Defending the invaded country, the player's mission will take them to the battle-filled skies in order to take down the enemy and restore freedom and peace to their homeland.
Rounding out the list of impressive features, Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception will allow players to tune their original aircrafts with parts unlocked in Campaign Mode to further enhance their flying experience.
Portable aerial combat will take flight this Fall 2006 when Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception hits retailers nationwide only on the PSP system. For more screens and inside information check out the NAMCO BANDAI Games official site at www.namcobandaigames.com.
