The PS2 version is PAL - it will not play outisde of PAL territories. You need an NTSC version for USA.

How will this work on the psp, can you really control up to 20 squads at the same time?(just had to ask, sounds pretty heavy for a psp system.)
Anyhow this will be an exiting game, can't wait to get my hands on this.

Are the battles different from Legion Arena(I mean battle sites) ?
Can man play other then Roman armies?Like Germanic campaign-surely rich on conflicts with Romans?

[IainMcNeil]

It is the same basic scenarios from Legion Arena, though there are some tweaks for play balance.

[heroes99]

will this work on a USA psp??????

[IainMcNeil]

Yes it should be fine as far as we know.

[keyper159]

is this game available in the USA on PSP?????
because I'm still looking for it

[IainMcNeil]

No, unfortunately Sony decided they didn't want the game to release in the USA. Once they decide that there is nothing we can do about it. The only way to get the game in the US is to order from our site and we'll export it to you.
