Finally, we have definitive proof the Apocalypse is upon us – Dead Rising 2 passed the Australian Classification Board in its original undead-bashing, sex-joke-making form with a respectable MA15+ rating. Repent now, all ye sinners!

The Australian Classification Board has a long history of video game censorship, most notably with its ban of Left 4 Dead 2 last year. Valve eventually released a “clean” version of the game that passed the Classification Board with a MA15+ rating, and as another zombie-stomper, fans worried Dead Rising 2 may have faced the same bloodless fate.

MA15+ is the highest rating a video game can receive in Australia. In a list of the Board’s Latest Classifications, Dead Rising 2 was stamped with the MA15+ rating, along with the film Rage Adults Only and the series Intervention: Season One. This means, in Australia, video game zombies are akin to porn and real-life abusive drug-use.

Dead Rising 2, due out for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, will hit Australia and Europe October 1, with a North American release of September 28.

The passage of Dead Rising 2 may signal a shift in the rating system Down Under, or it may be a sad fluke



Nice to see our classification board are just soo consistent
