Tue, 15 Dec 2009 18:56:35 -0600

Sega Still Appealing Australian Aliens Vs. Predator Rating

Sega is still fighting the non-classification of its Aliens Vs. Predator game in Australia, where it was refused a 15+ age rating, which is the highest available for AU games. This, of course, means that the game can not be released down undah. Sega has stated it will not censor the game, and has applied to have the rating reviewed. Since there is no 18+ rating, it is widely known that the Aussies are generally more liberal with game content ratings than their counterparts in the UK or US, and Sega maintains the game is still suitable for the 15+ rating.
