Kakuto Chojin

[mailman187666]

I just picked this game up at a flea market and read an article somewhere here on DP that it was taken off of store shelves due to some kind of chant that may be offensive. Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the version that has the offensive material and the one without, also, how hard to find is this game anyways (I know its not all that good of a game either).

There is only one version. It was taken off the shelves and was suppose to be destroyed by stores. Wasn't reprinted or anything like that. I don't think this game is too rare however.

I don't remember what it was, maybe it was the chant i guess.

We actually got a traded-in copy of this last week too...

'Several religious things'.

I'm pretty sure this game DID get a reprint with those things removed, but I don't follow the XBox scene so I may be mistaken. MobyGames says it did get a reprint, though.

Microsoft never actually reprinted the game. It was doing horribly sales wise, had been panned critically and then background chant stuff came out and they pulled it. They announced that there was going to be a reprint, however I never saw them come back into any stores.

Despite what Moby Games says... There was no reprint.
