Customer Reviews of Ace Combat 5

replays are amazing
i never write reviews - however, this is an impressive game - <
>using the dualshock controlers i am blown away by how detailed, yet not overly complicated the game is to play - you definitely have to have a passion for aviation and also have some appreciation of the physics behind it to understand where you are, what you are doing, and what to do next in relation to the skies around you and most importantly, who is around you - building and flying model planes has definitely given me an understanding of some basic laws of aerodynamics - <

>if you are completely new to flying, and aviation - do not be deterred by the realism of the game - you will learn very quickly - fun factor is definitely high and a huge bonus as are the replays that are offered at any point in the game, as well as the entire review of the level(if you choose to view it) at the end - the view angles are highly impressive - <

>i have only finished the first four missions and i am looking forward to graduating to a higher performance plane and purchasing the flight stick- did i mention that the sound effects are amazing? - when i engage - i turn on my sony 5.1 theatre - nothing comes closer

Good flight sim, repetitve combat
This is the first Ace Combat game I've played, so I won't be comparing it to any prequels, just judging it on it's own merits. As far as flight simulation goes, it's pretty good. The airplane models are beautifully and accurately rendered, and flight controls are also good. Arcade mode are timed "shoot everything in sight" missions, while campaign mode presents the player with a barely engaging (and often corny) storyline and characters, and missions with plane parts to unlock hidden planes. While there are many different planes to unlock, they are very similiar in performance and unless you're a nut for 100% completion you'll need no more than three. My only complaints are the "missle-lock-and-fire" repetitive simplicity of most of the missions and the near constant in-flight chatter that can get VERY annoying with subtitles that get in the way, creeping over the HUD in some cases. Then there are the inane and pointless questions your wingmen ask you during campaign missions that you're prompted to answer with the D-button, during which your directions to your marginally helpful wingman are disabled. If you like air combat, give this one a try.

AC 5
Overall graphics/story/gameplay were great. If you were a fan of Ace Combat 4, this game is a must buy.
