You get to stomp on reasonably realistic re-creations of San Francisco, Seattle, London and, of course, Tokyo and pick up structures like the Space Needle and hurl them at your opponent.

His last public appearance was at a Tokyo press conference this January, held to announce his movie's imminent arrival in theaters around Asia. Instead, a swarm of journalists sprayed him with questions about the Unitrust bank and the police investigation. Wearing a diaphanous black shirt that showed off his physique, Ogami denied any wrongdoing. With the box office receipts from his surefire blockbuster, he insisted, "I'll pay the money back." The film has yet to be screened...
