US vs. UK - any differences?

Topic subject to be read in context to the game, of course.


I´m curious; I´d like to know if anyone was able to compare these two versions.

Was any content changed? I´m asking because someone at the amazon.co.uk forum said there were no cuts, but less blood in one scene at the end of the game. I guess a forum user who writes game reviews without punctuation is not a trustworthy source, so I´m hoping some of the real fans can clarify this situation.

Also, with all the extra time KOE had to prepare the british release, would it be too far off to expect some bugfixes? This is of course only comparable if the bugs of the US version are 100% reproducable, not random things like missing textures because of a dirty disc or laser unit.

I'm not sure but I think the UK release has more violence. I watched the drill scene online the other day, where Judge Holloway gets it through the head, and it seemed toned down compared to my version, like it was shorter and there was less gurgling. But I could be completely wrong and just imagined it. I may need some clarification.

If there were any cuts to my (UK) version, then I've no idea what they could have been. It is without a doubt the most violent and gore-strewn game I own.

Any graphical upgrades? Because the game looks really better than anything i've seen in videos

I'm unsure, it would be nice to have someone who has, for whatever reasons, both versions of the game.

Well I've done some research and as far I can tell the European and US versions are identical. As far as I know the only countries who censored it were Germany and Australia.

So why this big delay?
