Dead Rising Escapes British Censors' Scissors |
Ó
Looks like the evil, flesh-eating undead is having better luck in the UK than in Germany and Japan. Despite protests, the British Board of Film Classification said it will allow Dead Rising for Xbox 360 to go on sale in the UK uncensored. However, it did get an 18 and above only rating. According to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), despite Dead Rising's blood and gore, the game contains no close-ups and depictions of sexually motivated violence - things the Board considers harmful. "Dead Rising is considered a fairly straightforward 18...we have no reason to intervene as far as adults are considered. The game is gory, but... the violence is not sadistic and it's focused against zombies." Besides, the agency said "There is no clear evidence that playing games leads to copycat behaviour." What do you say to that Mr. Thompson?
Germany has already buried Dead Rising for good before it could even rise from the grave. Japan reportedly released a sanitized version of the game. Dead Rising, already out in North America, is schedule to sow terror on the European continent next month. Except Germany, of course.

I really don't see this gameto be THAT awful that it has to be censored. If GTA gets launched without any censorship, why not this? You are killing ZOMBIES, not humans.
Germany would have turned zombies into puppets. "Smash those wooden enemies!"
further proof that UK censor board has some kind of common sense
YAY! Go Europe and USA
Sorry Japan And Germany,
looks like they'll have to improt for once lol.
YAHOO
Nice One, Thank You U.K
Anyone notice how the screenshot has no kills yet he's pretty far through the story? That, to me, is kinda strange....
