they can't have what in the game
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we'll
be counting down our picks for the top
ten
censored games for this list we ranked
the most infamous elements of games that
were censored or removed either in
certain countries or worldwide me they
all have shield town so just to be clear
we excluded games that were banned
outright since the games themselves
didn't actually change as you should
know by now we're sticking to one game
per franchise and be advised that this
video does contain some of the
uncensored content number 10
Carmageddon in a game where you get
points for running over pedestrians
gamers in the UK and Germany weren't
able to experience quite the same level
of absurd chaos when the title was sent
to the British Board of Film
classification to be rated they refused
to approve it until the violence was
tamed the developers replaced human
pedestrians with green-blooded zombies
for brits and robots for the German
version we can't really complain about
getting to take part in more zombie
slaughter but this was kind of
ridiculous
[Music]
number nine No More Heroes the name
wholly sold is no yours
this violent hack-and-slash game hardly
fit in the Wiis family-friendly image
but the version of it released outside
of the US sure said otherwise the spurts
of blood and dismembered limbs that were
prevalent throughout the North American
release were completely absent in the
European Japanese and Australian release
instead of bloody dismemberment they got
enemies bursting into well whatever this
stuff is here's your ticket to paradise
oh the game sequel wasn't censored and
Europe later got an uncensored ps3
version here's your ticket to paradise
old man number 8 ice climber a lot of
young gamers probably first met this
platformers protagonists when they were
smacking away and Super Smash Brothers
in LA but they were fighting snow
monsters called top E's in their first
original appearance however that was
actually the censored version because
the Japanese Famicom game had them
clubbing yeesh baby seals understandably
Nintendo of America thought that North
Americans might take issue with that and
they released a final product that even
a member of PETA could enjoy number
seven Saints Row 4
remember those this is your brain on
drugs PSAs well
Aziz didn't get those and they never got
to find out what the president's brain
was like on alien drugs because the
girls night out mission where he or she
takes them was removed from the Aussie
version as was a weapon known as the
rectifier due to its obvious connection
with sexual assault this wasn't the
first time that censors had targeted
this franchise because the dildo bat
from the titles predecessor became a
run-of-the-mill baseball bat in Japan
trust me this alien [ __ ] should give us
an edge number 6
fallout 3 the anticipation is isn't it
it's not surprising that a game with a
title like this would have a nuclear
explosion
but Japanese sensor still didn't want it
in their country it was unfortunate for
Japanese gamers because they missed the
scene where you detonate a nuclear bomb
and decimate the town of Megaton still
it's understandable given the country's
history
also the game originally had morphine
instead of medics but that didn't fly
with Australian sensors so it was
changed from all versions of the game
number five manhunt - thanks to its
impressively gruesome executions this
psychological horror game was one of the
few titles to receive the ESRB s AO
rating and many countries flat-out
refused to raid it after some cleansing
including the nixing of a scene where
you rip off a guy's genitals it was
downgraded to M however that still
wasn't enough for the we release where
the facial deformation scene where
someone's nose is removed was totally
scrubbed number four South Park the
stick of truth
hey little young to be having an
abortion aren't we
you'd think that people would know by
now what to expect from anything
associated with South Park but Europeans
and Australian censors thought that
parts of this RPG were a little too much
Jesus Jesus Christ oh can we try the big
silver one again seven scenes were
replaced with stills
of a crying koala in the Australian
release and a crying Michelangelo's
David in the European one yeah it's a
pain but this is the kind of stuff you
put up with living in a remote little
mountain town at least we don't have to
deal with traffic don't worry though
because those stills offer pretty vivid
descriptions of what you're missing and
it should be easy enough for you to fill
in the blanks
number three grand theft auto san
andreas this franchise has frequently
drawn the ire of censors the ability to
pick up hookers in gta3 was removed from
the Australian release of the game for
example but the hot coffee minigame from
this title was its most infamous moment
thanks to a mod discovered by hackers
you could direct the protagonist CJ as
he had sex with his girlfriend the
explicit segment was wiped all together
following a recall of the game but
people who bought the game early got
lucky yeah incredible you should get
paid for this Matt CJ number 2 left 4
dead 2 here's a zombie shooter that's
one of the goriest games of all time in
its uncensored version but that's not
what German and Australian gamers got to
play rather they were stuck with a
release that had its violence heavily
toned down to the point where the game
was basically a shell of its former self
not only that but the game's cover art
which featured a mutilated hand holding
up two fingers had to be altered
differently in both the UK and the US
before we get to our number 1 let's take
a look at some honorable mentions
[Music]
number one MORTAL KOMBAT
this fighter set a new standard for
video game violence with its infamous
fatalities but not in all of its forms
Nintendo of America chose to censor the
SNES version including toned down levels
of gore in the trademark fatalities and
it replaced the blood with swept
infamously Sega included a blood code in
their Genesis version that restored the
fatalities and because of its uncensored
nature the Genesis version outsold the
SNES counterpart just because of this
do you agree with our list okay
everybody chill those down which sensor
game do you wish was left on top there's
something fishy going on here
