Games On Net follows up on yesterday's reports that the
Windows edition of Grand Theft Auto IV will be unchanged in Australia and
New Zealand, even though the console editions of the open world action sequel
had cuts for release down under. The reason for this seeming inconsistency is
that the game was apparently never submitted in its uncut form for console
release, and was classified MA 15+, for "Strong violence, Strong coarse language
and Drug and Sexual references," while the uncut Windows edition of the game
turned out to be acceptable to the Aussie
Classification Board, receiving
the same rating with a stronger warning for containing: "Strong violence, Sex
scenes, Coarse language and Drug references." The Classification Board even goes
into detail on why the game's depiction of the world's oldest profession did not
make the game unacceptable: "The Board notes that the player can change the
angles of the scenes and can zoom in. However, the player does not interact with
the sexual activity other than choosing which service from a menu. The
characters also remained fully clothed and no depictions of genitals are
visible."
