Kakuto Chojin
Manufacturer: Microsoft
Kakuto Chojin takes you into the dark and seamy underworld of the pit fighter! Support for 5.1 Dolby Digital
Amazon.com Product Description:
Kakuto Chojin delivers a new level of realism where no two fights are the same, and there are no canned reactions: every punch, kick, and counter has a different effect. Heads snap back, sweat flies, muscles flex, legs buckle. Up to four fighters can engage in the action at the same time--go two-on-two or have an all out four-person brawl. Forget fighting pretty boys and supermodels. These are the folks you never want to meet in a dark alley. These fighters are tough--right out of some secret fight club. This is a grim, somber, deadly underworld, where fighters move among the shadows and battles take place on rain-soaked rooftops, dark alleys, and mysterious chambers.

Great game.
I have played fighting games for a long time and I am still playing this great game. This game is a steal .
Just an average fighter
I am a fighter junky. I have played them all from street fighter to Tekken 5. I have been looking forever for this game when I heard they were going to take it off the market. I figured it will be a collector one day and well hey, its a fighter.
Let me start off with the good stuff. The Graphics are NICE. Smooth textures, animations, reflections, reactions really all top notch. The fighting is quick and not as jerky as some other people have said. I found it to be quite smooth.
Here comes the bad. The button layout is very weird. Only three buttons, low medium and high. The rest are custom buttons that you can make as grab moves or your unblockable move. The small amount of buttons makes for very limited amounts of combos that you can pull off. All the ones you can are very easy. In most cases, you can hit one button five times and get a five hit combo. Yes, I have beat the game using ONE BUTTON. YUK! The story mode is not there. You pick a player, you fight 10 matches and then at the end, you get a lame wrap-up of what you character did after the tournamment. You do not get an explanation of the creepy looking final boss. She is just some crazy looking horned chick who is easy to beat. The game just seem incomplete.
I guess the game is all about the juggle combos. I have seen some sick ones pulled off on YOUTUBE but that is if you can remember how to pull of a launching move. I do it sometimes and I dont mean to. When you are fighting it kind of feels like Tekken 1 or Virtual fighter 2. There is just not much you can do in this game. If this game came out when Tekken 1 came out, it would get 5 stars. Now a days, it is just average. There are MANY other better fighting games out there but definateley a good one to get for the fighting game lover.
Laughable
I have to be honest, I'm no expert on fighting games..but this game fails in basically every aspect. Horrible controls, forgettable characters,bad story mode, and probably the worst sound effects ever in a next-gen game. The ONLY reason to pick this game up is because its rare because it was only sold for about a month in stores, and might be a collectible someday, but if your looking for a fighting game on the Xbox run far from this and get Dead or Alive.
DONT BELIEVE THE HATERS!
First off, let me clear things up. I'm a fighter fan. I've played them all, and yes I consider myself an authority. When I'm not jamming out on Street Fighter, I'm playing some Neo Geo fighter that you've never heard of. Now let me say this: Kakuto is a fantastic, focused, and addictive 3D fighter. Alot of people like to say that this game is as deep as the kiddy pool, and that its all mash.. Thats total bull. If you want a masher, go play Tekken. This game has alot of neat features that reviewers always fail to mention. People should really play the ends and outs of a game before they start bashing and start throwing out 1 star ratings As you've probobly already read, the graphics are no joke. The characters are dark, creepy, and thick and are totally original. The same goes for the stages. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be that its not all that great 1 player. You have no fancy story modes, no unlockables, blah, blah, who cares! Your supposed to play fighting game with friends anyway! I could go on and on about how cool this game really is, but I wont.. Forget all the haters and their reviews, this is the hottest new fighter to come out in a long time. Snatch it up while you still can.
Worst fighting game ever!
I have the ultimate misfortune of having wasted money on this lousy game. If it were possible to give a rating of zero stars here I would. It is, in my opinion, the WORST fighting game EVER.The characters look like of bunch of clowns, literally -- bad knock off crosses between pro-wrestlers and circus clowns. The skinning looks like plastic. The gameplay is ridiculously easy, not to mention boring and repetitive. The so-called fountains of sparks and such are one corner in one arena. The arenas are all simple squares with no interesting features whatsoever. The blood effects are simply too pathetic to go into. In short this is an elementary tech demo not a finished game and I am shocked that it was ever released in the state it's in.THEY SHOULD PUT A SKULL AND CROSSBONES POISON SYMBOL ON THE PACKAGE BECAUSE YOU WILL DIE OF BOREDOM PLAYING IT!!!
