The controversial North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il has been removed from the Japanese edition of Homefront. The announcement was just the publisher Spike, explaining that the decision was made to prevent the already delidcati relations between Japan, North Korea and South Korea did not deteriorate further.
The CERO (Computer Entertainment Rating Organisation), as reported by Andriasang therefore demanded some changes before giving its approval for marketing. In Japan, for example, Jong-Il will become the "Leader of the North" and North Korea will become "Some North Country." Apart from small changes like the one just cited, the Japanese version will not make any difference from that on which we will soon get its hands us Westerners.
