I agree with aaronobst that all good gameshave violence, but as a fact ALL games have violence (except thr EC [early childhood] games [I wouldn't know]) so what's the point of banning games when all games have violence in 'em? (To be honest I'm not from australia so I wouldn't know the gaming issues over there. I'm just commenting on what I've read... Sry.)

I'm seriously over this. I've just seen the "revised" edition of the game... and its a load of sh!t. They've literally taken all dismemberment out, and most of the blood spray. I'm over it, taking it back right now

Does anyone know where I can get the more graphic gameplay vids? I'm a Media Studies teacher at a high school in Victoria and would like to look at this case as part of a unit on censorship and regulation.

"What are the Australian gun laws like? It's stupid to ban violent games if you can still get a permit to buy handguns and shotguns."

We have very restrictive gun laws.

Who do those old fools think they are, our mothers? if it were up to me and God let's hope it is one day, SOF3 would be rated G to show children what will happen to them if they play with weapons, let's face it, people are too busy playing to game to act on violent impulses anyways and even if they were to put down the control it would be most likely cause they've either won it or have gotten bored of the game. Video Games do not cause violence, banning them does.

Then why wasn't F.E.A.R. or Doom 3 banned there?

Poor Aussies you don't get to kill anybody in videogames. The fun police run your country apparently.

I'm not sure why they don't go and give up a R+18 rating for games just like we have for movies. They're both art forms and it seems an incredibility ignorant position to have
