Kakuto Chojin Xbox Real gameplay (CANCELED GAME)

here a cool fighting game that came out for the Xbox in 2003 short lived cause it pulled back & Canceled

here what i know from another youtube user "Yahair"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtvz8MQZocw

This is Kakuto Choujin a fighting game developped by the japanese studio Dream Factory (Tobal, Ehrgeiz, The Bouncer, UFC Tapout 2, Fighting Beauty Wulong, Crimson Tear or Bleach on the PS2) and released by Microsoft in Japan and the US.

The problem with this game, is that it contains an african/arabic muai thai fighter named Asad which fights in an arabic themed ring and which background music contains samples of the arabic term "Allah Akbar" (God is great).

In fear of the polemic, Microsoft decided on february 2003 to call back all the Kakuto Chojin discs and cancelled the european release of the game.

I don't understand why Microsoft has not released an edited version of the game after getting out this level!
When you look at the videos for Kakuto Chojin (there is a combos video on youtube), it seems to be a good fighting game.

And this is not the first time that somebody used islamic chants, there is a Jinguji Saburo episode on the first PlayStation which uses islamic call for prayers in it's opening (you can also find it on Youtube).

Somethimes, i can't understand some stupid choices coming from misunderstanding of the islamic religion (adding a post 9/11 troma).

Doesnt look bad. I cant believe they cancelled the game because of a song. They could have easily edited the track, replacing the offensive lyrics. Makes me think there was some other reason why the game got cancelled...

[GmodCaboose56]

@truendymion There was, actually. Poor sales. Because of that, it never got re-released.

I have a original copy of this game. It's really a great game. But i don't like the sound (hit) the stage is weird.

I wouldn't have banned it...

XD i haven't finished my comment so just to say this game was cancelled mainly because it wans't a good game at all in my opinion

[neotenylv09]

wait the song says "God is great" , and there were samples! so why somebody would get offended by that, well perhaps there was another good reason to cancell this game

The whole situation with the chant was gonna start a world war, people! Don't you understand how sensitive religion is?! I'm kidding. They shouldn't have a stick up the ass because of something so minor. Yes, the game sucked ass because lack of fighters and cheap button mashing, but this actually had controversy.
