things...
I could understand something like Modern Warfare 2. A game that takes place in our world, with our weapons against what the kind of terrorists that we could realistically wage a war against....
But not a damn zombie game.
That's like banning Buffy the Vampire Slayer because she's driving wooden stakes through hearts.... of vampires.

I really don't think it's related to the violence guys, it seems more likely that there's one little issue they don't like and therefore have denied rating. It's their style.
Example:
Fallout 3
"OMG MORPINE"
"Um, not anymore, it's MedX now."
"OKAY, I SEE NO CONNECTION"

They're not really. The problem is they have to R/18 rating so all the games that are deemed to be too graphic/scary/morally objectionable are rejected. They have no R rating for games because only kiddies play games and why would a kiddie want to shoot zombies or steal cars? They have one for films though so it's just their government being obnoxious.Grayjack72 said:
