The other thing that is great about Rare besides the fact that they make great games, is that they are based here in the UK! This means the we get their great games earlier than the rest of the world! Poor Japan had to wait over a year before Perfect Dark was released over there! & then they didnt even like it that much! Their should be more companies based over here so that we can get our games quicker instead of waiting months after the USA has had them!

Forget PD2 for now.

Hype simply softens the impact that the almighty game will have when it hits you in the face.

Look and think about other Gamecube games for now and let Rare's beauty sneak up and absorb you when you least expected it!

It didnt go down too well in Japan, Perfect Dark that is!!
For some reason they dont like FPS's - Strange seeing as some of the best games are FPS's!!

There's quite a few games that don't get released in Japan for ages after we get them. There not really into first person shooters as much as the west. They tend to like their RPG's, their Luv-em-ups, and their horse riding simulators!

The main reason we dont get games till after the other contries isnt because of the produuction of them! Thats why they sometimes do a worldwide release of something! Its the fact until resently we havent had a Nintendo of Europe! Instead we have had 'Game' distrobuting the games!

The other reason is because they have to translate the language! Again it isnt english that is the problem, bbecause places like australia get games with english on them (just not French & german)! One good thing is though you can get import english PAL (so they work on our machines) games before they get released over here from Australia, but not many companies do it for a good price! It would be good if SR started doin it! Hopeful this problem wont be so bad now that there is a NOE like NOA!

I was so suprised though, when I found out that Japan didn't even have it whilst I was actually playing on it!
