Despite an appeal by Warner Brothers,Mortal Kombatisstill going to be unobtainable(at least legally) in Australia when it launches next month.
“We’re obviously extremely disappointed that the refused classification decision has been upheld by the Classification Review Board,” said the publisher. “We want to thank the thousands ofMortal Kombatfans in Australia and around the world who have voiced their support during the appeal process.”
Even in the face of defeat, Warner Bros. is sticking to its guns, promising to “aggressively appeal” the ban and claiming thatMK‘s content is no worse than anything else to have received Australia’s MA 15+ rating.
I really wish Australia would hurry up and join the rest of the civilized world when it comes to entertainment rating. It is, quite frankly,embarrassingthat this keeps happening.
