The computer game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" is banned and ordered off store shelves Friday by Australian officials due to hidden sex scenes viewable with an Internet download.

The Office of Film and Literature Classification says in a statement sales of the game are outlawed and they have stripped it of its official classification after learning of the explicit content.

The statement specifies, "Revocation of a classification means the computer game cannot be legally sold, hired, advertised or exhibited in Australia from the date the decision is made."

The game involves a main character seeking bloody vengeance on gang-filled streets, firing automatic weapons and picking up women along the way.

After downloading and installing a modification to the game, a new version allows the girlfriends to appear nude and engage in explicit sex acts.
