    Yea thats the nice thing is that its region free.

    The funny thing about this is that the classification was actually given last year so its been a while for the story to come out.

    The classification is MA15+ Strong violence, Strong coarse language, Drug and sexual references. Compare that to the ESRB one Intense Violence, Blood,
    Strong Language,
    Strong Sexual Content,
    Partial Nudity,
    Use of Drugs and Alcohol

    You can soon guess what got removed (Drug taking possibly, and boobies in strip clubs, remember only God of War may have boobies, maybe bouncing cars eg off screen sex).

    Interesting to note the UK has it listed at 18+ Contains strong violence, very strong language, sex and drug references. The NZ version is 18+ Contains violence and offensive language (Hmm I wonder if they have our version too).

    If you are buying GTA from OS, and you are getting it from NZ, you will be getting the Aussie version it seems



    If you wish to see whats been removed most of it is probably over on IGN under "Ladies of GTAIV".

    IGN also has an article on the censorship.

    Yea they will pull you up. Rememeber people its not the ratings board that made these decisions, they rate based on the guidelines set down by the AUSTRALIAN Government. Now who should we target, well the state Attorney Generals because they have an R ratings allowance on the board at the moment, but have been slow to act on it. This is due to the SA Attorney General, Micheal Aktinson (His web page is at note the contact details are there) who is in the pocket of Family First and is strongly against the R rating (see ).

    So blame the governments, firstly John Howard for not allowing the rating and now the Labor State Governments for dragging their feet on the issue.

    I've always thought that with respect to GTA and what is removed for Australia. Its other games that piss me off that we can't have.
