F.E.A.R. 2 Banned in Australia

[Skywalker]

Get Warner's official response inside.
by Patrick Kolan with Narayan Pattison, IGN AU

Australia, November 27, 2008 - F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, Monolith's sequel to the much-loved horror shooter, F.E.A.R., has been refused classification by the Australian Classifications Board, formerly known as the OFLC. The ACB banned F.E.A.R. 2 over what it claims is 'high violence' in its content.

IGN Spoke with Warner Interactive Australia earlier today to source further details on the situation. According to a representative from the distributor, "Warner is actively working through the appeal system with the ACB and is exhausting all options. We are doing all we can to get F.E.A.R. 2 released in the AU market."

The game, which is slated for release on February 11 in Australia, is still far enough off that there is hope the game will make it through the appeals process and onto shelves unmodified in our region - though, Warner was unwilling to comment officially on this portion of the matter.

Yea I just hear about Australia banning everything? Why is this? Buncha pussies.

There's also Germany a lot (to prove they hate violence and aren't Nazis still) and Japan (cuz tentacle porn is ok but shooting evil things isn't).
