@Coca-Cola
I just got this from google.
Rating system in Japan:
Adult games are given a Z rating. The A rating is all ages, B is for 12 and up, C is for 15 and D is for ages 17 and over.

Germany is always so strict with releasing games over there i feel sorry for the german gamers but they can allways import from their neighbors/countries.

In no way am I slagging Germans here, I have 4 german friends. But this seems wierd considering the Hilter regime started the Massacre that was WW1 and 2.

Im just saying, i can understand games like Heros 2 because you shoot nazis and such but not releasing a game like No More Heros (which is censord just like in the japanese version) is unfair for the gamers in germany.

!!!???? I can't believe these two statements.

Are there actual people on this planet who believe that some games are banned in Germany because you CAN shoot Nazis??

It's the other way round, guys. The extreme strict German "Jugendschutzgesetz" (roughly: legal protection for children and young persons) has to do with our history.

Don't pity German gamers, adults can easily import these games from Austria, that's not forbidden.

And btw: NMH was released in Germany.

Hitler didn't start WW1, he wasn't even in government at the time.
