Infection Version Differences
Title
The Japanese title of this volume is 感染拡大, the Hepburn romanization of which is Kansen Kakudai, lit. "Infection Expansion" or "Spread of Infection," using language evocative of both computer viruses and infectious diseases found in nature.
The US and PAL title is the word INFECTION, stylized in all caps. Unlike the Japanese and Korean release, which uses "Vol. 1" (i.e.,"Volume 1") to delineate the order of the games, the US and PAL releases use the word "Part 1."
The Korean title of this volume is 감염확대, the Romanization of which is Gamyeom Hwakdae, lit. "Infection Expansion," from the Sino-Korean words 感 (“feel”) + 染 (“infect”) and 擴大 (“expansion”).

The PAL version starts with a language select screen and Loading screen after choosing a language, before opening the Main Menu. The language selection determines the subtitle and written language. The game starts with English audio by default and cannot be changed to Japanese audio until it is unlocked when the game is beaten. Once unlocked, players can continue onto MUTATION and the other games with Japanese audio. All other versions of the game (Japanese, US/CAN, Korea) have audio and subtitle options under the "Options" menu.
