Customer Reviews

Flop Gun!!
Ok I can cope with the cheesy storyline and the endless cheesy Rock music!!

However what puts all the nails in the coffin is you can only do 90 degree turns. Which leaves you with a very arcade like experience. Haven't tried it on-line but then what's the point. Bank left, Bank right shoot, repeat.. yawn. The explosions when you shoot something down as well are pretty poor graphically too. To cap it all after each mission you get to watch a replay if you like from a number of angles. This would be good if you could actually do something interesting with your plane. You might as well be in a 747!!

Not an arcade game
People who bought this expecting an ace combat alternative are going to be disappointed, because in this game you won't be firing missiles ten at a time shooting hundreds of targets, this is more of a simulation type game where if your in the wrong place at the wrong time your going to get shot down alot.
I agree with others that the planes could be less sluggish and the enemy should enter the battle field naturally rather than popping into existence unexpectedly, But the cockpits and planes are very nicely done, and evading an attack or making a carrier landing is more satisfying for it's increased difficulty, if you want a shooter get ace combat6 but if you want some realism get this.

Its not easy!
This game is class, once u set it on hard (cuz easy's ridiculus) and figure out how to dodge a missile (not luck based, there are moves that work 100% of the time) and ignore the story line (its boardering non existant). its a simulation of military fighters n that, the realism is top notch and if u can find a multiplayer game with ppl in it, ppl who are better than the NPC opponents, ur in for a great time.
Its a love it/hate it game that most people with the patience to learn to 'fly' love, the ppl bad mouthing it probably didnt give it more than a week.
get it so i can shoot u down >D !
