    Now, I know your probably saying DUH, but I never really guessed that for Xbox (since its mainly based in USA), some games were only released in Europe. I kinda thought it would be as it is in Japan, in which there may be like a handful of games, but the rest USA ports (under World Collection)

    I read today that a Die hard game only came out in Europe. Are there any others? Thanks

    Alien Hominide comes to mind. It came out on Gamecube and PS2 in the states, but the XBox version (the best one due to several additions and improvements) is PAL exclusive.

    Usual answer is games based on UK shows, e.g. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire... did that come out on XBox? Oh, and snooker games, probably.

    Anyone know whether the following have NTSC release?

    World Snooker Championship 2005
    UEFA Champions League 2004/2005
    Brian Lara Cricket 2005
    EA Cricket 2005
    Championship Manager 5
    Manchester United Manager 2005
    (any football management titles)

    I own a copy of Yager for XBox which I bought from a Best Buy store some time ago, and I can most definetly say it's not pal.

    Richard Burns Rally (though EB has it listed on their coming soon list) and 1 or 2 F1 racing games as well.

    Yager did eventually get a stealth release here in the States and can be had for $9.99 at most EB and Gamestop stores.
     

  13. ...If you go down that route then you could add DTM Race Driver 2

    And "Rugby League" - not sure if this made it to the UK or was just an Australian / New Zealand exclusive.

    What Codemasters games have been released on the xbox? I'm pretty sure I remember seeing Colin McRae Rally and Toca Race Driver on it at least - where they released outside PAL land?

    As far as the US market is concerned, we've gotten:

    *Colin McRae 03, 04, 05
    *Pro Race Driver
    *Toca Race Driver 2
    *Second Sight
    *Indy Car series and Indy Car series 2005
    *MTV Music Generator
    *Operation Flashpoint
    *Prisoner of War
    *Mike Tyson boxing

    Quite a few titles...plus Toca Race Driver 3 is on the way as well.

    also known as V8 Supercars v3 over here... :p

    let's face it's the real man's racing - no sissy sequential MT or any sort... they still drive sedan based V8 beast using 5MT with normal fashion gear stick... :D
    And these guys going absolutely flat out...

    Yeah, I always loved doing the Australian championship back on Toca World on the PS1 - none of that wussy front-wheel-drive or 4WD crap ^_^
    Bathurst and Adelaide are two of my most favourite tracks ever!
