Mortal Kombat for PSVita Banned in Australia

[Gambid]

As GameSpot is reporting, the soon to be released PSVita version of Mortal Kombat 9 (2011) was refused classification by the Classification Board of Australia, earning an RC rating and making it ineligible for sale across the country.

The PSVita version of the game shares the fate of the original console game, which was released last year.

According to Warner Bros., the publisher felt that the impact of the violence in the Vita version of Mortal Kombat would be lessened by the portable console's smaller screen size.

"We felt that because of the Vita's size, the smaller screen would minimise the impact of the violence in the game and we felt it might fit within the MA15+ category," a spokesperson for Warner Bros. told GameSpot AU. "Obviously, the Classification Board of Australia did not agree."

The worst thing is, that violent games, with explicit sexual content have passed classification and have received an MA-15 rating and yet, MK can't.
