Australia will get Fallout 3, but not
by Gus Lanzetta August 13th 2008 2:08 AM CDT0 Comments
The Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) has a skewed vision of reality where it feels that any game that they do not think is suited for 15 year olds should be outright banned from the country. Unfortunately they are supported by the local government. Because of that, they had, earlier in the year, refused to rate Fallout 3 for its use of "chems" (drugs that affect your character's performance and abilities). They said that it was too close to the drugs of the real world. The one where 15 year olds have never even heard of drugs, of course.Well, now there are bittersweet news coming from down under: Fallout 3 has been awarded a MA 15+ rating by the OFLC. But that is only because the version that will be sold in Australia has differences in the way it rewards the player in the use of "chems".
What do you guys think about this?
