The Australian promoter for WBIE and Monolith Studio's upcoming F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin have let AusGamers know that the game has now achieved an MA15+ rating from the Australian Classification Board. FEAR 2 had previously been handed a Refused Classification rating.

The interesting part of this is that the game remains unedited and will be same as the international release.

The Classification Review Board has determined, in a unanimous decision, that F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin warrants an MA 15+ (Mature Accompanied) classification with the consumer advice 'Strong violence, blood and gore. Moderate coarse language'.

"After considering extensive submissions and demonstrations of game play across all levels, the Review Board concluded that the level of violence in the computer game, whilst strong, could be accommodated within the MA 15+ classification", acting Classification Review Board Convenor, Trevor Griffin said.

F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin is currently due out on February 12 2009 for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Check the AusGamers game page for screenshots and a whole pile of trailers.

its pretty dumb that a game that should be R18+ is being released, unedited as MA15+ because there is no R18+ classification.
