THE sequel to a popular video game has been banned in Australia after failing to receive a rating of MA15+.

Left 4 Dead 2 was refused classification by the Classifications Board this week, meaning it will be banned from sale.

In its report the board said the game, due to be released in November, contained "realistic, frenetic and unrelenting violence".

Good way to make sure Aussie kids want it even more...:thumbsup:

Well I guess that means Australia's gonna be the first to go down when the zombie apocalypse hits.....theyre not gonna know how to defend themselves.

Not neccessarily. If they're into reading down under, there's hope...

Personally, I'd just invest in home security...

Good to see censorship is still alive and well in a democratic country.

This is ridiculous. Banning things is retarded but I guess it's cheaper than educating people and it's probably wrong to sterilize idiots who can't take a video game for what it is so whatcha gonna do.

How realistic can violence be when the targets are walking undead?

I will be buying it. The first one was good but had room to improve.

When Gran Theft Auto IV came out they also had a censored version in Australia
