GTA IV labelled as ''censored''!!!

RocksTar said that it will be changing some content of GTA 4 that was to be sold in australia as the australian government labelled it as 'censored'. Do you think the change in the content of that game will be applied to GTA IV games selling worldwide or only to the AU edition of GTA IV?

agreed

There was an article here on GS the other day about how the Australian censors rate games.

Because your highest rating for a game is 15+, anything adult only or 18+ rated in other countries gets banned, unless the content is altered to make it suitable for a 15+ rating. Sucks, but atleast you get to play it, unlike other games that didn't change their content.

any idea what the changes were?

looked into it earlier today,, i can get it fom nz for 91bucks,,,, on there wbsite it was 107. so im hoping 10buck deliv. and they have a r rating on there gave,,, ahhhhhh,, step aus gov, dam,,

It's ignorant that video games get censored all the time, for content that is in every other movie. JimmyKottos

100% true

I personally find this very insulting and offensive, "us" only getting the censored GTA IV? OFLC in aus needs improvement. Speaking of which, gears of war 2 will pretty much have some OFLC "slapped" on the game for certain criteria or perhaps they'd be bribing them to be placed on shelves labelled with something like "intense gore" to avoid it being refused.LGRSTPF

You could order it from britain, if we arent getting cencsored, though it does cost more =[. But you can always get it from HMV and pay for the extra price with the 1000 free microsoft points.
