Left 4 Dead 2 ratings announced; Valve appeals OFLC decision

Valve today announced the final verdict on ratings for the upcoming Left 4 Dead 2, while simultaneously announcing that they are going to appeal (no surprise there) Australia’s OFLC decision to refuse classification for the co-op zombie slaughterfest.

Here is a look at the status of L4D2 ratings are of this moment far:

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 RATINGS

OLFC New Zealand – In progress.
BBFC (UK) – In progress.
OFLC Australia – Refused to rate on September 19. Appealed September 23.

Comments

  1. jared No surprises here imho. Well, other than Australia's idiotic initial decision.
  2. Basil Dunno why the IFCO is on that list, they generally don't bother rating games and just go with the PEGI/BBFC ratings.
  3. Paul Well, I am sure Valve could just remove the zombies and it will pass the clasification, or, just rename Zombies to angry humans and it will pass clasification also (wink wink Fallout 3!)

    Screw the OFLC!

Howdy, ! Got something to say?
