Australia's lack of an adult rating for games has claimed yet another highly anticipated title. Gamasutra reports that the Australian Classification Board and Classification Review Board has denied a rating for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, the upcoming sequel to the 2005 horror shooter from developer Monolith and publisher Warner Bros. Interactive.

There's no word yet on why the board has refused to classify the game which keeps F.E.A.R. 2 from being sold in the country. Australia currently has no rating higher than MA15+ for games even though an MA18+ rating does exists for films. A number of games have been banned from the country as a result although some have been released after the developers have done some editing. So far there's no word if F.E.A.R. 2 will be edited to receive the MA15+ rating.
