Dead Rising 2 Gets Hassle-Free Australian Certification

By |

Last time a zombie game put in for classification down under, it was refused, appealed and, finally, spitefully whitewashed of violence just to be approved for sale. Dead Rising 2 faced no such difficulties this year.

Gamespot reports that Capcomā€™s zombie chop-shop got an MA15+ from the countryā€™s Classification Board. Itā€™s the toughest handed out in a country that notoriously lacks an 18-or-over rating, not for a lack of trying lately. THQ says the game was not edited at all in order to obtain certification in Australia.

The game carries warnings for ā€œstrong horror violence,ā€ plus blood and gore. Apparently duct-taping a chainsaw to a boat oar doesnā€™t qualify as cartoon violence.
