Glen Cove, New York-based Acclaim said the version for Sony Corp.'s leading PlayStation 2 console would be released Nov. 15 in the States.

In the edited version of the game, players will be unable to create topless female characters for the stunt-bike sequences, Acclaim spokesman Alan Lewis told Reuters.

"BMX XXX" has incited controversy because of its content, which includes strippers, pimps and coarse language and features the tagline "Keep It Dirty."

Some of the nation's leading retailers have said they will not carry the game because of the subject matter, although Best Buy Co. Inc. said last month it would consider selling an edited PS2 version.

Unedited versions of the game for Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox and Nintendo GameCube will still be available, the company said.

Nintendo GameCube for kids? I don't think so! ;)
