Dead Rising Denied Rating (and Possibly en Route to being Banned) in Germany

July 17, 2006 at 3:03 pm - by Dale Dietrich

Capcom’s forthcoming Xbox 360 exclusive, zombie-slasher, Dead Rising, was denied an age rating and while not yet banned, this sets up the possibility of it being banned by another department of the German government. The game is set for release in North America in September. Previously Germany had banned Doom 1, Doom 2, Manhunt and Command an Conquer.
