3. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2

Tom Clancy has a number of books and a number of tactical video games that were inspired by his writing. Yet Advanced Warfighter 2 upset the Mexican state of Chihuahua. The entirety of the Mexican government was not upset by the publishing of the game, but local officials did not take too kindly to how the antagonists of the story were portrayed within the context of the game.

The game can be found in other Mexican states…but not in Chihuahua. The main gripe was that they felt the city was portrayed in a stereotypical way and hurt tourism to the state as a whole. If you’ve noticed a common theme – countries often invoke bans if they feel video games depict their country in what they see to be an unfavorable manner. At the end of the day, a lot of these bans seem to be a bit of a stretch, this is no exception.
