Vice City in the balance down under
From what we can gather, the future of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto Vice City is currently hanging in the balance in Australia, following the last game in the series, GTA3, being banned outright in the country.

Initial reports had suggested that Vice City would either be banned or heavily censored before its Australian release on November 24.

However, Sony Computer Entertainment has said that the game’s content has in no way been changed to date. It also declared that as yet, no word has been received from the Office of Film and Literature, the governing body for games in Oz.

Hopefully a decision will be made before the game ships, avoiding the debacle suffered by GTA3, which shipped without a rating and was subsequently withdrawn.
