at least jet set radio, could mean a radio channel for (or against) that group of people, whereas jet gring radio makes no sense whatsoever

Moho was actually a wicked little game thank you very much, certainly not as bad as you lot are making out! ok it wasn't revolutionary or anything but it certainly isn't on the POD 2 or Speed Devils Online level of badness! lol

I find it hard to believe that neither REZ nor Aqua GT or Stunt GP came out in the US... how did that happen? the obvious one was Shenmue 2 lol but damn, I didn't realise their were other games the US didn't get.

I still don't feel bad for you guys in the US in the LEAST though lol, US gamers can't complain really, I mean after all they got online versions of Outtrigger, Unreal tournament, got games like Ooga Booga, AFO, Seaman, Seventh Cross, Armada etc all of which we poor europeans either didn't get or got crappy single player dumbed down versions... how lucky were we?

[mazonemayu]

yeah, specially considering we (europe & US) got all the "crap" games, compared to what jewels of games exist only in japanese

You guys got Rez, Headhunter, AND Shenmue II
Those are each quality single player games, I'd take any of them over AFO, Outtrigger, and Ooga Booga which were pretty much built to be no fun unless playing multiplayer. (I can't get over the fact AFO isn't multiplayer offline!)

Shenmue 2 didn't come out in the US because Microsoft swooped in and made a deal with Sega to make it an xbox exclusive in North America. Since Rez was a PS2 exclusive in NA as well, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a similar deal.

true, Japan got more than any other region obviously, but the PAL region was the unwanted cousin or something we just got shafted all the time in every way possible when it came to releases. Either games didn't come out at all or if they did they were Neutered severely, the UK and EU were by far the worse treated region, I personally was most upset about Armada lol

I really wish I could cut off that excess blank space from your nice list mazonemayu.

Nah I wouldn't know where to start to edit a picture THAT long.

No, seriously thank you for that list. I already linked this post from over at Theisozone. atreyu187 got a nice list up there a few days ago of NA and Europe only games.

DCUltrapro, I played Speed Devils Online back in the day and it was a lot of fun Certainly not a bad game There was a slight handling problem - I think it was because of the online implementation..........so maybe the first game had the edge as an offline experience.

Comparing either game to POD, well that's a bit naughty

Neo I know what you mean, it wasn't a HORRIBLE game as such but I ALWAYS had trouble playing it online, it never worked, and when it went offline after only a short time in the UK it had nothing going for it, just an offline race mode for 1 player. It was pretty shit, once the offline stopped working which was pretty much day 1 for me lol
