In a surprise to nobody, the Australian Classification Board has refused to rate SEGA's soon-to-release on-rails shooter House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut, effectively banning it from release. Presumably, the game was a bit too "extended," and some things should've stayed on the cutting room floor.
SEGA isn't going down without a fight, though, as SEGA Australia's Managing Director Darren Macbeth aims to appeal the ACB's decision without making a single change to Overkill.
"There are far worse titles currently available in the marketplace," argues Macbeth, "which involve more than shooting down mutants in humorous circumstances. We will do everything we can to prove House of the Dead: Overkill is worthy of an MA15+ rating in Australia."
