I've been souping up to by a PS3 for about a week now and God of War 3's lack of English support was a wake up call for me. I played Call of Duty: World at War on the XBOX360 with English voice / Korean menus and it was a frustrating experience that I'd like to avoid in the future. The backs of the game boxes can be confusing (point in case: Gears of War says it has Korean menus but then you play it and it's full English.)

Here's a list of the games I am interested in eventually playing. If anyone has, or knows anything about the following games I'd appreciate information on what to expect from a Korean release of the game.

blue text is taken off a website my friend relies on, any firsthand experience with these games would be welcome.

God of War 3 � Korean language only

Demon�s Souls � English and Korean

MAG �

Valkyrie Chronicles � Unavailable

Rachet and Clank Future � English

Resistance �

Resistance 2 - English

Warhawk �

Killzone 2 � Korean and English

LittleBigPlanet � English

Assassin�s Creed 2 � Korean Text

Heavy Rain � English

Folks Soul - Korean and English

FIFA 10 - English audio, Korean text/menu

Ninja Gaiden 2 - English/Japanese Audio, English text

Metal Gear Solid 4 - English/Japanese

Assassin's Creed 2 is in Korean.
Same with Little Big Planet.

I ordered both off Play Asia.

Uncharted 2 wasn't on that list but it's all in English and is one of the best PS3 games out there. Definitely worth buying.

Get Warhawk on the PS3 store...
Heavy Rain is in English

I have heard that it depends on what your system's language is set to. My Little Big Planet is Asian, but everything runs in English (but I cannot buy any add-ons).

assasin's is korean text, english voice and I didn't have a problem finishing the game.

Demon's soul's and Heavy rain are multiple languages on the disc.

Also this thread just killed my limited interest in God of war 3.

my korean copy of LBP (goty edition) is all in english. same for battlefield bc 2, ratchet and clank future 2, and heavy rain.

Here's a website my friend uses for info. It's a Korean guy trying to sell Korean games abroad, so he lists all the pertinent info. BUT, does KOREAN SUBTITLE mean subtitles or menus? damn confusing.

http://www.qwergame.com/ps3.aspx

I have updated my original post to reflect your responses. Eventually I will clean this thread up, add the xbox360 info I already have and post a "games to import" thread.

I only posted the games that I was unsure of here, A friend had already told me about uncharted 2 so I didn't add it. If there are any games not on this list that you have played and and had trouble with the language, please let me know. I'll add it to the list.

I will post some limited info from that website, perhaps only if SUBTITLE says KOREAN and ENGLISH...

XBOX360 has similar problems with DLC being region specific and Microsoft points being region specific as well. I have a US account through a US debit card so no dramas there, but friends have run into problems when wanting to recharge their Korean accounts. Seems like your account region is tied to your credit card's country of origin.

My PlayStation friend has circumvented the DLC problem by establishing separate PSN ids for all the regions he owns games for. So a Korean ID (prob through wife because don't u need a resident id number?), a US/Canadian ID, and a Hong Kong ID for Play-Asia games. I talked to him a long time ago about this... I'll refresh myself and maybe revise this post.

This is a good post - sticky worthy.

FIFA 10 - English audio, Korean text/menu
Ninja Gaiden 2 - English/Japanese Audio, English text
Metal Gear Solid 4 - English/Japanese

P.S. Is that GOW3 purchased from Play Asia? That would suck if it was all Korean.

I updated the original post. to Red Devil: God of War 3 off playasia should be cool, a few posters here have order it, yeah? It's just the Korean release you should avoid.

Anybody else got any info about these games or other games to avoid domestically?

No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise. (HD version of 1st game - Korean Version)

English/Japanese voices
Main menus are in English
Subtitles, Tutorial, Item names, and item descriptions are in Japanese.

Hopefully others won't be as confused as I was.
