Sad really. LOL

I imagine there is a 'really windy' option?

What? Involving force-feeding the girls baked beans before they take to the course?

Perhaps there's a hidden 'gale force' option?

There's been some reports of a freeze-up in the JP version of the game:

Hope it's nothing too serious and gets fixed anyways! Nice to see that it's SD card compatible!

Damn, that looks lovely...I'm sold

Am I really seeing Oblivion at number 7? How did that happen? I didn't think the japanese were interested in RPG's from the west?

I didn't think they were interested in 360s. And for all our complaining that we never get their games until 12 months later it's taken longer than that for them to get Oblivion.

All that attention to detail and they can't get the skirt to not clip through her cell phone holder. It's like they aren't even trying.

That was what you were pointing out, right?

Yup, much like the hair-cutting-head-off-style-clipping in DOAXBV.
People cant take their eyes of it.

There was "please localize Oblivion" online petition here and it moved a Japanese publisher.

360 users in Japan are basically interested in Western games, no wonder they like Oblivion, too. I myself bought the Japanese version, and playing it again(I did beat the PC version last year). I see many of my friends are playing it right now.

That and it's probably the Game of the Year Edition that's just been released with all the expansion packs rolled in.

Unfortunately it's not the GOTY version. It does include Knights of the Nine, though.
