It was only banned in certain parts of Europe (I believe), and that's just because there was some imagery they didn't like. Whenever the story features children in a survival/horror setting, and it's relatively clear abnormal and potentially Satanic things are happening to them, the ratings guys in Europe get miffed. Remember, they're more restrictive than the ESRB over here.
But in reality, no, there isn't anything more disturbing in Rule of Rose than in any other survival/horror game I've played. At least, not that I saw (I didn't finish it).
