    After playing the demo two things come to mind, it's very good and totally not worth banning, it's violent for sure but nothing seemed unexceptable, very over the top and cartoonish like MK always was.
    I assume it was the x-ray moves that sealed the banning deal, but the Fight Club game had that and it didn't get banned.

    Shame.

    I think part of the issue was with the Fatalities. Some of them were a bit much. Once you compete the demo it has a bit of video footage of them.

    Although to be honest, despite the strong violence in them, I found myself laughing more than being shocked as they are generally quite ludicous.

    Embarrassing for Australia...

    Argh! - The distorted 16bit wailing!

    Man I just hope the Federal Government pulls rank on this one if they have to, i.e. the R18 rating, enough is enough - I want to play this bloody game!

    What exactly is stopping the Government from releasing an R-18 rating for video games?

    I think the current stage of the R- Ratings debate is deciding on how to classify what constitues and R-rating and how far it should go.

    We have an R-Rating thread with a lot of details and discussion Here

    Update - Despite the banning, a lot of fans are getting their games through. I have heard that customs are only targeting large shipments (more than 20 copies) rather than individual copies. Don't take that as gospel though.

    In other MK banning news, it looks like Germany has taken steps to make the game illegal as well.

    Just in case anyone is interested - yes, the game is bloody awesome

    Germany ban or censor everything. Our edited version of L4D 2 was the german edit, that's why it was less violent than the first L4D.

    i've played this and cant see the appeal. the combos tend to not string very well and the fatalities are boring *goes back to MVC3*
