Product Description ------------------- Using Datel's advanced proprietary technology, the Action Replay cheat system can unlock even the very toughest games; what's more, the GameCube-sized disc also includes the FreeLoader technology, which lets you play US and Japanese games on your UK GameCube with no mod chip required. The Action Replay consists of a disc containing hundreds of preloaded cheat codes, and a card that must be inserted into your memory card slot before the disc is loaded This special card stores any new codes that you input, letting you build your own customised library of cheats. Action Replay's cheats, which are 100% unofficial--as sed to the ones you read in magazines, which are built in by the games' programmers--offer flexibility and freedom: you may want to unlock everything in a game--infinite , ammo and time, access all levels and vehicles, and much more--or you can activate just the one or two cheats you need to get you that little bit further in the game, turning them off later if desired. New cheats are added regularly to the company's Web site and can also be accessed via a phone hotline. The FreeLoader function is very simple to activate--choose this menu option on-screen and you'll be prompted to replace the Action Replay disc with the import game disc. As long as your television supports NTSC mode (check your TV's instruction manual if you're not sure), then you should be able to play most import games, and at 60 hz (European PAL games run at a slower 50 hz). Important note for customers intending to use the Freeloader software to play games imported from Japan: It's not possible to save both Japanese and UK/US game data on one memory card; if you try to use your existing memory card with Japanese games it will automatically be reformatted. Likewise, if you try to save UK/US game data onto a memory card which contains Japanese game data, the card will be reformatted. Therefore, if you intend to play Japanese games with your Freeloader, you should use separate memory cards for UK/US game data and Japanese game data, making sure you remove the other card from the console before play. If you do not intend to play Japanese games then you should not be affected, as there are no known issues regarding saving US and UK game data onto the same card. .co.uk Review ------------- Do you suck at games? Perhaps you want to play US and Japanese games on your GameCube? If so, Datel's Action Replay can solve both of your problems in one fell swoop. Datel's Action Replay system allows you to cheat your way through any game you want with the minimum of fuss. Just insert the special memory card into your GameCube, stick in the Action Replay disk, and choose from a huge range of pre-loaded cheats. And if what you want isn't pre-loaded you can input new codes from Datel's Web site with just a few button clicks. But Action Replay isn't just of interest if you're rubbish at games. You can also unlock things like hidden characters, weapons and levels--which is great for combating the recent trend that many multi-player games have of leaving half their features locked until you play the single player mode a hundred times. Sometimes you can even unlock features that the developers didn't want you to see, including previously ditched features and graphics. On top of all this underhanded chicanery Action Replay also includes all the functionality of Datel's FreeLoader ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006FRD9/${0} ), which means you can run any GameCube game from any country whether you have a US, Japanese or British console (see Product Description below for important technical info). Never again will you have to wait five months for a game to be released in your locale. All-in-all, this is a great package for anyone that's serious about getting the most from their console. --David Jenkins
