    Definitely can not wait for this game, intense violence just makes it all the sweeter. The other themes being apart means the mood should be a bit lighter which is good to know.

      With the awkward classification system it could be passed through under the M15+ rating. Having said that I must concur; more often than not it's a case of being banned instead, which is a real shame. Just have to hope they finally sort out the system soon like they were talking about.

        Well, it would come under the MA rating here not the M rating (our highest currently). Unfortunately this game shares a fair amount of issues that they had with Left 4 Dead 2... plus the use of alcohol and drugs which L4D2 didn't have (plus a story lol) which could potential make it a bigger threat for rc.

        Yeah, I'm just waiting to read that article saying its been refused classification, it should be here any day now

      Well there is never a guarantee that a game won't be released here so hopefully this will pass.

      The ratings board sure as hell aren't consistent in their ratings, that's for sure.
