I'm hoping that the combos for OOO are not timed like in the first game. Everything about this one looks so freakin' cool! Can't wait to drop a ton of money. I may have to make a Japanese PSN just for the DLCs.

So tempted to preorder this game, it looks like a blast and as a fan of Kamen Rider and movies alike, for them to do a game with a film styled villain, I love it.

Though questions for anyone who could answer theme for me:

1) This game isn't region locked right?
2) From the first game, how hard was it to navigate menus

1: The PS3 isn't region locked so for those of us importing that's the way to go.
2: Not very, everything is in english and it's pretty straight forward.

I really dug the first one, but seeing all the improvements in the sequel...gonna be another long wait for a package from Japan I think hahahaha.

@above: It was fairly easy to navigate the menus, certainly enough to play the game and most of the really relevant stuff was in english. It was harder getting used to O being accept rather than X than anything else. That said, a lot of things that would be nice to know are all in Japanese, so you will need a guide to know what the different challenges are for Rider Road or to know what the different action figures you can equip actually do, etc. And of course you'll have more or less no idea what anyone is actually saying or doing when you're playing the game, particularly once you've moved into the story proper rather than unlocking everyone.

And man are the Kamen Rider girls adorable in that video, doing dat Fourze pose. Love it haha.

I was thinking the same thing. :lol

Really? Alright, I am now no longer worried. :D

Yeah the menus are very easy to get through.

Also battridewar.wikia.com has a list for the collectibles.

I still don't have the money for the game. I would love to pre-order it, but I won't have $72 for it when I pre-order it on Play-Asia.

From what I can see, the gameplay is a huge improvement. It looks really fun still, though I wish they put in effort to change the backdrops and maybe improve the graphics.

Overall looks fun. Loved the first Battride War so I'll pick this up.

Words cannot describe how happy I am that they changed how OOO's TaJaDoru combo plays. He was a really fun rider to play as in the first, but that combo was way too difficult and unruly to control.
