Michigan PAL PS2 Release.

[Leon Retro]

Play have it in their search-engine- but it says ' not released yet ' - and doesn't state a release date!

It's like a bad **** that refuses to budge, isn't it?

Now, where's that rubber glove?

Went to Carrefour (large general supermarket) today, and saw nothing.

But, being the extremely nice guy that I am, and because they don't stock my favourite brand of whiskey, I ventured over to another town, and also the indie store located there.

He'd had a big shipment of neato items in, including 2 still factory sealed PAL copies of "Michigan: Road to Hell". Which I held in my hands, and read the box of, and so can declare that it has indeed been released in France.

It costs 40 Euro, more than I had hoped, and since I am flat broke right now, I didn't pick it up.

All the text on the back of the box was in French, and there was a little French flag next to the info table. But I couldn't actually see any specific box that said "Text Ecran en Francais", which most French games have, and which implies there is no English.

I asked him if it was in English, and he said he hadn't played it, since it only just came out.

But he did say that Echo Night (PS2), which was also released under some small label (I think it was called "Indie Games" believe it or not), only has English in it. I checked the back of it's box, and it showed several country's flags, despite not actually having any French in it. He said most people were having trouble playing it over here.


So who knows? Michigan might have English in it, as well as French, or this copy might be French only. I have no idea, I didn't buy it (and won't be able to for a while), and I know of no one else who has.

But there you go, official confirmation that it is out in France, priced at 40 Euro (roughly ?26). With nothing that I could see, stating specifically whether in game text was English or French only.

Thanks for the inside skinny on that one, I may risk a blind order from amazon.fr on the strength of this...

Cool, no problem. But I give you absolutely no promise on the language contained within, I had maybe 20 seconds to look over it. If you get it, let us know what it is, since Im curious to know about the localisation.

[Family Fry]

Apparently hearing it has a 60hz option and is English/French/Italian and Spanish selectable language.

Superb if thats the case, but I'm still going to hold out just a little longer for confirmation off someone before I go ahead and order the French version (as I can't see it arriving in the UK at this rate).

[hankwangford]

I've taken the plunge and gone ahead with my order. I'll let you know if no one steps in before me.

[Ben-K]

Anyone know any good french import sites? So long as there's English I'll be importing this, and I've been hankering for a copy of Space Channel 5 Pt 2 for a while now....

[Rushy]

Just orderd my copy from Amazon.fr now that I've had confirmed it in English. It's already shipped and should be here in a day or two.

Coolio Iglesias, cheers. Now, how much GCSE french can I remember?

[anephric]

Enough to type "Le Babelfeeesh"?

[Concept]

Cheers guys. I think I'll be going for Amazon France now it's been confirmed they ship to the UK. I'm really looking forward to see what the guys behind Killer7 have been doing elsewhere.

It seems Amazon France have run out of copies.

However, oddly, Australia appears to have got hold of the European PAL version.

Can any NTSC-uk users from Australia confirm if Michigan is for sale in Australia, or is this company presenting to sell something which isn't actually out in Aussie land?
