Uncut Left 4 Dead 2 Aus Ban Holds

Games On Net reports that the appeal of the refusal of classification for Left 4 Dead 2 in Australia has been refused, so the uncut version of the game will not be for sale down under, where the censored version will be the only edition sold. Word is:

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.
