In the Review Board’s opinion, Left 4 Dead 2 could not be accommodated within the MA 15+ classification. The computer game contains a level of violence which is high in impact, prolonged, repeated frequently and realistic within the context of the game.
In addition, it was the Review Board’s opinion that there was insufficient delineation between the depiction of general zombie figures and the human figures, as opposed to the clearly fictional ‘infected’ characters. This was a major consideration of the Review Board in determining the impact of this game on minors.
Computer games classified RC cannot be sold, hired, advertised or demonstrated in Australia.
What is your perspective of foreigners trying to influence your government? Maybe you don't mind if their goals happen to align with your own, but generally?
Could do they import the US boxed version?
I know when I used to live in Germany I would import all the time, bypassing any control the goverment had over content.
Responsibility for holding Australian censorship to account rests with Australians.
Trying to explain the appeal of something which holds no appeal to someone else by their own admission seems to me to be the dictionary definition of "exercise in futility."Or the act of a troll.
What is the appeal of this game? I've seen a few videos of it and it is just mindless running around unimpressive looking environments blowing up zombies. I'd get bored after 2 minutes of playing this.
I would have respected Valve more if they went: "Don't like it the way it is? Fine, you don't get it."
I admire Valve for not submitting a censored version.They DID submit a censored one. They did so before the appeal on the un-censored version came back (today).
