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.
"...Recently, the BBFC banned Reservoir Dogs, Eidos’s tribute to Quentin Tarantino’s cult flick..."
