Not every, but was released in every country but AUS and NZ and another one...
I don't see why it wasn't released here though and I was really looking forward to it.

Your going to hate me for saying this, but I can't see how a game dedicated to the Tour De France could be so fun.
What exactly do you do in a game like this?

I'm a bit disappointed it wasn't released here. From the trial, it's actually pretty decent, very tactical.
Might have to get some US points methinks.

That video is a small amount of 'gameplay'. Seems like all you do is manage how hard your team go at it i guess. Don't even get to use a bike.

It's a cycling manager, so you manage your team. Organise who and when they attack. And whether or not they want to just sit in the pelaton or go out and try to break away.
I admit it won't be for everyone and you'll probably only enjoy it if you like cycling.
But I just can't see why we were excluded from the countries who are recieving it.
None the less I'm going to get it on my US account, but stil...

it sucks that we didnt get included
im also disappointed its a management game - i remember on the a tour de france game came out on the PS2 (by konami?) but i never got round to getting it - would have been a definite purchase for me if riding was involved.

That's what the games about, that shot is taken from an early build though, the retail version will also alow you to dabble with steroids, artificial growth hormones and EPO.Just like being there!
