«©NCSX» In the 1999 movie, Pushing Tin, Billy Bob Thornton and John Cusack played dueling air traffic controllers. Cusack's Nick Falzone fueled conflict against Thornton's half-Choctaw character Russell Bell. Despite their battles and bouts of inner turmoil, both had the ability to visualize 3D airspace and guide streams of planes to and fro without having them crash into each other.
Publisher Sonic Powered's Airport Hero Haneda is sort of like Pushing Tin except the scope of your responsibilities go far beyond what the two movie cowboys had control over. In addition to keeping a watchful eye on all of the air traffic around Haneda Airport in Tokyo, players also direct planes to start their descent, prepare to land, taxi to a runway, depart, and maintain speed/altitude. Due to the critical decisions that are heaped upon the player's shoulders, one must keep track of all the planes and spatial dimensions around the airport to avoid any dangerous situations that might lead to disastrous consequences. As planes approach and depart from the airport, one has to issue timely commands through a simple menu system to ensure smooth and safe traffic patterns.
Publisher Sonic Powered has been keeping tabs on the construction at Haneda Airport and the game features the third terminal for international traffic and D-Runway which expands the airport's capacity by 40%.
