Australia is Having a Difficult Time Managing its Game Censorship Rules
In Australia, adults can purchase Quentin Tarantino’s 1992 Reservoir Dogs with no trouble whatsoever. However, they can’t purchase the 2006 video game of Reservoir Dogs, which follows the plot of the movie exactly. According to the Australian Classification Board, the video game is banned "because of high impact violence and torture," while the movie itself is not banned for the same reason. This is only one example of the major issues Australia has when classifying and banning video games.
