Six Days in Fallujah Announced
Bringing the Iraq war into your home, Konami has announced Six Days in Fallujah, a third-person shooter being developed by Atomic Games.
The game is being billed as a realistic take on the United States’ attack on the Iraqi city, told over a period of six days.
"We mean six days literally," said Atomic Games president Peter Tamte to the Wall Street Journal. "We track several units through the process and you get to know what it was like from day to day."
Apparently, a lot of research was conducted for the game, alongside consulting more than three dozen US soldiers who fought in the war. It is being tailored around the experiences of the soldiers, though the developers aren’t aiming for “social commentary,” according to Konami marketing VP Anthony Crouts.
"We’re not pro-war. We’re not trying to make people feel uncomfortable. We just want to bring a compelling entertainment experience. At the end of the day, it’s just a game."
You’ll be spending six days in Fallujah sometime in 2010.
