The governor of the Mexican state of Chihuahua has ordered that copies of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 be confiscated, according to a report on Spanish-language site El Diario.

Set in Juárez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas, GRAW2 follows an elite combat unit battling Mexican rebels in the year 2014. Earlier this month, the mayor of Juárez, a city in Chihuahua on the Mexican-American border, criticized the game sharply, saying it instilled poor values and portrayed his town's people as violent.

According to the report, Chihuahua Governor José Reyes Baeza Terrazas considers the game an insult not only to the city of Juárez, but to the entire country. Currently, authorities are gathering information on where the game is being sold, reproduced, and distributed in preparation for a seizure campaign, El Diario reported.

Oh sure, ban this game, but let GTA be sold when it is actually worse (in violence terms, not quality)

Except the thing is that GRAW2 is about a hypothetical Future Civil War in Mexico, in which Mexicans are the enemy and threat to the USA.

Actually, are WW2 games really banned in Germany? I thought as long as swastikas and any Nazi references aren't present, it's ok.

I'm interested in this game though, being Mexican.
And I haven't played any of the other GR games much

Actually, if you look at the WW2 Game Market, you see that half (if not the majority) of WW2 Games, don't even have swastikas. They probably do it so that they can easily sell it in Europe, where It's a more controversial issue.
Look at Battlefield 1942, one of the best selling WW2 games.
There is NO mention of Nazis at all. They're just depicted as Germans.
