This game is not due in the US for more than a month but the Asian (HK) version is out and can be ordered from play-asia.com and shipped to you for $53.80, less than US's $59.99. You get to play early for less. The game has no region lock and 100% in English.

You can download the demo if you have a JPN account. I thought it was decent though this game relies on quick time events a whole lot.

It really is region free? I was hearing mixed things from some of the xbox database places that the Asian version was still locked.

just for clarification.
the japanese release is region-locked.
the asian release is NOT region-locked.
Any reviews from overseas on this yet?

If you have an eBay account, there are lots of Buy It Now copies of Ninja Blade for about $48-$50 shipped. I'm about to nab a copy from a seller, myself.

hate to bump a semi-dead thread, but this game is quite good. it's definitely worth getting for a bit cheaper instead of waiting for the $60+ US version. fully in english with english/japanese language and subtitles in about 6 languages.
the first stage alone is among the most engaging in any game in recent memory. graphics are great, combat is well done and believe it or not the QTEs actually work... the cinematics they make for are awesome.
and FYI, i thought the demo was painfully average. take it as you will.

Yes. English all over the place.
You can even put it in subtitles if you wanted.
Anyone ordered this from Play-Asia with the regular shipping? I was wondering when I could expect it since its my first time ordering from them (I am in VA so I am assuming it will take a while)

Is that a question? The guy three posts above yours said it's good. You can also look up some videos on Youtube or check here (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Ninja+Blade+Reviews).
