Damn! I'm all for a Disaster Report sequel but PLEASE bring it to the US! Next to Firefighter F.D. 18, this is my favorite PS2 game. It'd be great if they made some crazy special controller for it too, like the Hori Jaws Of Life or Jack Hammer.

If this doesn't come to the U.S. I'm going to have to mod my PS2. @_@
Disaster Report is one of the more underrated games for the PS2. The EB Games near me has brand new copies for $4.99 so if anybody hasn't played it yet get out and buy it already!

Yeah this game is awesome. It's short (I think I beat it in 10 hours) but I highly recommend it anyway. I was hooked instantly.

i couldn't finish it. i was too much in love to see it end.
seriously, the water system alone reinvented realistic survival...horror(?). you never see jill searching for uninfected water in the ruins of the city, especially when she's sweating all day blowing apart zombies.

Yeah, get it. Especially if you are into original and unique games. I had a total blast playing Disaster Report and think it's one of the most underrated PS2 games. Sure, it doesn't take long to beat (at least for me it didn't) but there is tons of hidden stuff to find and multiple story lines/endings to explore. Graphics are great too. My favorite part of the game was when you are trying to escape from inside of a dome stadium. Great stuff. Now I think I'll have to play thru this game again this weekend.

I thought it was actually scarier than a "traditional" survival horror because you just have no idea when an earthquake would hit. The best part is when it does hit, quickly run for cover and look behind you and watch everything come crashing down. @_@
The only drawbacks are a sucky camera and some slowdown in parts, but other than that, definitely worth the $14.99 (why my store has it for $4.99 I don't know, maybe it's a typo).

I swear, from the thread title, I thought the Disaster Report sequel was going to be titled "Hot Balls!" LOL I was honest-to-God wondering:
"With a title like that, the disaster will probably be meteors crashing to the ground around you or something."
I'm an ass. x_x
