04/15/2011 - Rent a Hero No 1 Rare English Version for XboxRent
A Hero No. 1 - Rare English Version Discovered
Sega's
cult series Rent A Hero comes to the original Xbox. This rare English version of the game is actually a port of the Japanese
Dreamcast title. Although this game is complete, it was never released on the American market.
This
quirky and extremely unique action titles centers around a super hero for hire, hence the name "rent a hero." You'll
travel around the city looking for jobs, helping citizens, fighting criminals, and delivering restaurant fliers. Its a wild
blend of interesting game play that makes for a truly unique gaming experience.
The game even features a cameo
by former Sega Saturn Mascot Segata Sanshiro!!
We hope Sega will consider releasing this game on XBLA, PSN or possibly
on a future Dreamcast Collection.
