I am considering buying Shadows of the Damned for the PlayStation 3, but I am not sure which localized version is the best: Japanese, American, or European.
I was disappointed when I bought the PS3 Japanese version of No More Heroes (developed by the same studio, Grasshopper Manufacture) because the blood and gory boss executions were replaced by softer content: I wanted the original B-movie style content.
Is Shadows of the Damned censored the same way in Japan?
Best Answer
The japanese version does not seem censored (blood is depicted on enemy destruction, etc.). Also, there is an option to select japanese or english dialogue. Finally all the menus are translated in english (depending on console settings, I guess).
Therefore, I declare that the japanese version is suitable for international usage, and not different from the other localized versions.
