Manufacturer's Description
Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception brings the intense combat action to your PSP, as you fight for control of the skies. The Federal Republic of Auerila is at war with it's neighbour, the Democratic Republic of Leasath. Auerila was said to have exploited Leasath during a civil war. You are the leader of Gryphus Squadron, of the Aurelian Air Force -- which means you don't care about the politics behind the war. You're a fighter pilot with a job to do, so get in the cockpit and get ready for action.

Customer Reviews

Finally this game is on the PSP.
Being a huge fan of the Ace Combat series on the PS2 I bought this game with hopes that it would, atleast recreate the feeling the PS2 games gave me.
The game is based in the same universe as Ace Combat5, two nations at war etc . etc.
First of all, the game looks great, the planes look beautiful, as most action takes place high up the ground detail is very low, but the only time you will see the ground close-up is when your plane is falling from the sky in flames.
The controls work well, however, I found the analog stick to be quite irritating but one gets used to the controls.
For those wishing to use the D-Pad the option is there to switch, making this game suitable for all players I guess.
The story is very well put together, as with any Ace Combat game the voice-over lacks quality but the story flows well and keeps one interested in playing it through to the end.
The game is good for those wishing some arcade fun, the missions are sometimes quite long but that shouldn't deter any PSP owner for trying this game out.

Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception
Unlike others who have played other titles from the Ace Combat series, I didn't really have any expectations, but I did want a good flying game for my PSP. It was either this one or Pilot Accademy (the only two flying games currently out on PSP), and I chose this one because it was more realistic and less arcade.
The story line isn't quite fab, but the flying is lots of fun. Although the missions are hard to start off with, even on the easy setting, you may find yourself in a too-late-to-correct nose dive.
You get used to the controls and the general physics laws of flying quite quickly.
The AI is very good in this game. Your targets know when they're under threat and respond as any jet-fighter would.
Some missions are quite challenging, especially as you're usually under a time limit. So finding targets that don't appear on your radar can be quite difficult.

All in all, their are many planes to unlock, many weapons and upgrades to unlock, good and sometimes lenghty missions, and good visual.

Maverick & Goose would be Proud of this
ACE COMBAT X. An awesome game thats all there is too it. The PSP is putting together something excellent games now, after people doubting it, this handeld is really starting to shine. ACE COMBAT has you flying a various amount of fighters, some of modern day standards and a few that wouldnt look out of place in a sci-fi television show. The planes fly well. You should get this game if you like previous ACE COMBAT GAMES.
