So... lately I've been playing Siren (or Forbidden Siren). So far, I love it, in a "damn I want to kick this game so hard for that one obtuse mission" kinda way.

So I've heard the sequel was released in Japan and Europe, but never the USA.

I'm going to assume the Japanese version has no option for English (and besides, I love the British accents in the first game), so assuming I want to play this in English, what kind of commitment am I looking at? How big of a headache will the PAL video format be? Is there any way I'd still be able to record footage with my DVD Recorder?

Thanks in advance.
