Well I'm in the Pal territory and I just bought the game, ntsc-version though. I'm also about 4h in and I'm sorry to say, but I'm not feeling it. So far it's VERY slow paced and quite easy the "voice acting" is horrible and the overal experience is not drawing me in, it's almost two weeks since I last touched it and I'm not sure whether I'm able to continue... God of War 2 coming in next week so it'll postpone this into unseen future.
