With Grand Theft Auto IV slated for an April 29 release, RockStar Games have given an interview response detailing a special version for the Australian PAL market. Though the game had already been reviewed and awarded an MA15+ classification by the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC), the highest possible video game classification in this country, RockStar have decided to alter the code anyway. A Rockstar spokesperson confirmed that “ the company had produced a special version of GTA IV to comply with the Australian classification system, which does not currently contain an R18+ rating, but declined to reveal what material had been cut”.
