Ban in Australia

On 15th February 2006, the Australian Government Classification Review Board issued a release that they refused classification (RC), immediately banning it throughout Australia. They claimed it promoted the crime of graffiti, due to the realistic scenarios, the reward for and positive enforcement of graffiti, and by including the biographies of 56 real artists who often began their careers performing illegal graffiti. This overturned the MA 15+ classification the game had received on 18th November 2005.
