Bionic Commando gets its M rating (of sorts)


Ben Judd has got what he thought for Bionic Commando Rearmed - an M rating.

However it's only been rated on the Australian Classification website, and in Australia we have a different rating system - No T rating at all, instead we have an M (Recommended for 15+) or MA (Restricted for 15+). So Rearmed has settled itself between Super Contra and Metal Slug 3, and not the MA15+ rating games like Marathon and DOOM despite - in todays world - having some pretty pissy gore by todays standards.

Ratings differ all the time. Take Street Fighter for example - All recent Street Figher II's have been rated PG, yet all previous SFII, IIIs and more were rated M. Heck, the Plug & Play SFII was rated G!
