Just to add, you might want to tag it onto the list:
Gears Of War
Riot Act (Crackdown)
Chrome Hounds
Dead or Alive 4
Lost Planet
Ridge Racer 6
The Japanese versions of these games will play in English when put in a console set to English locale.
Also, be advised - if buying a Japanese machine, the only games that are problematic are:
Armored Core 4 - J-version plays in Japanese, USA version is not region-free (no word on Euro version yet)
Phantasy Star Universe - ^^ as above
Amped 3 - USA version is not region free, never saw domestic J-release
i'm looking to play splinter cell double agent PAL for the original xbox on my NTSC/J 360, i've loaded up the PAL compatability files (i think, i got them from a UK demo disk), does anyone know whether its region free, and whether it would work on my machine?
You'll have to trawl through 1st play, but IIRC there are some differences between the two versions (besides the graphics). Some things are better on the Xbox, some better on the 360.
i already have the 360 version, but according to reviews the now-gen versions are a completely different kettle of fish, more in line with the previous games (i.e. tooled up and hiding in corners) and has proper co-op, not online vs bots. i'll probably pick up SC;CT aswell (already got it on PS2..), because of the uberlicious graphics and cheapness.
anyways, i suspected as much, thanks for clearing it up though
Does anyone know if ANY 2K published games have been region free?
I'm just wondering if the Darkness (PAL) will work on my japanese console as there's no planned release there and it's one of my most looked forward to games
