C’mon Australia! Hurry up and get that mature/18+ rating!

As we all know, well, those of us who’ve been following the many rating refusal’s Australia has given. Australia currently has no equivalent of the 18+/Mature rating for video games like the rest of the world has, meaning some games are being refused a rating, thus not being able to be sold in retail stores or online via digital distribution

And Valve’s very own Left 4 Dead 2 seems like it may be added to that very list, however Australia don’t get angry just yet – they’re going to be appealing the rating refusal very soon.

Rest of the world however, check the ratings below for your country (Oh I do love being over 18):

Completed Ratings:

  • PEGI (continental Europe) – 18+
  • ESRB (North America) – M
  • CERO (Japan) -Z (corresponds to Mature in US)
  • IFCO (Ireland) – Approved the title for classification
  • USK (Germany) – 18+
  • Singapore – Mature 18
  • FPB (South Africa) – 18+
  • KGRB (Korea) -18+

Pending:

  • OLFC New Zealand – In progress
  • BBFC (UK) – In progress
  • OFLC Australia – Refused to rate on September 17. Appealed September 23.
