Shinobido Takumi PS2

[fallenangle]

Belatedly I've discovered that one of my favourite ninja games, PS2 Shinobido: Way of The Ninja (aka in Japan Shinobido Imashime) had a Japan only expansion pack: Shinobido Takumi.

I can't find some important information about it so does anybody here know if:-

1). It is a stand alone game ie. requires/does not require the original Japanese Shinobido Imashime?

2). It is compatible with Swap-Magic on a PAL UK PS2?

It's stand-alone. It's just loads of seperate missions.

So then yeah, a PAL swap magic would work great on a PAL UK PS2 with it.

Thanks, I wanted to check that it wasnt a dual layer DVD.

^ Yes I know it is essentially just loads of one off user created missions but the original game wasn't really that much more itself. The same locations were re-used many time with the only thing changed being the criteria/layout - protect the convoy, raid the convoy, kill the guards, assassinate the bad guy etc etc.

I just fancy I might enjoy another Tenchu-esque ninja stealth game like that sometime this year. As buying a XB360 is still off the cards for me in the forseable future I thought importing Shinobido: Takumi might be worth considering.
