Yes, another good point, localastion takes time, as does inculding more languages.
Well NTSC can be used on most modern TV's now, but we are still standard PAL, and I don't think it will ever change.
Florida could be nice, but bigger waves in Hawaii, and I want to surf!

I didn't really mean that for the U.K. I'm just saying that some jokes and sayings might have to be changed for the other countries. I wouldn't really know, but they might not have equivalent jokes in France...
I remember hearing that they don't call it German Idol in Germany because it brings back memories of WW2. I think it's called Germany Superstar...
So ya know, some things might have to be changed.

Well there is only a small amount of localastion done between USA and UK, but they have to make sure it fits in with the whole of europe on most cases, not just UK. I don't know a great deal of the process, so you would have to ask publishers.
Ok, enough off topic, back on.
Well when I first played ep2 I was annoyed there was no quests, but then it didn't bother me that much, as the levels just look so lovely, I like fighting in them.
