Is there any way of knowing which games bought in Korea will have an option of using the game in English?...before I buy the game.

Is there a list on any websites?

If the game has "한글반" written on it, the menus (at least) will be Korean.

In another not so professional way, if the game box is really heavy, this indicates there is a massive instruction booklet inside for Korean users; all of the in-game stuff is in English, so it needs thorough explanation. Laughing

In addition, there are a few games that don't get released in Korea, so they only have the import copy from the US. These are pretty easy to spot as they have absolutely no Korean on the packaging at all. Very very few games, though.

My experience has been that alot of games they sell at Yongsan are English versions verus those games you buy from a Korean electronics tends to be mostly Korean versions. I suggest you go to Yongsan and specifically ask them if they have US versions. They should have a decent selection.
