They most probably didn't edit the game in any way. It's just that when you appeal a 'refused classification' result your game goes to the Classification Review Board which is a different bunch of dudes who actually play what they're classifying unlike the OFLC who just go off the blurb on the back of the box and that tingly feeling they get in their bones when they look at it...

@RadarTrap: Maybe then it would be a good idea to make the boxart for Aussie games have daisies and rainbows and for the blurbs change words like blood, torture, murder and horror for friendlier words like chocolate sauce, tickles, sleeptime and fun.

Does anyone know if Konami has realized the mistake they made by giving the game to other developers and they´re giving 6th back to Konami Japan?? Or should i stop dreaming??

The whole country of Australia is R18+, considering the abos and the grotesque spiders, it's a horror flick waiting to happen.

Give video games R18+ rating chances.

@NicolasCage: Obvious satire followed by serious commentary. I would agree with you if it were just obvious satire, but I wouldn't dare take a jab without giving my two cents on the topic at hand.

@Omnimon: The article says why it was banned.

Yes, the Silent Hill series is pretty good; especially 1 and 3.

@King_Faisal_94: Silent Hill was a great series ... before 4. After Silent Hill 3, the game was given off to a different team that is less concerned with atmospheric creepiness and more concerned with jump-out scares.

It's like the difference between Psycho and any-given modern horror flick.

Well, it's nice that Aussies will get to play the game. It got a lot of flak for being different and not being quite as polished as most AAA titles, but I really enjoyed it for what it was.

Would it really be that hard to add an 18+ rating? I think not.

@fadecy - I won PixelJunkEden because of Kotaku: It's not even adding the rating, it's adding video games to having the 18+ rating available.
