What!!

No 480p was almost a deal breaker but 50hz and borders!? Yeah, you can forget about me buying Mad World anytime soon soon. That's inexcusable.

Oh... My... God, that sucks. I'm getting flashbacks to Final Fantasy X PAL version here. I thought we had got past this sort-of shitty PAL conversion nowadays.

Looks like i won't be buying Madworld anymore (I won't even Import the US version).

the pal conversion is shit, but dont be silly and not buy the game because of it, its fantastic fun and everyone should buy it

Well yeah because since we're comparing countries. :lol

Sorry but this reminds me of people who make threads like "Who makes the better games Japan or the West?" or "What's better PC Gaming or Console Gaming?".



Yeah I realize that which is why I'm not as surprised as I made myself to be but man this just shows how much the markets outside of the US and Japan have grown. Wasn't the game at least on the top 10 in previous said years?

It's not about the size but about the taste. Europeans aren't into Madden but are into soccer, reverse it for the US.

One country, 40% of the market, we win.

Europe is obviously bigger than the numbers provided, but that covers the countries listed.

Huge increase in Canada, but the penetration is still too low.
