That's why importing/online ordering always wins.

Get say a chainsaw and start running. You can hardly see anything other than blood.



This game is why I bought an Xbox.



Can I import the game or not? thanks

its a game lol.......everybody shut up

bull*****, perhaps check local laws first before posting somethign like "banned".



you might want to check the status of this game on www.usk.de (id: 16074/06). It boils down to: not available for youngsters but to people of age over 18.



law-papers (also in english) available here: http://www.bag-jugendschutz.de/gesetze.html

Sorry, got this wrong. I meant "the German ex-president's wife". (here's a picture of her btw: http://www.christianeherzogstiftung.de/images/christiane_herzog.jpg).



...erm...You know we also got Heidi Klum, don't you?

Dead Rising isn't banned here! This is a lie.



Jesus, please stop this mistranslations from german sites. The game is coming out here!

Personally, living in Germany, I'd never had any proble with the German system of "banning" games. Almost all places will still sell games and movies that are "ab 18", the only obtrusiveness is a little red sticker on the front and the occasional reminder at the register. It's much more elegantly handled than in the states (*cough* hot coffee *cough*), and politicians don't drag out the issue of banning games avery election year here. On that same vein, the games that do get "banned" are always violent bloodfests (*cough* hot coffee *cough*), or games that glorify war. The quickest way to get a game banned (and actually banned, not just relegated to th top shelf) is to feature Nazis as the protagonist. If there's a story about censorship in the German media, this isn't it.

@ An American

omg when are u americans going to realize that ur not the only democracy in the world anymore ? bla bla we have such lax laws... we're sooo free ... our government keeps track of our library records LOL .... Ur country is turning into a friggin police state and you don't even see it comming cause u have been brainwashed to think that ur soooo free. Well wake up there are a bunch of countries where there is more freedom than in your country. And the fact that you still think that ALL of the world's countries except yours are dictatorships makes u so popular with the rest of the world :)

Do read up on a few countries 4 example europe in case you've heard of it .. that's that other continent across the blue liquidy thingi .... (no offense to all the normal americans that got a brain. this is only directed at that idiot who posted here)

Okay, first off, I'm an American. I personally don't see anything wrong with limiting sales of certian media to those over 17 or 18 years old. My biggest pet peeve is the notion that kids learn aggressive and deviant behavior from said games and movies, and the government should regulate the sale and distribution of such "offensive material." Give me a break...it's not the manufacturer, the distributor, or the retailers fault. It's not the government's responsibility to regulate what children do or do not watch on the television. It's the freaking parent's responsibility. I and a lab partner conducted a Psychology experiment for a Psych 102 class I had taken a few semesters back, where we observed purchases of 'M' rated games at a few local video game shops. We tabulated the following categories: A) Number of times a minor was sold an 'M' rated game. B) Number of times a parent or guardian refused to buy an 'M' rated game for their child due to content, and C) Number of times a parent or guardian bought an 'M' rated game for their child without question. Out of around 50 instances observed, guess what the figures were? A) 0. B) 11. C) 39. TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY. Look at the game you're buying for your kids before bringing it to the counter. If your kid finds the idea of chopping a person in half with a chainsaw intriguing thanks to "Dead Rising", it's not the game's fault. It's yours, Mom and Dad.

I thik tha dead rising is the best game I'v seen yet,why would they band it?
