Ace Combat 04

Its a cool game and all. Very realistic. The only problem is that it does not tell you your heading is. It also does not tell you the altitude of other aircraft on the radar. That would make it much much cooler. The cockpit view is nit all that great. I personally like the aircraft view and the targeting view. Other than these problems this game is awsome. The levels are awsome as well as the aircraft.

Very cool!

This game is so much fun! I highly recommend it. It doesn't take too long to complete. It only took me about 2 weekends off and on to finish. Unlocking the different planes and color schemes is way cool. But be sure to pick the right plane for the right mission. I remember trying some missions and they were tough until I picked the right plane with the right weapons. I recommend getting an online walkthrough in order to purchase the best planes for each mission in the first run through. You can always buy the other planes later. So if you enjoy flying games and war games, then you will love this because you get both in one. Have fun!

Solid Game

Ace Combat 4 is a solid combat flight game, even if it is somewhat unrealistic. The physics seem good and the missions get progressively harder at a good rate. If you like flight sims, get this game.

You know, out of all the games I've played, I have to say Ace Combat 4 ranks rather high on my favorites list. Sequals since have come and gone with improved wingman and graphics, but none have matched the emotionally gripping story, unforgettable soundtrack, and the most epic and dramatic climactic battle sequence.

Everything in that game, from first flight to the most memorable final battle I've ever seen, is pure heaven. Every victory, every radio call, every element inside the missions contributes the buildup to the final battle. And the story told from a small boy's point of view makes you truely feel like you're making a difference in the war, and gives you insight into your arch-rival. A man whom is not evil, but who is simply a soldier on the other side of politics.

Even during the epic last battle as two wings of ace pilots clash amid a meteor storm, you hear dramatic radio calls back and forth as pilots get shot down and the battle progresses both in the air and on Megalith, the formidable ground installation.

Games have had more involving stories, longer gameplay, and better graphics, but none have had such a perfect blend of action, drama, fun, and such colorful soundtrack to go along with it all.

Ace Combat 4 is not simply a flight sim, it is an interactive masterpiece brought to you in a way that only an arcade flight sim can deliver. It is a game that takes you in and makes you want to go back and do it over and over again. Years and years after its original release and a full generation of consoles ago, I give Ace Combat 4 a full double 5-star rating.

Graphics: 5 - for that time period of games, these were excellent graphics. And really, the imperfections can be easily overlooked since you'll be spending a lot of time focusing on the enemy and avoiding hitting the ground.

Music - 5 - Good enough that I bought the soundtrack and still listen to it almost daily. The music meshes extremely well with the missions themselves, and there's a good lot of variety in the tracks. This isn't a game where you have a dozen remixes of one song, like Halo. Nor will you be tuning it out while you play. It gets your adrenaline going while never distracting you from your objective or overpowering the radio calls which contribute a lot to the gameplay.

Controls - 5 - Dual-analog controls work well, the planes respond well and smoothly to your imputs. Within minutes the entire layout becomes instinct. Very easy to use.

Story - 5 - Although the use of storyboards instead of true movie sequences brought on a lot of flak from other players, it was an interesting move and the pictures were very well done and the director used some other rather interesting elements to tell the story.

Playability - 5 - I've never encountered a glitch in all my times playing through the game. And there are plenty of difficulty levels for all players. Beating the original "hard" difficulty opens up another, harder difficulty level for real aces to try.

Replay - 5 - It's 2007 and I just played the game all the way through for the 18th time. Enough said.

User-friendly Combat Flight Sim on a PS2!

Ace Combat 4 raised the standard of excellence in this category nearly 3 years ago and yet is still the best military aviation experience on PS2. Great arsenal of planes, rendered in true detail, including: the F117 Nighthawk, F22 Raptor, F15E Strike Eagle, F14D Tomcat, Tornado GR4, JAS39 Gripen, F16 Falcon, F/A18C Hornet, MiG29 Fulcrum, Su27 Flanker, the Rafalle, EF2000 Typhoon, S37 and X02 ATFs, and more! Fly your own air force of a wide selection of combat aircraft in awesome VR photo-realistic environments with virtually no boundaries. Master the skill of landing on a Navy aircraft carrier at sea or an Air Force runway stationed in different parts of the world. You'll have the option of flying armed to the teeth with cluster bombs, laser-guided Paveways, GPS-guided munitions, long-range anti-ship missiles like the Harpoon or Excocet, anti-tank Mavericks or Kormorans, as well as top of the line air-to-air missiles like the long-range Phoenix, the Advanced Medium Range AIM120, the vectored thrust AIM9X Sidewinder II or Archer III. Fly your own unique strategy like sneaking up below radar in your F/A-18 Hornet armed with long-range Harpoon anti-ship missles flying at low altitude on powerful Aegis-class ships before they could fire SAMs at you. Watch your own awesome jet fighter movies with you in action and see how a sleek black F117 Stealth can unleash the fury of precision bombs right where you want them to hit! The immense VR quality of Ace Combat 4 lets you fly however you want and strike with unique accuracy using advanced weapons like: the AIM9X Sidewinder II, AIM120 Advanced Medium-range Air-to-air Missile, AGM65 Maverick, AGM88 Harpoon, AIM54 Phoenix, Cluster bombs, Laser-guided bombs, the British Kormoran II, and more! Check out the awesome preview screens for the new AC5 on Gamespot. You can even download the trailer movie!

Every PS2 owner should have this game!

Dispite being almost 3 years old and on the (...) Greatest Hits list, this is still one of the most amazing games for the PS2 out there. The physics and graphics are jaw dropping. The gameplay is constantly exciting, and you often have a choice as to how you go about completing a mission.

The thing I liked best about this game was the involving, brilliant storyline that was presented in almost a graphic novel style. It's hard to believe that an air combat simulator can have a theatrical storyline, but this one has one of the best of ANY video game out there. It is right up there with the cutscenes of Max Payne.

2 player mode is fun too, I wish there were more dogfight maps, but it is very fun all around. And if you want to try something different, you can always get together with a friend and try your hand at formation stunt flying, then watch your results on the replay!

I cant wait for Namco's next addition to the Ace Combat franchise. I am hoping they go retro and do a sweet World War 2 fighter game, since WW2 is all the rage in video games now. I couldn't imagine anyone but Namco doing that.

All I have to say is: If you own a Playstation 2 you MUST own this game. For (...) you have no excuse!

Best Flight simulator game ever!

I played this game, and became addicted right away! I've played flight simulators, but none like this! The missions are intense, the graphics beyond words, and to top it off, the jets and weaponry is state-of-the-art! If you like combat flight simulators, you will love this game! Destroy a pillbox/bunker with a precision guided bomb or shoot down a yellow with a QAAM (Quick Air to Air Maneuver missle)! The Erusian Power house has taken over the mighty 'stonehenge', a massive facility made to shoot down astroids, and are using it to shoot down aircraft! Now, be the hero and help save ISAF (Independant States of Allied Forces) from certain doom in this war! May I also add that it is a very interesting plot that devolps as you beat the missions! Overall, a 5 star game that deserves your buying it!

The greatest fighter pilot game ever
