Dead Rising Gets Green Signal in England

Dead Rising's man-on-zombie action has been causing problems for the game in quite a few countries now. The game that has you going up against a mall-full of zombies has been banned in Germany, thanks to all the gratuitous violence. The game has even managed to piss the Japanese off, and that's saying a lot (Itchi the Killer anyone?), but apparently it's not violent enough for the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).
Recently, the BBFC gave Reservoir Dogs, Eidos's tribute to Quentin Tarantino's an 18 Rating and it seems their reason for giving this game such a rating was the exact same reason Dead Alive was allowed in England. "We would only intervene if a game was going further than any other game in terms of interactivity and the 'thrills' it offers a gamer," one spokesman for the BBFC said.
So unless a game depicts "sadistic violence or terrorization", it's cool in England.
