Just double checking. Will a US copy work on a UK PAL PS3? Thanks chaps.

Yep. That's the setup I have. US game, running on my PAL machine.

I think it's fairly safe to say there's region free-ness on PS3 just like PSP. I also have US Tiger Woods, Oblivion, Call of Duty 3 and a Jap Railfan... all work fine on PAL machine.

if your running ya ps3 through HDMI should be no problem...

I didn't play this on XBOX because I didn't own one, but this is sensational isn't it!

It's not an easy game but it's not too hard by any means, it's just a good challenge that forces you to learn the game rather than bash buttons aimlessly.

Excellent fun, just blew two hours on it without noticing.

I look forward to further reports of its difficulty once your reach about stage 7 cos unless they've toned it down you're gonna get your arse handed to you.

In a fun way mind Just don't expect it to be "not too hard" at that point

And make sure you have mucho health/magic !!!

[MikeF]

No it's not toned down at all, still the hard ass game that it used to be but at least you can play on Ninja Dog mode once you die too many times.

Played up till the end of Chapter 3 last night (after my 360 died on me) and it was like playing a totally fresh game. yes it's the same as the XBOX version but it looks and plays so much better imho.

oh and US version FTW!!!! as the decaps really make the game better for me, especially seeing as I missed out on them on the XBOX version

[hudson]

Loving this. Just got my Izuna Drop scroll... love that move. Playing for UTs is a great and rewarding challenge, especially when you catch 3 or more enemies in one UT swipe. 3 head offs

Does that Wooden Sword come in handy? Seems it can be upgraded up to 6 times.

[Yoshimax]

Aye the wooden sword can be powered up into the "ultimate weapon" or something iirc from xbox version - You're supposed to think it's a piece of ****

So tempted to pick up the US version now

Even in the demo you can see the improvements in the game, especially when you get screenshots of the old versions and sigma side by side, it really does look lush.

And Yoshis absolutely correct, this game rewards practice and persistence and has several brick walls in this game that you have to either punch through or bounce off and quit I love games that chew you up, spit you out then taunt you back in so I cant wait to get into this all over again... Alam ya raaaaaaaat, your going down, huya HUYA!!

IIRC you can use it later to open up a wall in the village

[Mardigan8]

Does the woodensword not turn into a lightsbaer when you get it ugraded fully?

Picked up the EU version this morning - got a big 18+ on the front - and no de-caps on the human ninja's as of yet..blood galore just like the demo though.. all in all - Lovely...

got mine from shopto and its not 18 cert on the front its 15 unable to say whether it has decap in the pal version as of yet as its still installing.

will update later

[Bleeders]

Best way to test; hold down Triangle and release on an opponent.

[dvdx2]

1080p option on this?

[arcnas]

yes it runs in 1080p
