That looks cool, but according to Wikipedia it's based on a book turned anime and the game's going to be released along with the film version, so I'd be cautious as it may be a poor movie game. If it come to North America, I'd definetly consider checking it out because I want a good airplane fighter.JAB991

Ah, I missed that part. That definitely makes me a bit more hesitant.

I really don't see how it being based on a novel (actually a series of five novels) that is having an anime adaptation (by none else than Mamoru oshii and production I.G.) would label it as a potentially bad game.

On the contrary it testifies quite well on the potential quality of the story and the setting behind the game. The wii would definately need many more story-driven grown-up games like this and No More heroes instead of the tidal wave of shovelware and mario-clones it normally gets.

Too bad that most games that could appeal to an older audience aren't even published in the west, that's what I'm most worried about. It definately would be a pity to miss this one.
