God of War III all clear for release in Australia |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: Australia, god of war iii, OFLC, playstation 3 updates
Fantastic news, mates. Fears of Kratos getting the Australian banhammer have now been put to rest - the country's Classification Board has now given God of War III the MA15+ rating, which basically clears the game for release Down Under.
That's right, no censorship will deny the Ghost of Sparta of his revenge. According to GameSpot Australia, the package will be labeled with "Strong violence, sexual references and nudity." With warning in place, gamers won't have to put up with a mellowed-down version and God of War III will remain true to the god-level gore that we've all come to love.
A relief to hear, but makes you wonder how a neck-ripping, eye-gouging game managed to get past the Classification Board. Well, best be glad it did, and just like in other regions, God of War III is riding into Olympic war this March.

Think about it, Manhunt, Left4Dead, Postal, GTA, God of War 1 & 2? All of these were released in Australia without censorship, yes our rating system is fucked, and although a good point for teens looking to get their hands on some gore, it needs serious work, I mean, teens can work for their R-18+ games. So yes, we should definitely introduce R rated videogames, however, that didn't happen, and in the end that's a good thing. For teens at least.
Anyway, the whole point of this ridiculously long comment is to minimize some of the hate which Australia, and it's people receive due to exacerbated bullshit like this. We are essentially America, but less corrupt, and not as big, so yeah, insulting us is like insulting yourselves, kinda'....
This problem isn't completely hypothetical though, there has just been a change of management in the rating's board and the new guy is a total douchebag, which is why Left4Dead 2 got the uber censored out of it. And this guy will definitely be a problem in the future, just don't overestimate exactly HOW much of a problem he'll be, Australia is still ripe for a thorough gore-fucking and we're not gonna' be left high and dry anytime soon.
