Fortunately, the game is still on sale everywhere else in the world, including our neighbours across the ditch in New Zealand, and although Australian Customs technically supposed to seize imported copies of RC'd material, it doesn't seem to occur very frequently, and certainly not to digitally distributed copies in the case of the PC version.
AusGamers regular, Nachosjustice tried his luck with the online import route and was fortunately able to hold back the murderous killing spree that the game beckoned of him just long enough to share some rather positive findings.
No matter which way you cut it, Australia really missed out on the first best FPS title of 2012. The list of cons seems minor in comparison to Syndicate’s overall win for linear shooter experiences. Hopefully Syndicate sells well enough so by the time Syndicate 2 hits shelves, we’ll have an R18+ rating in place that negates whatever gripes the future Classification Board might have with another classy shooter from a top-notch developer.Read the full review to find out why Syndicate is one of the best games you won't see on Australian shelves for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2012.

I'd say con. I have a hard enough time avoiding that kind of music in real life. now it's invading my games. but to each to their own. more people would like that these days i guess.
loving the game though. pretty straight forward shooter but really entertaining.

You can kill all the living folk you like but DO NOT f*** with the dead.

And its not that it got banned as such, they just decided it didn't fit into the MA15+ category, and since we don't have R yet, it can't be sold. Seems like the right decision to make really, from some of the trailers I've seen, just sucks we don't have the R rating yet (though soon hopefully).

Somebody in another thread did and didnt have any problems.
And plenty of people bought cheap keys online for BF3, including somewhat dodgy russian keys that require simple fixes for them to work in english.

This comes up every time, I think the law though is against selling it or demonstrating it in public, not owning it. Cos like I was saying, its not technically banned, it just can't be given a classification so can't be sold.

mixed reviews about this site, looks like a easy target to gain personal info if your a muppet.
half of the people that have brought keys from there have had problems. i would avoid unless of course your a gambling man and you enjoy a 50/50 chance of getting bent over.
google Viktor Wanli and make up your own mind.

Hi, press F repeatedly to open this roller door... move 4m, another door. Shat me off like the constant hacking in Deus Ex.

This game shouldn't get a negative just because you couldn't use the same skills you learned in every other fps and 3rd person shooter and expected them to suit a totally different game. Would you review solitare for not being able to match pairs? Even though most nearly every other card game you can?
It's part of the game.
Oddly enough i was gifted deus ex last week by a friend through steam. I've spent 14 hours on it. He gifted it while i was about 50% of the way through mass effect 1. I got to an annoying glitch in ME1 where i got onto an elevator and then was stuck, the elevator didn't move and the last auto save was 2 hours ago (despite a lot of story line completed between..) so i dropped that and now i don't think i'll buy ME2 or ME3 in fact. I Really enjoyed deus ex that much that it made ME1 so unrewarding.
