A couple of friends of mine in Australia are still mad about their country's censorship, and rightfully so. The new Mortal Kombat was banned with the apparent belief that if caught importing the game from other countries, would get you a major fine. Now, after careful examining of the legal guideline, it has been discovered that you only get fined for selling the imported game on Australian grounds/land.
Although it seems to be safe to import the game, it still doesn't change the incompetence in Australian game rating system, where this game is still banned while a Nintendo Wii game by Ubisoft called We Dare, which contains STRONG sexual content, yet is made for children, is allowed.
My friends won't be satisfied till Mortal Kombat is legalized, and we, as gamers, should keep our fingers crossed for the R18+ rating to be passed, thus allowing all Aussie gamers to experience SO MANY game that they missed out on the outright.
