Gears 2 has been banned in Germany and Japan due to it's explicit content. Both countries failed to give it a rating so by their rules the game cannot be distributed. Here's the article from 360 fanboy:
Coming as no surprise seeing that the original shared the same fate, Gears of War 2 has been deemed too violent, resulting in a sales ban in the great country of Germany. Then again, we don't quite understand the ban seeing that Microsoft could have made the German edition locked into Gears 2's new family friendly mode. But we digress.
Even more odd is that Gears 2 has also been banned in Japan. We guess the Japanese market just can't handle the awesomeness that is Gears of War 2. Sucks for them.
