Yeah it would boost sales if the population of canterbury wasn't a paltry 1,500.

Yeah more like 10000 Nintendo Kiddy you idiot, I actually live there, and I've seen this just shuggred it off as advertisement gone bad.

LMAO! If they did a good enough of a job putting all the right stuff in all the right places, this would bring "immersion" to the next level.
"Hey, they painted the swingset in my backyard the wrong shade of blue."
Those stickers are brilliant. I'd buy the game if I was a Canterburian.

Yikes... Imagine playing a game like this and stumbling across the smoldering remains of your own house, walking inside, and finding a charred corpse sitting in front of the computer/console with gamepad in hand...
And strangely enough, the corpse is wearing that shirt you just bought today...

My town is featured in Fallout 2. Pretty cool, I guess.

I'm from New Jersey and my areas first representation will be in the upcoming "The Sopranos" game. Hopefully, I'll have the opportunity to whack people on the highways!

I live in urban Kentucky and, believe me, people fully expect the war on terror to drop down in Louisville at any moment. I almost wish this fair city was featured in a game such as this. Or any American city for that matter. Maybe then our leaders could live their boyhood fantasies in virtual countries instead of acting them out in real ones with real people.

@Kiddy - where'd you get that number from? A quick googling gets me 35,000 (http://www.10best.com/Canterbury/locationDetails.html). Think before you speak, huh?
On the game - every time an FPS comes out with good level editing software, I always get requests to model up a level of some nearby area. I don't think it's a "let's practice our terrorist skills" as it is a "cool, I know this place!"

To # 16, Icupnimpn2:
Just the name in the link had me laughing for ten or fifteen seconds, thank you. I somehow doubt the actual content can top that, but I"'ll follow the link and give it a shot.
