When a violent videogame actually gets a rating in Australia, it’s newsworthy. That’s pretty sad. What isn’t sad, however, is thatDead Islandmanaged to pull off this feat, allowing Australian gamers to join the rest of the world in some delicious co-op zombie battering.
Dead Islandnabbedan MA 15+, the highest age restriction in the country, for its “strong horror violence” and blood. It somehow managed to get the rating in spite of the fact thatLeft 4 Dead 2required content editingto get a release.
“Stunningly enough, we didn’t do a thing to it,” said Deep Silver, when Destructoid asked if it had been edited at all.
I am legitimately surprised. It took me less than five minutes ofplaying the gameto chop off my first zombie arm. Then I did the legs and head. This game dismembers humanoids by the bucket, and got a rating somehow. Impressive!
