I would even be willing to say it looks like someone has overlaid something over the original word - it may be my eyes, but i can almost see the outline of letters under "spastic" that aren't there under the other words (there is a black outline/shadow on the other words, but not white, unless it's very localised ghosting).

I see the exact same too, there is a word underneath that.

I don't see anything to suggest 'spastic' was photoshopped in.

The words are indeed there, I have played it and wondered when it would get pulled after the last fiasco.

If I get the chance I'll see if I can dig out some proof

I'd go as far as to say, it might be valuable if they are changing something other than what they claim

No not yet bought it late last night and haven't got round to playing it yet today. Hope it works I can see it being a pain trying to get the supermarket to take it back now the seal is broken.

Saw this for sale today in, strange.

Games(tm) reckon it's pretty pap anyway.

They suck too... but only because I want Sega back in the console market.

My girlfriend got hold of this game on release day and we have just played through it.

It did not say Spastic to us, it said Frantic. So this is not something that affects all release day products.

Logsi · 16 Jul 2007 at 14:46

Popped into tesco today and found this?

Has it been launched now?

As for the screenshot with spastic in it, there was an issue animal crossing calling folk a slang word for someone who masturbates.

GarethDW · 16 Jul 2007 at 16:25

There was this one too...

Although it was user entered text so doesn't really count.

Hardly a fiasco, i've seen much worse words in games.
