Alright, this is a really tricky question...

[0rion]

This is a really difficult question to pose without people thinking I'm trolling or kidding around. Has ITG PS2 ben re-released at some point I didn't know about? The reason I asked is that I noticed something really strange about mine. I unlocked Edit mode! Just kidding.

In all seriousness, though, I could have sworn that Charlene and Rom-eo & Julie8 were censored more. For example, on my version, the word "drugs" is distorted (a weird double-echo sound is added), but the phrases "dark side" and "sex" are completely uncensored. While on Rom-eo and Julie8, the line "I am a sexy robot" - or whatever it is - is untouched. Was I wrong about those things being censored? Because I could have sworn they were.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have an UNcensored version (Land of the Rising Sun is still missing the "land of zen/sin" and "bikini lines" parts), but did RedOctane release a less censored version behind the ESRB's backs or something?

(Edit: Corrected the hyphens on Rom-eo & Julie8.)

That's a very good question because my ITG PS2 copy has no censors of anything on it. I'm not making this up.

1) When did you buy it?
2) What rating do you have on the game box?

There was something a long time ago where the ESRB listed two hits for ITG.
ITG - E
ITG - E10
Presumably, you have E10, double check for us?

Ok... now I want to return my copy to Redoctane to get one where "PA Theme" doesn't sound like Stephen Hawking did DJ record blending.

Remember that tournament in Colorado Springs (Joyrides) that Steve hosted, Jason? That's where I got it, along with that Ignition pad.

Yeah, it's really strange that some versions seem to be censored differently (or, in SearchingforAAA's case, not at all).

I actually don't know the lyrics to PA Theme (yes, I feel bad about that), but I didn't really notice any blatant censorship. I'll look up the lyrics and then I'll play it again when I get back home. I've only played through it a few times (I'm working on my 11s and 12s right now), but I'll take a look and let you know next time I get to the library.

this is very interesting. hopefully its also a sign that roxor/redoctane wont be so damn paranoid next time around. i got my copy when it first came out, so mine was quite obviously one of the ones with a retarded amount of censorship.

i c, i was under the impression that roxor had some say in the developing process for the PS2 release, and i must agree with Shinmizu, considering most of the ITG demographic is teens and the younger players tend to be attracted to DDR. Another point i thought about was this, since the new Harry Potter movie is PG-13, how many people will actually pay attention? im sure that the same following will watch it regardless, so why not use the same tactic and let ITG be uncensored?

PS: im sorry if this makes no sense whatsoever, im very zoned out at the moment

SirOrion, you can go download the torrent (I'm not going to tell you where, but it's not difficult to find). It's actually not illegal either, because you bought the game.

[Joel Stud?!]

[Houou Don't You Want Me]

Braintrust, here is a quick test: Play Land of the Rising Sun. After the second time the chorus plays (after the "Aw!" at about 1:00 into the song), is the first line "Weather's so high, I'm feeling so bold", or is it "Bikini lines and bedroom toys"?

If it's the first one, it's censored. I would like to add that the line "Weather's so high, I'm feeling so bold" is the 3rd line after the "Aw!", and in the censored version it's used to cover up the bikini-lines line, so in the cesnored version it's played twice.

I hope I made sense with that post, I had a struggle with wording it.

[Joel Stud?!]

I have the censored version! Anyways, I guess some of the items listed as censored in the thread forever ago weren't actually censored.

[Houou Don't You Want Me]

You probably just aren't noticing the censors.

Sorry about the week it's taken me to reply again. I should mention once again that I'm on a library computer so...

Anyway, you have to pay more attention, Houou. I specifically said in the very first post that Land of the Rising Sun was indeed censored, but other songs like Charlene weren't censored as badly. As a matter of fact, I said right out that my version was not UNcensored by any stretch of the imagination.

Anyway, it looks like they left PA Theme alone on this one, because I sat down and read the lyrics while listening to the song in Practice Mode, and nothing seemed different. And I suppose if they were going to get rid of something, they would have changed the part about "ownz your azz," toward the middle of the song.

I suppose it doesn't really matter all that much to me, considering that PA Theme is only a 6 on Hard and has no Expert steps; so I probably won't play it all that much anyway.
