Region free (not sure about Japan) and Kinect only it seems 
 
The first steel battalion was available on the original xbox and came with a massive custom controller ( http://www.toplessrobot.com/assets_c/2011/10/sb-thumb-640x480.jpg ) as did the xbox sequel but this seems to have opted for the kinect instead (although with the controller doing detail work). The general idea is you control a ~~giant robot~~ vertical tank and do what running around in one usually entails. There have been many attempts at such games and outside arcades they have not really succeeded in capturing the idea with the original steel battalion being one of the closest. Kinect has people uneasy but it could quite easily come the other way and be just like in your favourite animes.... 
 
Amazon words 
Taking full advantage of the Kinect Sensor for Xbox 360*, Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor is an Xbox 360 exclusive First-Person Action game like no other. Using the Kinect Sensor players engage in mech style gameplay that promises to deliver a uniquely immersive experience and an evolution in warfare gaming. Features include a futuristic, yet low-tech military campaign dominated by hulking vertical tanks (VT), tank customization, the necessity of getting to know and protecting AI squadmates, and online multiplayer support via Xbox LIVE. 
 
Story 
 
Set in 2082, Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor depicts a world devoid of semiconductors, where war is waged with rudimentary weapons as new superpowers struggle for dominance. In a twist of fate, the U.S. army has been forced to begin major landing operations on what was once its own soil. In this low-tech era, there is one weapon class that will determine the course of the war – the Vertical Tank (VT). Playing as pilot Lt. Powers, players control one such VT as he embarks on a mission that will see the action shift from North America to battlefields and war-torn streets across the globe.
Unprecedented Control 
 
Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor delivers an unprecedented level of control and interaction. VT movement, aiming and firing of the main guns are undertaken using the Xbox 360 controller. A wide variety of other combat-crucial actions are done through Kinect for Xbox 360 with upper body gestures - from starting the engine, to operating the scope or manning the turret-mounted machine gun. Kinect for Xbox 360 also provides a means of interacting with your fellow crew members. These range from ensuring a panicked crew member stays focused, to a high five for successfully completing a mission. 
Online Co-op Play
 
Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor introduces a brand new four player online co-op mode via Xbox LIVE. Work together with your friends on a variety of maps to destroy a set amount of enemies and unlock new items to customize your VT with. In addition to this, you can unlock Xbox achievements by playing Score Attack mode where you and your friends will be rated based on performance.
