| The '''Office of Film and Literature Classification''' ('''OFLC''') is a statutory censorship and classification body in [[Australia]] that is responsible for the classification of films, videos, publications, and video games. While the [[New Zealand]] body also has the same name, it is worth pointing out that both companies are completely separate entities and as such, ratings do differ between them.

| == Grand Theft Auto game ratings ==
| |
| The Australian OFLC has been quite harsh on the GTA series in comparison with other ratings boards. Grand Theft Auto 3 was originally restricted by the OFLC who gave it a rating of 'RC', but it later gained an MA 15+ rating meaning the game could be sold in the country. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas had it's MA 15+ rating revoked after the [[Hot Coffee]] incident, resulting in the game being banned. The 2nd edition re-release saw the game regain it's MA 15+ rating.
| |
| | |
| A rating of 'RC' denotes 'Refused Classification', where the game is effectively banned from being sold or demonstrated in the country.
| |
| | |
| The GTA series is rated as follows:
| |
| | |
| * [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] - '''MA 15+''' ('''M15+''' on [[Game Boy Color]])
| |
| * [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969]] - '''MA 15+'''
| |
| * [[Grand Theft Auto 2]] - '''MA 15+'''
| |
| * [[Grand Theft Auto III]] - '''MA 15+''' (originally '''RC''')
| |
| * [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] - '''MA 15+'''
| |
| * [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]] - '''M15+'''
| |
| * [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] - '''MA 15+''' (later revoked due to Hot Coffee, 2nd edition given '''MA 15+''')
| |
| * [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] - '''MA 15+'''
| |
| * [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] - '''MA 15+'''
