The gore, while nasty and squirt-y, is a lot like the blood in BioShock...not realistic AT ALL :p.

I mean, come on, in that video, your opponents fall apart at the slightest touch. You graze his arm, it falls off, you melee his leg, it shatters into five pieces, and then the blood squirts everywhere like a roman candle.

I think the blood animation is dreadful. It "floats". If you look at it, it looks like a cheap 1980's "sprite" moving in front of view. Very poor coding. It was much better in SOF2

Does this mean that Fallout 3 will be banned also since it will be able to target any particular body part? That would be even crazier for Australia to do

Ratings to me just BS. They are all out of control even mre so with PG PG-13's. BUT if some things MA or AO is what it says. I've seen a lot worse and i wounder why FEAR was not banned there to when you kill there's blood splatter and when you kick the limbs around too lol...

you know what? I don't think that weird leisure suit larry game was AO. how can they sell that, but let this go? they need to rethink their priorities. did you know there was a movie recently banned in texas because it showed two lesbian women kissing? it wasn't a porno btw. it's all parent councils who decide this, and one government offices can overrule them

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to accidentally click on a link that coincidentally contains the image for SoF: Payback. If I get in trouble I'll just blame the OFLC for giving me no other choice. :p

What is the world coming to when people can't decide for themselves what to buy..? If I was Australian I'd be pissed as hell right now.

I'm not pissed. Just means there is no choice for me but to get it for free :rolleyes:...

I reckon its a bit much for an MA15+ game, but thats why they have R 18+ ratings :wtf: :p.
