Everyone wants to blow up . . .

. . . their hometown.

Or so it would seem.

Working on Ace Combat Assault Horizon, the team was extremely cautious about attacks in "real" cities. In the most obvious example, action in New York was completely ruled out because of sensitivity to 9/11.

But now that the game is out and popular, there are posters in the Tokyo subways celebrating . . . the online version where you can protect Tokyo . . . or blow it up.

And everyone wants one.

While we're on the subject, here's a page with the crew that recorded the jet, helicopter, et al sounds, and some of the great American servicepeople who helped. (The words are Japanese, but the pictures are cool. The words say pretty much what you'd expect them to.) http://ah.acecombat.jp/usa_report/

I am kind of wondering what they thought of the B-29, but I haven't had a chance to ask.
