10 Banned PS2 Games Too Controversial For Their Time

Alongside its vast selection of innovative titles, Sony's second console was also the place to find a host of trivia games such as the Buzz! franchise that were the definition of fun for the whole family. One quiz game that you certainly wouldn’t want to play with your family on Christmas was The Guy Game.

Containing live-action video footage of scantily clad girls on Spring Break, the game would voyeuristically reward players for getting enough questions right by having one of the students flash their breasts.

Unbelievably, this wasn’t the most problematic part of the game either. It turned out that one of the women featured in one of the videos was only 17 at the time, making her a minor in US law and therefore unable to give legal consent to her actions.

While it couldn’t be released as a game, the developers got around the problem by releasing it as an interactive DVD titled The Guy Game: Game Over. There was even an edition that came with a t-shirt.
