>Following its initial release, the home console/computer version created controversy for its inclusion of a villain character whose design featured a mustache, a bullet bandolier and a sombrero. In late November 1999, a peaceful protest with more than 120 people was held outside Activision's headquarters by Mestizo activists who perceived the character as an offensive stereotype towards Mexicans. Activision and Disney stated that the character's appearance would be altered in future copies of the game; there were no plans to recall or amend current copies.

Thoughts on this game?

Was a second version of the game ever made?
I recall this being a decent-ish uh, Mario 64-like game way back in the days. It was one of the few games that couldn't be emulated on an N64 emulator either
It's been forever ago though, it's probably as empty as the Gex games

Chicanos are nigger tier. If it was a rich white man or a hillbilly, they wouldn't bat a fucking eye.

One where the Mexican bandito enemies were replaced with American cowboys who functioned the exact same way.

You're right. In the original movie the guy ended up unemployed because he stole a toy. Why is no one complaining about it.

No he was still employed, just sad because he missed out on more money.

It's amazing how much they were able to improve from the barely playable first game.
