Aliens vs. Predator to Get Aussie Re-Review

By pete_gallagher

Sega's Aliens vs. Predator PC game, originally Refused Classification by Australia's Classification Board earlier this month for its depictions of violence and gore, will be re-reviewed this Friday, December 18.

Refused-Classification has the media release from Australia's Classification Review Board on the subject, which states:

If an individual or organisation wishes to apply for standing as an interested party to this review, please write to the Convenor of the Review Board. The closing date to lodge your application for standing as an interested party and any submissions is Monday 14 December 2009.

 

Please note that the Review Board can only consider submissions about the computer game Aliens vs Predator itself and not any other matters relating to computer games policy or issues generally.

The appeal was presumably undertake at the behest of Sega.

The game's developer, Rebellion, has gone on record as stating that it will not modify the title in order to appease the Classification Board.
