Publisher Konami has yet to decide if its Iraq-based third-person shooter Six Days in Fallujah will see a release in Europe.

That’s according to a GamePro.de report from Konami’s Gamer's Day in Frankfurt last week (translated by Joystiq), where company representatives reportedly said that developer Atomic Games’ portrayal of the game's action elements would heavily influence a final decision.

We’ve so far been unable to reach Konami Europe for comment on the reports.

Presented in a documentary-like style, Six Days in Fallujah is based on the 2004 US military campaign Operation Fury, in which the US lead an assault against an Iraqi insurgence in the city of Fallujah.

Planned for release in 2010 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, it will feature fully destructible environments, a co-op campaign and competitive multiplayer modes.

Despite only being announced last week, the game has already attracted a fair deal of controversy, with individuals affected by the conflict calling for a ban.

I can't believe EDGE has led me to the goddamn Daily Mail website. Anywhere but that shoddy, cheap, alarmist, rag of cack please.

That's wrong - clicking on the link to find out more about the controversy the game has caused takes you to the Daily Mail website. Frankly I'd rather have stumbled across a link to tubgirl.

If you really want an outside source to show the controversy surrounding this game, couldn't you have found one that isn't from a newspaper that's outraged by practically anything, including video games in general?
