[edit] Reception and controversy

Kakuto Chojin, though lauded for its graphics, received unfavorable reviews from both critics and gamers, citing its shallow story mode and its lack of bonus material. Game Informer magazine described it as a Tekken ripoff, although a portion of the Kakuto Chojin development team were indeed ex-Tekken developers.

It was pulled off the shelves in early 2003 for offensive religious content, namely that it had verses from the Quran being chanted as part of the background sound effects. It was later re-released with the offending content removed.
