Therefore, it's a good change to bring the news that Dark Sector, refused classification by the OFLC (Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification) in February has now been re-rated and awarded an MA15+ classification. The game was originally considered by the OFLC to be too strong for our shores, as a violent and sometimes gruesome game with a sinister storyline and ominous outcome. The violence and aggression inflicted upon the protagonist is of a high level, naturalistic and not stylised at all. Unfazed, Dark Sector's local distributor, AFA Interactive, confirmed in April that an altered version of the game, based on the Japanese release was being prepped for another shot at classification. news Jul 6, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-141061.aspx So far since the launch of the new PS Store, European has seen it's fair share of good quality updates.

The game's producer was quoted as saying that the PS3 version was just not running as good as 360, and the developer had serious discussions about what we were going to do. Never once did we feel we could not pull off the PS3 version of Dark Sector, DE CEO Schmalz told CVG via e-mail this morning. As with all PS3 games, it takes skill and time to optimize and we spent a great deal of time doing that. At no time did we ever think, 'It's not going to be optimized enough, so let's talk to D3 about canning it.' That is just not true. news Feb 28, 2008
