Free Assassin's Creed II on XBL?

Blame Japanese regulations.

You don't get anything free that's rated CERO Z.

So instead of Assassin's Creed II, Japan got Full House Poker. (July 16)
Instead of Crackdown, Japan gets Shadownrun. (Aug 1)
Instead of Dead Rising 2, I believe Japan gets Lost Planet 2. (Aug 16)

Don't worry. Similar restrictions apply to Germany.

 

And in Australia, I'm guessing they get a My Little Pony game?
All the other games were refused classification.

 

For Oz.

 

Probably going to be like every other Suda51 game: looks nice and has an interesting premise, but the actual gameplay isn't very good.

 

That's the worry I have. No More Heroes was great though so he does have the ability to make a good game but EVERY game since No More Heroes has played like shit IMO. They all look good but are all average at best.

It's a good job I own a UK Gold Account too. So Ill get both Crackdown and Shadowrun. I already own the discs for Dead Rising 2 and lost Planet 2 though so I'll be passing on them. Actually Lost Planet 2 is a very good game. Dead Rising 2 I just can't be bothered to finish it. They are all the same. Do this, do that, do this again, then do that. Time and time again with a boss battle thrown in. That's not a game, it's like being in work.

 

NMH would've been good if it wasn't for the boss battles: try to pick away their life bar one pixel at a time, which takes about three weeks, while they can just instakill you. That's why I got rid of the game.

edit: Well, OK, guess it's just that one boss fight. Still, it was so shitty I decided not to bother playing anymore.
