Nope! HD-DVD is region-free!

I heard it was region free for DVD and region locked for HD-DVD. No?

You are wise, Thrillho. You don't look wise, but you're wise.

I think I will. I loved VT and VT2. Can you create your own player and play online with him or do you have to use the exisiting players?

You can use your custom player, but the pro players are better.

Apparently you can unlock two fictional players called King and Duke, which are practically unbeatable. I haven't found them yet. I need them too, played three ranked matches, lost three ranked matches.

Finally got round to the demo of Rainbow Six yesterday, deadly stuff. Bought the game on ebay for €30. ALso bought amped 3 and prey. Played the tennis game demo ye're all mad about, don't see the attraction myself...

As you will see in my earlier post, I hated the VT3 demo but love the full game. Even if I do get thrashed evertime I play online.

 

[RSJ]

What's the difference? The core gameplay is in the demo, is it different in the game?

 

[Stan Bowles]

Difference is the difficulty is ramped up in the demo, I just got frustrated and didn't bother with it after a while. In the full game the learning curve is perfect, everytime you rank up on the world tour you get thrashed, but then you stick with it and before you know it you're holding your own.

And the online is great too, apart from the pricks who play as King and Duke. Fuck those guys.

 

[RSJ]

That sounds good, the demo was too hard to be enjoyable.

 

[Johnnyc]

Yeah, the demo was hardcore and kinda fucked the full game over. It takes many hours of playing to be in a position to beat the computer on "hard" and I'm pretty sure "hard" was the difficulty setting in the demo.

"Hard".

GHII review - 9.4/10.

I wonder what it would cost if I traded in my PS2 GH1 game and conroller?

 

[Johnnyc]

Another interesting licence I've yet to get into. Sounds class, so it's a must buy.

Fuck sake, this is a great time to own a 360. So many great titles availble/on the horizon.
