F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin - Set to scare Australia, once again

In what may be seen as a festive display from the Australian Classifications Board, the review process for F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin has been successfully completed, and the game is considered suitable for Australian gamers. The unanimous decision from the Review Board sees the game labelled with an MA 15+ rating, due to "Strong violence, blood and gore. Moderate coarse language".

Even more interestingly - this is exactly the same version of the game that was Refused Classification last month.

A spokesman for Warner Bros stated this afternoon:
"We're obviously extremely pleased with the result from the Classification Review Board, it's a great result for Warner Bros and fans of the franchise. We always believed in the merits of the game as an MA15+ title, and we went in and argued the game on its merits. We're really really pleased that they came up with the decision that they did."
Acting Classification Review Board Convenor, Trevor Griffin agreed:
"After considering extensive submissions and demonstrations of game play across all levels, the Review Board concluded that the level of violence in the computer game, whilst strong, could be accommodated within the MA 15+ classification."
We have contacted the Board to learn more about the details of the decision, but for now, this is a great win for Warner Bros, F.E.A.R. fans and the Australian gaming public.
