Fantastic news, mates. Fears of Kratos getting the Australian banhammer have now been put to rest – the country’s Classification Board has now given God of War III the MA15+ rating, which basically clears the game for release Down Under.

That’s right, no censorship will deny the Ghost of Sparta of his revenge. According to GameSpot Australia, the package will be labeled with “Strong violence, sexual references and nudity.” With warning in place, gamers won’t have to put up with a mellowed-down version and God of War III will remain true to the god-level gore that we’ve all come to love.

A relief to hear, but makes you wonder how a neck-ripping, eye-gouging game managed to get past the Classification Board. Well, best be glad it did, and just like in other regions, God of War III is riding into Olympic war this March.
