EIDOS ISSUES STATEMENT
OVER GAME BAN
Copyright 2006 www.tombraiderchronicles.com
[ June 28th 2006 ]
Eidos
has responded to a decision by the Australian
Office of Film and Literature classification board
to refuse classification for Reservoir
Dogs, an upcoming shooter based on the hit
Tarantino film.
"In
response to Reservoir Dogs being refused classification
in Australia, we feel that it is unfortunate that
fans of the film will not get the opportunity
to play the game in Australia when it is released
in the U.S. and Europe later this year, and we
will fully comply with the Australian Office of
Film and Literature classification's decision.
"The
game remains faithful to the cult classic film,
directed by Quentin Tarantino, and as such, is
an ultra-violent third person action game and
the OFLC's rating system does not have a suitable
age classification for this."
Reservoir
Dogs is based on the 1992 Quentin Tarantino-directed
classic movie about five total strangers who are
brought together to carry out a diamond heist.
The game will release on Xbox, PlayStation 2 and
PC in fall 2006.
