User Posted ImageThe Australian Classification Review Board has overturned its decision to ban Sega's Aliens vs. Predator in the territory.

AvP was originally refused classification in the country, which has no adult rating for games. Following an appeal from publisher Sega, the watchdog reconsidered its stance and gave the title a MA15+ rating, passing it uncut.

"It is with great pleasure that we announce the success of our appeal," said Darren Macbeth, managing director of SEGA Australia. "We are particularly proud that the game will be released in its original entirety, with no content altered or removed whatsoever.

"This is a big win for Australian gamers. We applaud the Classification Review Board on making a decision that clearly considers the context of the game, and is in line with the modern expectations of reasonable Australians."

Australia has previously banned Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead 2, which were later edited for local release.

Aliens vs. Predator is released worldwide on February 19, 2010.
