The game’s US publisher Harmonix will also be publishing the title over here and sees it as a “big chance to establish” itself. Those hoping to get hold of the game should make sure you make a pre-order early as it will be in limited supply because the factory in China can’t produce them quickly enough.

According to Harmonix’s Kelly Sumner the title has been a great success in the states. “I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s like how GTA 3 started. We didn’t do any advertising initially, it was all word of mouth competitions, yet we sold 75 per cent of our inventory in the first weekend. According to NPD we did 39,000 in November, and we can’t get them out there quick enough,” said Sumner.

Speaking to Eurogamer Sumner also revealed that country specific versions and add-ons are planned, which will provide users with track lists more tailored for specific tastes. The initial release will be the same as that released in North America.
