“Ubisoft can confirm South Park: The Stick of Truth was initially refused classification by the Australian Classification Board and a slightly modified version has now been approved for release, under the guidance of R18+,” a Ubisoft Australia spokesperson told IGN in a supplied statement.“No full sequences have been removed from the game, only small sections amounting to less than five minutes of game play.”According to Ubisoft three minigames were removed. The publisher stressed “[t]hese modifications in no way detract from the narrative of the game, meaning the player will still enjoy an authentic South Park experience.”The content of the three minigames was not described.Australia’s R18+ rating places virtually no restrictions on themes and language, and high-level violence, simulated sex, nudity, and drug use not related to rewards are all permitted. However, classifiable elements which will result in a game being refused classification include interactive, visual depictions of implied sexual violence which are not justified by context, illicit or proscribed drug use related to incentives or rewards, the promotion or provision of instruction in paedophile activity, descriptions or depictions of child sexual abuse and depictions of practices such as bestiality.You can read the guidelines here
