Heavy Rain has been banned in the UAE. Sony have effectively released a statement explaining:
The UAE's National Media Council (NMC) has banned Heavy Rain on PlayStation 3. Heavy Rain has an 18+ PEGI rating and has been conceived from the earliest stages as a genuinely adult experience. This means that it deals with strong content including blood and nudity, but treats this content in a mature and sensitive manner. The game is not intentionally controversial or sensationalist, and all the themes and content are consistent with what consumers would expect to see in a mainstream Hollywood thriller.
Makes you wonder what the reasons behind banning such a game are when we have books, films and TV series similar such adult material every day.
