So I've been dying to get this game and I finally have the money for the U.S. version, but I need confirmation that it isn't completly butchered cuz of censorship, I've read articles saying there is hardly a difference, so I'm thinking about getting it soon, but I'd like to hear from people that have heard of any specific differences, I hear the script has some lines taken out of it, because the translation from Polish to English had some problems ( http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/49819) and that same article pointed out a link to some forum topic, that also pointed out alot of things. (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=117648&page=8 )

basically, the "EU" version is winning IMO, because of what I heard, such as "dismemberment" and some lines bieng horribly edited, that link to the thread has some great examples, and one funny one is "I absolutely adore a hard throbbing **** stuffed deeply into the velvety folds of my womanhood" has been censored down to a simple "I love Richard"

Its 45 euros in the Netherlands here... wheres is this 70 coming from? Also 70 USD = equal to 48 euros. Most products tend to be more expensive in Europe since they take advantage of the Euros currency.

The only difference I've seen between the two games are the "sex scenes" which is really just a card with nude art on it. It can hardly be considered gratuitous. I have the EU version simply because I don't like the idea of playing or watching something that's been censored.

Exactly because of the Euro currency being bigger than the one of dollars.

Uhm.. why are there two versions of the same game?

Not two versions... European version is uncut. There are sex scenes in the game wich have been cut in the US version.
