Appearently Europe is geting the PS2 version of BMXXX uncensored, unlike the US one. I really hate censorship. Fortunately here in Europe we are not that awkward.
However I do remember some censorship in the PAL version of some PSX games, like Soul Edge (the girl was covered with a pajamas in the intro) and Tekken 3 (ending of a female char). I think it was becasue Germany demanded it.

we still have the XBOX and Gamecube uncensored though. I don't see why it matters, the graphics arent good at all so I don't think I would want to see any of those characters naked. :]

Who cares?
Might as well Buy THPS4 if you want a good game in that genre.
Personally I wouldn't shed a tear if this went the same way as garbage like Thrill Kill.

Mature games are good when they are Silent Hill or ICO, but BMX XXX is childish schoolboy humor at its worst. I can only see it appealing to people who are too young to actually buy the game legally.
Personally I'd be too embarrased to go up to the person behind the counter at GAME holding a copy of this!

When someone will be able to make me believe that it's fun to control a naked chick riding a BMX, then maybe I'll reconsider the game MAYBE.

Something else just occurred to me.
In these types of games, dont you spend 99.89475% of the time staring at your characters BACK!!!

Not much chance to cop an eyefull of tittie in that situation.

how do u figure ICO being a Mature game?

and by the way, i am so jealous of you euro's. u get the best version of ICO ever... compared to the us version. and yes these differences are BIG in my mind considering ico is like the best game ever created

1. yorda is much more clever and acts differently
2. monsters turn up in random places
3. monsters have better AI and hunt more like animals.
4. after you beat the game you have the option to have the 2nd controller to play yorda
5. after you beat the game you can understand what yorda is saying as it is translated from the hyrogliphics to english.
6. there are film effects option you can play with and 4 different modes, the higher you put the film effect the grainier the gameplay and cutscenes. also the more sepia tones, scratches and lines go across the screen.
7. display option when you start the game for the first time (50 hz/60hz)
8. this is a rumor and i think its a spoof but i will post it anyway

</strong><hr></blockquote>A game does not have to have loads of gore or swearing for me to see it as 'mature'.
In the case of ICO, its subtle pacing, stark atmosphere and fairly unique styling- coupled with a nice story (though it isn't too complex), make it a game that I think only someone who was fairly mature (mentally) could really appreciate.

Idiots would just see a dull game with not enough monsters to hit.

Just my opinion.
