  The offensive word was "Spastic", and the game has since been re-released in some shops in the UK.

  How is it possibly for a assemble error to create a offensive word ? And why not all the games have it?

  I assume it means that the version that normally would have been given to the UK had that word removed, but some other version with the word still in it got released by mistake.
  
  But spastic?

  Anyone here from the UK? Maybe they may know more about that word. Don't see how it can be offensive, either. Someone must have done this as a joke, an inside man you could say. It's still lame, because all you get is a lot of angry customers.

    Spastic over here in the UK is actually used as a kind of slur. If you don't like someone one term that can be used as an insult is to call them a "Spastic" so I can see why it was removed from the game.

  The word "spastic" was found in the Mind Quiz game for DS, not in Mario Party 8.

  Yeah, it was in Mind Quiz. Some lady was playing it, I believe in a hospital, and got a bad score so they gave her a spastic ranking. She was pissed because either her Grandfather or Son was "Mentally Handicapped."

  WIKIKI:
  "Mario Party 8 was reportedly withdrawn from game shelves because the game includes the word "spastic", which is considered an offensive word in the United Kingdom.
  
  The word was in the American version of the game, however, the word is generally considered as innocuous in America. The word is also in other European versions, because most of Europe does not consider the word offensive."
  
  UK needs to lighten up. Damn pansies.

  If I was a kid, and saw the word "spastic" in a Mario Party game, I would have thought nothing of it.
  
  It's parents who feel the need to bitch about these "offensive" words, when the kids probably don't even give a damn.

  Glad I don't live in the UK. That sucks though, to have them all recalled. What was the "offensive material" anyways? Is it really that bad?

    You should read the comments they've mentioned it many times, and as I said above as well, Spastic IS considered a form of insult in the UK, and it actually makes sense to me as to why they removed the game.
