We have pretty strict censorship laws, like Fallout 3 got banned and criticized A LOT because you could use drugs in a realistic way, and pretty much every GTA game has been either banned or edited to cut out the fact you can murder prostitutes.

  • Rubbish Fallout 3 was not banned. Australian censorship law is a bit like film rating guidelines in the US. A game that's rated R in Australia can't be sold to minors. A minor is a person under 18.

  • Yes it was, they refused it classification, ie it was "banned", and they weren't able to sell it to anyone until it was edited and some things in the game were changed. The reason it was refused classification is because at the time fallout 3 came out we didnt have an R 18 + rating, so when they edited it they were able to make it MA 15 + and then we could buy it in Australia.
