• According to various reports and a released statement from Electronic Arts community manager, Andrew Green, Dead Space has been banned from retailers in Germany, China and Japan due to the high level of explicit violence depicted within the game.Gamasutra: Dead Space Banned In Germany, China And Japan (September 5, 2008)

  The story was initially broken by Destructoid on September 4, 2008, and was later called into question by the writers at Game Politics who expressed disbelief that a country such as Japan would actively prohibit its release as it’s the birth place of the Resident Evil franchise and EA Games does not distribute their console games in that territory. The lack of an official press release as well as no official word from the ratings board in Japan has led to claims that the whole thing was likely a publicity stunt.Destructoid: Dead Space outright banned in three countries (September 4, 2008)GamePolitics: Dead Space Banned in Germany, China, Japan (September 5, 2008)GamePolitics: Dead Space Ban Situation as Clear as Mud (September 12, 2008)
