Macross Ace Frontier is truly amazing. It is probably the greatest macross game I have ever played. It's the first I have ever played that really captures the original TV series. Too bad it will never come over here. I haven't bought a US psp game in a long time.

I'm really hoping that this is going to get an English language version. It would certainly be one of the few PSP games I'd buy!
There aren't enough mature-age PSP games that aren't your run of the mill FPS.
