Coming to the US? Great. Coming for the 360? I'd be able to see it at a friend's house... which yeah would'nt be too conducive to playing it. However, said friend is a film buff and might also enjoy the classical music, though the plot may or may not put him off. Well, I can see if he'd be interested in inspecting it with me when it comes down the wire. Amendment to the last mail: I should reread the post about the topic and not just comment on the topic.

As for the plot, it's definitely an odd plot, and perhaps ultimately bittersweet if his death is coming eventually anyway. At least, it's an experimental plot with nice art and nice music, which sounds like the avant garde of another type of consumable media: film. Let's see how it works for this type of consumable media. Actually, is it even coming here? I'd be intrigued by the actual chance to inspect this without needing to go out of my way (literally) to do so.

(The only other piece I'm nearly certain will show up is the Nocturne Op.9 No.2 in E-flat major. Other than that there are a bundle which might show up but might not. But who knows, perhaps they'll go for some of the more obscure mazurkas, or the Tarantella, or my own favourite little performed Chopin pieces, the Rondo a la Krakowiak Op.14, Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise Brillante Op.22, or Bolero Op.19 (not to be confused with Ravel's Bolero under any circumstances).) The overall concept of the game makes my head hurt, to be honest, but that's my own foray into the field of purism, I suppose. The classical music snob hath spoken, and will now do everyone a favour by shutting up. :P As a long term Chopin fan (I own at least one recording of nearly every piece he published during his lifetime, and am keeping my eyes open for recordings of the few missing pieces), I’m mostly curious to see which pieces are included in the soundtrack - the only one I’ve been able to dig up is, unsurprisingly (to me anyway), the Etude Op.10 No.3 in E major, generally reckoned to be one of his most emotionally potent early works but apparently not performed exceptionally well in the game.
