    Kakuto Chojin is the best outstanding figher game so far, The graphics are well designed and fighting moves are realistic. I also love the dual fighting styles and capture the crown. Truly an awesome game. Looking forward to Kakuto Chojin 2 :)

    Kakuto Chojin is a visual treat (HDTV), plus a lot of fun can be unleashed with the 4 Player Mode. You can have 4 people play Capture The Crown which is a nice feature. Cool characters,better than the lame MKDA. Just look at Shadow,Sabre compared to Bo Rai Cho and Cage, it would be like choosing Tekken over Soul Calibur, ITS A CLEAR CHOICE KAKUTO CHOJIN RULES, PLUS IT DOESN'T HURT IT Kakuto Chojin is a visual treat (HDTV), plus a lot of fun can be unleashed with the 4 Player Mode.

    This game came out at a time when Tekken and soul calibur were duking it out with DOA. unfortunately, like me and many others, we failed to give the game a fair shake, because we were already bogged down, competing in other games. now that the luster of those games have worn off, I bought Kakuto chojin online, hoping for something new. and the game PLAYS GREAT. of course, theres the This game came out at a time when Tekken and soul calibur were duking it out with DOA. unfortunately, like me and many others, we failed to give the game a fair shake, because we were already bogged down, competing in other games. now that the luster of those games have worn off, I bought Kakuto chojin online, hoping for something new. and the game PLAYS GREAT. of course, theres the whole... no story in story mode, no endearment of the charachters, but this game is very well on par with Tekken. sure you can Button mash, but this game teaches you that defense is priority. if you play fight night, you will love this game. if you play Tekken, you will like this game. if you live By virtua fighter, you will like this game, for the fact that Detail was paramount, and Hit detection was excellent. nothing was cheap about the game. just the controllers. a 10 is extreme, but the game is fun when you play with your friends, especially those of the same level. but again, no character development. but if you played MK Armageddon, and want something that fixes the stiffness, and gives you quality competition, this game is GREAT. Part 2 would fix these issues. as you play the game, you will see that the overall feel DREAM FACTORY put in the game was Ruthless. for 2002, and it is now 2007, the gameplay holds up surprisingly well. it may even aanger you that Microsoft didnt stop the game before its release and say "put a story in this thing". the game was like Box Defining for microsoft. hopefully they will consider making a sequel that competes with tekken, since PS3 has Tekken on lock down. if you are Curious, BUY THIS GAME. sure it is out of print, but get it, just so you can effectively shake your fist at Microsoft, and make them finish this game.

    KC's four-player mode...is essentially the equivalent of a Yugo with a top-of-the-line 100-disc CD changer and 5.1 surround sound speaker setup. That is, it's useless. [Feb/Mar 2003, p.80]

    A stab at innovation would usually constitute an excuse for an otherwise diabolical title, but in Kakuto Chojin there are no puncture wounds, just lots of internal bleeding. [March 2003, p.104]
  3. This is not a bad game...it is merely uninspired.
