Germany

Germany (in German: Deutschland) is a country in Europe. The country uses the USK rating system to rate all Grand Theft Auto releases, with the majority of the series being rated USK 16+.

Since Germany is quite strict on ratings, after paranoia over violent video games, a number of the GTA games (since GTA3) have suffered cuts or edits. Some examples include: the removal of blood, pedestrians no longer dropping money when killed, no headshots, some missions removed, some weapons missing or lack additional functionality.
