Both games are banned in Germany. We will get Shadowrun and Lost Planet 2.

Why in the hell was Crackdown banned in Germany? there wasn't even germans in it if I recall right? just like Spanish and Japanese or so I dunno been a while since I played it.

Because we have this:

They decide if a game is allowed to release in Germany or not. If they think a game shows too much violence they ban it. But the whole situation is absolutely ridiculous. For example, Gears of War 1 and 2 also got banned, while 3 wasn't. I hate Germany :(
