Being one of the best games around, I checked. I did not find any official word about the censorship, although it DOES look strange, how the intro chops up at the beheading and the floating characters, I have yet to see official word about it. It may be so that the censorship is in there even in the US version.
OFF TOPIC, a little
It is very strange how enormous this game is, how many good things are going for it but how unpolished and unfinished it is. The QA team did not do their job at all, in my opinion.
An example is if you've seen the walkthroughs that came out after E3 you will notice at the character creation a little something called histories. A trait that gives your character some depth and issues. This is still in the engine but not in the game. You can still activate it through the console and use its benefits but it is buggy so it won't work properly everywhere.
There are tons of bugs which you have experienced yourself, no doubt.
Given how much detail and passion has been put into the game to create a certain atmosphere it is awkward and extremely strange that it is so unpolished. They even had extra time on their hands, considering they finished the game a few months earlier than the release due to the HalfLife 2 release (they couldn't release it before HalfLife 2, contract stuff). So methinks they would have at least worked on a patch all this extra time they had. But no. Very odd.
Hopefully the histories and other bugs will be adressed in patches.
ON TOPIC
As we have yet to hear official word, I believe and see that it is only MY thoughts about it, that it is a late development hasty edited censorship.
All we can do, for now, is hope they make a bad-ass patch that lets us unleash the game to its true potential!
