Poor Australia. They don’t get to join in all the unadulterated fun that is Grand Theft Auto IV. In order to obtain an MA15+ rating, Rockstar had to tone the game down for the land down under. Since Australia doesn’t have a higher rating, like the US and Europe, there’s no way to prevent the game from getting into the hands of those under the age of 17/18.
A Rockstar spokesperson confirmed to Screen Play yesterday that the company had produced a special version of GTA IV to comply with the Australian classification system, which does not currently contain an R18+ rating, but declined to reveal what material had been cut
This seems like a flaw in the Australian ratings system. Maybe the introduction of an 18+ rating would solve the issue and allow full versions of these games to be released. For the sake of our gamer friends there, I hope so.

What did they take out, the blood? the hookers? the guns? It would be hilarious if it’s the GTA game from that Coca Cola commercial.
What if they play Grand Theft Kangaroo?
Only if it’s boxing kangaroos, and that might be too violent.
and if they don’t wear clothes, it might be too sexy.
And it might be considered bestiality, definitely not good.
unless we make them people in kangaroosuits with a trap door. Gentlemen, I think we’re onto something.
you guys should totally make that game, it sounds shitty and i wouldnt buy it but it would be pretty cool to see what you guys end up with..lol
Paul Hogan could do the voice and you have a choice of two radio stations ACDC and Met at work.
