Sales of Grand Theft Auto Heavily Restricted in Kanagawa
(PlayStation 2)
May 30, 2005
This week the local government in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan ruled that the sales of Grand Theft Auto III should be restricted to those 18 years of age and older, designating the game as harmful to youths for fears that the game may cause young people to "feel like doing something cruel". This will mark the first time that a video game has been marked as a harmful publication in Japan. Those who continue to sell GTA III to youths under 18 could face fines of up to 300,000 yen. Under these restrictions, game retailers will be required to display the title separate from regular games. |
