You're given the go ahead and you throttle up, screeching down the runway and soaring nearly straight up into the sky. As soon as you clear the cloud cover, you see the enemy directly ahead and you engage. Before you can fire a warning shot across his nose, your computer alerts you to an incoming missile and you instinctively roll to the right, barely missing it. You head straight down to the ground as the enemy gives chase. Pulling up just before hitting the Earth, you begin a cat-and-mouse chase across the ground toward the city. A split-second decision has you quickly dodging a skyscraper before heading back to face the enemy head on. With his plane targeted and your thumb poised over the button, will you turn him into supersonic debris?

Game is not worth buying
I have played all the other Ace Combat games and this game does not deserve the Title of Ace Combat. PROs: I will say that the graphics and audio are really good. CONs:The rest of the game is not worth the disc the game is put on. Flying is hard to control. You cannot do 360 deg roles. There is not a lot of freedom to pick your targets. There is no pre-briefing so you can set up your Aircraft before the mission starts. Feels like you play most of the game on a rail system. If you hit the ground you bounce off of it. The overall story is kind of week. I miss the days of buying your Aircraft and weapons. I also miss the made-up Aircraft. I also miss the canyon and tunnel flights that you had to do. There are no really challenging missions also. This game is just a step up from old school Afterburner or Top Gun. My recommendation is to not buy this game and if you really want to play it rent it so you can bring it back the next day.

Could have been so much better
As someone who loves the Ace Combat series this title is a real letdown. They have removed the ability to communicate with your wingman and allies as well as the ability to land and resupply your weapons. The missions are very long and range from too easy to so difficult that it is frustrating and not much fun. They have added missions where you fly a helicopter or are a gunner but the series is about being a pilot and they should have stuck to what they did best. The game can be beat in about 8-10 hours and there is little reason to play it again. They have also added some splattering blood and cussing so it is not a good choice for the kiddies. On the positive side the graphics are great and you can change the color of your airplane and the color of the missle smoke trail. The online play is funner than the game itself. I recommend you download the demo before you buy it. It is the first and third mission. If you like the demo you will like the game, if not pass on it, or at least wait until you can buy it used. I have a feeling there will be plenty of used ones outh there.

Fun but getting old
A fan of the Ace Combat series, I enjoyed that they added helicopter missions to the game, however, some of the controls are too much. The views could of been better from the aircrafts, and storyline was a little dull. Fun game, and for the price it's one to keep on the shelf.
