Blood led to Project Origin's Aussie ban, Warner Bros. trying to appeal |

Blood. Lots and lots of blood.That's one of the many reasons - most of them related to blood and the methods of making bodies spurt quarts of the stuff - why F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) didn't make it past Australia's Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC).
Games On Net reports that the OFLC found the game's violence "high in impact" and "unsuitable for a minor to play". Other choice descriptions that the OFLC found in the game include "all violence results in large blood spray" and "significant blood detail".
With all the blood, guts, and various body parts flying around, it's no surprise the Board found that Project Origin can't be accommodated at the MA15+ classification.
This is another example of why the MA15+ rating just can't cut it anymore. Since it'll be a while before the OFLC finally caves in and implements an R rating (if they ever will, that is), Warner Bros. is instead currently weaving through the Board's appeals process to see if they can still find a way to release Project Origin in the country. Keep checking back here for more updates.

I classify the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification as a bunch of *****wads.

I loved FEAR and I want this game, Sick of the OFLC banning games here. Now what are my options? oh ***** the easiest option is for me to STEAL the game now.
I'll just stroll over to any of a hundred sites and download it and have it the next morning.
Good work Australia.

I really feel for people who will not be able to get the game along with all the other games they have banned.
