Dead or Alive 3DS gets PG rating from the normally prudish Australian Classification Board

Dead or Alive: Dimensions, the game that was pulled from its scheduled release in Sweden because of stringent child pornography rules, has been deemed "mild in impact" by the Australian Classification Board.

The board, famous for the banning or censorship of so many games in recent years (Manhunt, Mortal Kombat, and Left for Dead 2 to name a few) has given the game a PG rating.

The rating is based upon, “mild violence and sexualised gameplay”. There's no mention of the virtual depiction of minors.

So congratulations to Oz. Enjoy the Pocket Gamer Silver Award winning beat-‘em-up in all it's boobular glory.
