5EXCELLENT  Aug 10, 2008
I loved this game! The storyline was great and the planes and levels were beautifully simulated. I've never been a one for level games - I prefer sports games - but this tops them all. I recommend this to anyone.

5Love it  Jun 22, 2008
I love this game, I get into it soooo much I forget to go to bed.

5Open Season on Bogeys!  Jun 22, 2008
I have always enjoyed this type of game and I think Namco has outdone themselves once again.

The graphics - Outstanding!!!

The controls - Simple, yet effective.

The storyline - Excellent.

The selection of aircraft/weapons - This has been degraded from Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies... Now each aircraft can only carry one special weapons, I find in particular that the SFFS bomb (Self-forging fragmentation bomb) is ineffective against most targets. Some aircraft don't carry enough weapons to get the job done and some lack maneuverability. Also, planes like the A-10 and F-117 can go faster than they should. For example, according to Jane's Military Jets the A-10 is only capable of no more than 500 knots... I've taken it above mach 1 on some occasions. Also, the F-117 Nighthawk is pretty much useless. It has a very limited payload, lacks maneuverability and the mission timers don't allow for a slow and low approach. Also I've seen the A.I using it as a fighter in several missions, I understand that the actual F-117 carries neither missiles nor machine guns, it's a sneaky bomber through and through.

The only negative thing about this game is that each and every mission has a timer, once that timer runs out (if you haven't met the score requirements) the game ends. Often I'll go through a mission and check my stats, then I end up feeling like I could have done better if I'd had more time.

The things I would do to improve this game are to extend or remove the timers for one, bring back the return-to-base line on the edge of the map but allow the player to actually fly to base and land/refuel/takeoff. I'd do the same for the refueling checkpoints (where you have to dock with a tanker) remove the timers, make the maneuvering process a little more realistic. The missions that let you land afterward are less than desirable too, you have to go in at 200+ knots and pretty much slam on the deck and come to a screeching halt in order to get a perfect score.

All things considered, I would say that this is an Excellent game and would easily recommend it (as well as the others in the Ace Combat/Air Combat series). I've played a lot of games from this genre, and from many different companies. I find that Namco's products blow the others clean out of the water every time!

5BEST jet sim ive ever played ... but  Jun 20, 2008
this is the greatest jet flight sim ive ever played .. better than ace combat 4. its feel is so realistic! i feel lik i need a joy stick, peddles, and throttle instead of a plastic controller just to keep in the action. the sounds of the dogfight are INCREDILBY REALISTIC!!!!!
and the jets are insane too. the miniguns actually sound like miniguns! (humming), not sounding like fully automatic .22s like some other flight sims.

BUT~

my only comlaint is that the charachters, wingmen and wingwoman (whyever) in the story are VERY unrealistic and INSANLY annoying....... in the middle of a blood boiling, heart wrenching, neck breaking, controller crushing, edge-of-your-seat dogfight their talking to eachother like their at a party or a rave. they ask retarded questions about stupid crap at 12,000ft at 700mph upsideown firing A-A missiles at enemies.
it feels like im watching a crapy jap anime sob story whilst i incinerate hundreds of enemy fighters and ships.

i just turn off the TV speakers and crank up iTunes..
but i do miss the background sounds as a resault these horrible charachters...

as of the mail service, getting it to my house ... incredible.
and i spent under 20$!!!! ..and in under 4 days from the other side of the COUNTRY!!!
as soon as i put in the order it was off to NC!! unlike some other mail order services puttin it off till next week!
as a resault! im a costomer for life... or untill my internet is cut off again.

5Great game for figther jet lovers!  Feb 26, 2008
At first I got worried, becouse the training part is really easy so I wasn't expecting much of the game, but as I started doing the missions it really got me interested and now I can't wait to get home and play it. Great graphics, you really feel like you're in the jet seat.
Excelent game.
