Hasn't Australia always been a bit censor/ban happy with games though? I thought they had strict rules similar to Germany?Not similar to germany at all. In germany almost all games (aimed at adults that have blood, gore, violence etc) are censored to be released. In Australia its at max like 5 games a year.
Ah, it's not as bad as I thought it was then. I thought I remembered reading it's rules were as strict as Germany's. So if they make amendments to MK it would get through? I mean it still sucks that it would be censored, but at least it would get a release. And what about importing? Does Aus have it's own region lock on consoles like the 360/PS3?
Nah none of that, it's just the damn classification system. Generally the games just get by unscratched, with a lower, and misleading rating. We got fucking God of War 3 and Alien vs Predator, completely uncensored, with a bloody 15+ rating.
But then at random times the classification board decides to do it's job with the poor ratings system and ban games that should be 18+ only, since in Australia, only moves and such are allowed to have an adult classifications.
Also lolno, region lock is PAL only. Australia uses Europes system of Region lock. As for amendments to MK, that would be up to the developer, and it would probably get through, albeit it'd be butchered no doubt.
