Not for us PALies anyway. So yeah, let's just hope Atari fuck up with the NTSC release and make it region-free ... though I strongly doubt they will, given the clout Sony has. If Sony have a stranglehold on the PAL territories (stranglehold, sorry, wrong word.. I meant "timed exclusive", naturally Rolling Eyes) then you can bet your arse they're going to FORCE Atari to region lock the game.

Fuck you up your stupid fucking ass, Phony.

If I'm not mistaken, Riddick Dark Athena was published by Atari. And that game WAS region-locked. Probably the same thing here Sad

IGN Ratings for Ghostbusters: The Video Game (X360)

7.5 Presentation
The game plays like the third movie in the way it opens and is presented to fans, but some scenes need work. There are moments that don't fit here and there, but overall, it's sweet.

7.5 Graphics
The proton streams look great, the ghosts are detailed, and the CG cutscenes rock; but the in-game cutscenes are rough, there's screen-tearing and some aliasing issues.

8.0 Sound
The voices make the experience, but I wish Murray didn't sound like he was doing an impression of Venkman. The original music is nice, but it's used a bit too much.

8.0 Gameplay
Who doesn't love tearing apart ballrooms and libraries with a Proton Pack? The Meson Collider's worthless, but it's fun to wrangle ghosts into traps.

8.0 Lasting Appeal
A playthrough should take about eight hours, however, there are hidden artifacts to go back for and the multiplayer is actually a lot of fun for ghostheads.

8.0
Impressive OVERALL

(out of 10 / not an average)

Unfortunately that seems to be the norm for action games these days Sad

Funny feeling its going to be region locked if they are doing the ps3 exclusive in Europe

I suspect you're right but no idea on the contract between sony and developer. Sony have distrubution rights on all platforms across Europe so there may be a high chance they are purely doing a PS3 exclusive due to them having sole distrubution rather than some fancy contract. Even when the xbox version comes out, its Sony distrubuting it then (I think)

If this NTSC release is RF then it would me a massive FAIL from Sony.
No point making it exclusive when people can just order it from Canada or USA.
Last game released by ATARI was Riddick, and that one was region locked.

But, we can always hope. Smile Smile

No it wouldn't.
Sony didn't pick up a timed exclusive as such. There was no timed deal between Atari and Sony. Atari wanted to delay European launch (on all platforms) due to distrubution issues (amongst other things). What with it being the 25th Anniversity of Ghostbusters, Sony didn't want this to happen therefore picked up all PAL distrubution rights. This is because, or partly, Sony are pumping money into Bluray editions of the film, toys, etc and therefore a lack of game in PAL territories would be an arse.

For those really interested in the whole thing, there was an article posted on GBFans which is as follows...
