10 Video Games "Toned Down" For Western Audiences

When a game is released to an international audience, the team behind it has to be extra careful that its content will translate well to a different language, environment, or culture. Otherwise, the game may sell badly or straight up offend people. This problem is particularly prevalent when games move from Eastern audiences to Western ones.

Here are Ten Video Games that Were Toned Down for Western Audiences.
