Yeah, it's ntsc... will it play on an american console without freeloader or modchip, no.
I'm thinking that is a Japanese copy of the game. I don't think its been released over here. He may be wrong about it being NTSC, but who knows?

Well, both US/Canada and Japan/Asia are NTSC regions; this is why importers don't have problems displaying import games on their television.
PAL (Europe, perhaps elsewhere) is a wholly different video format; some of them will play easily on NTSC television sets (EU DC Shenmue II, for instance); others won't work for shit (I tried importing a GC PAL game, and the video was black and white, and rolled upscreen - think those old cable adult shows you watched the scrambled versions of).
So, to answer your question, yes, it is NTSC. No, it won't work on a US console without a freeloader, though.
myke.
...get it; shooters don't have much text in the game anyway.

Exactly. I don't understand how easily people get region coding and PAL and NTSC mixed up...
