Welcome to Modojo, 
BOOTY.

Lately, I've been playing Ace Combat 5 on a complete whim because my fascination with fighter planes has reared its aerodynamic head again. My goal for this playthrough is to buy a complete set of four Falken fighters, which is a ridiculously inane and sisyphean task, but that's precisely the reason why I'm doing it.
Is anybody else out there pumped about Ace Combat Zero? Plotwise, it's the prequel for AC5, which was a huge disappointment in terms of story, but oh well. Very few games can surpass the brilliance of Ace Combat 04, so nearly everything will pale in comparison in some way or another.
The latest screens indicate that NAMCO is tappin' the HELL out of the PS2's graphical potential, though. You hear me? TAPPIN' IT. LIKE SOME BOOTY.
Now, if they only manage to get rid of the lousy characterization and overt tones of hypocritical pacifism, then they'll have an unbeatable game on their hands next February.
