Tip: the marketplace only goes by the country the gamertag was set up with; you can get US / JP only downloads by setting up a free silver account for each.

Nice one, didn't realise that.... hope MS don't kick my door in now for registering a US account

the visuals on this are pretty poor.. but the control.. wow.. i can actually aim and kill people using a gamepad on this. Just been having a few rounds on xblive and having a good time.

shame it looks like sin.

Played Q4 at a high competive level on PC and had to quit as I took it too far.

Wouldent mind the 360 one for 4 player split screen though for when friends are round with beer.

the controls are quite possibly the best keyboard/mouse mapped to joypad conversions ever ... the game controls so tightly its a joy to play, even with the stuttering framerate, vaseline covered character models and piss poor textures on display (at times)

Suprisingly, 360 Q4 has no offline splitscreen multiplay, only Live and System Link.

Shocking really when you consider the included Q2 has it.

I thought the controls were awful compared to a keyb and mouse.... COD2 controls are much better imho

If the devs strugggled to get the single screen stuff running at a decent framerate, i can't imagine that they were gonna get it running split screen with a playable framerate.

Does anyone know how you would set up a Japanese account? You would need a Japanese phone number wouldn't you?

[bignige]

Nah, just put in all your UK details, worked for me. The only things you need are relevant postcodes. I used 90210 for US & 1830055 for Asia

Anything interesting on the JPN marketplace worth creating an account for?

Thanks Nige

Not yet, just a couple of trailers for Jpn exclusive games at the mo, I'm hoping for a Wrestle Kingdom/DoA4 demo, fingers crossed.

I would have thought so, they wouldn't region code demos would they? I'll try them out on my pal 360 if any appear and let you know.

cheers i downloaded the wrestle kingdom video so far and i would like a demo of it as i guess that's the only way I'll ever get to play it

I'm pretty impressed with this demo (online) - The fact it has a proper party system in it immediately rallied with me - CoD2 please take note.

Very fast, great controls - I was shocked at how poor it looked but it just plays so tight - Was great having been stuck with PD0/CoD2 online and (to a much lesser extent now) Halo2 to be reminded how insanely visceral FPS'ing can be.
