Red Star (PS2)

[Space Cadet]

Hey everyone,


Heard good things about Red Star. I'm finding different versions on ebay though. I know that Acclaim was originally developing it but then it was passed to a different developer. One of these covers has Acclaim on the artwork and another has the other publisher. Can anybody tell me the difference?

Thanks.

I can see that one of them is PAL but I can't tell the difference between the other two other than the artwork.

Those all must be early mockup covers, and all US ones as they have ESRB rating graphics on them. It was being developed under Acclaim, but due to issues they didn't put it out. The RP (ratings pending) is definitely an early concept since it isn't rated at that point. The last "XS" one is nearly correct, but the final released US rating was T, that graphic is too small, and it is missing the "NTSC U/C" graphic in the upper right. It is likely because ebay sellers are just googling and using whatever picture they find instead of taking their own pictures, or the system in ebay has some old wrong stock images and since it was a limited release game as opposed to a million seller, nobody cares enough to correct it.

One of the best action games I've ever played, it's a very polished product and incredibly well designed. The music rocks too
