Saint's Row: The Third dildo gimped in Japan

THQ's phallic weapon effort all in vein.

Penis-shaped Saint's Row: The Third weapon The Penetrator has fallen foul of Japanese censors.

THQ has been told to remove the "veins and physics" from the purple dildo, which is used in-game as a melee weapon.

An un-named THQ representative told Game Informer that "stricter guidelines" in Japan were apparently to blame for changes to the three foot phallus.

In-game, the dildo is attached to the handle of a baseball bat. Footage of the device in action lies below.
