My UK boxed copy from Clearance Games via Amazon.co.uk. Don't know what this 4th May business is all about.

Well as soon as you get your copy would you mind to give us your first impressions after you've played it for a couple of hours?

Thx

thats an odd one....

I'm registered at amazon.co.uk and i cant see any release date preview, all it sais is that the game is unavailable.

Care to explain it better Hertston?

Hiya

I can only assume very small stocks have run out. I registered to get the e-mail notification that the game was available months ago, got the email on Tuesday and ordered the game that evening. I assume a few others did the same.

The preferred seller, 'Express Games' was shown as having only two copies, but as they were charging rather more than the only other seller (£17.99 plus an extortionate £4.99 shipping) I went with the latter, 'Clearance Games' (£17.71 including shipping). They emailed me to say it shipped yesterday; I should get it tomorrow, hopefully.

I'm a little worried now that it will turn out to be some imported Far East English 'version' rather than a UK copy. I got caught out like that with Fantasy Wars, there's nothing inherently wrong with a legitimate Far East English language version except that, because of the different DRM and such, nobody ever seems to bother patching them.

I'll keep y'all posted.

Hehe... no, maybe that's a risk with ebay, but not generally amazon.

Anyway, it's here, and seems to be the legit UK distribution version (Crioland). Installing as I type. Let's hope I don't end up wishing I had got a nice DVD filled with Bulgarian porn instead!
