We've also been told by Dead Space community manager Andrew Green that the title has been completely banned from the following countries: Germany, Japan, and China. That's right, there's just too much survival and way too much horror in Dead Space for these countries to handle. No word on whether EA has any plans to alter the game for a future release in those territories.


The one I find really strange is Japan, after all it is the home of many gory survival-horror franchises like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. I wonder what pushes this game over the top?


Also, in case you haven't heard yet, the release date for Dead Space has been pushed up to October 14.

Well. Of course you all know...

this means this game's going to own! XD
It looks like an interesting title, so I'm glad it's not banned over here.
Wait, Japan banned it? The country we got things like Tetsuo: The Iron Man and 964 Pinocchio from?


WOW.

*Looks at Manhunt 2...*

We'll see about that...

Ok, good point. But I've been reading about this a little anyways and it looks of higher quality then Manhunt 2 was.
this site seems to think it's all just marketing hype:

That website raises some valid points, especially the AU one.
