A Disappointment

Which is it? An air combat simulator or an arcade game? Unfortunately, the designers couldn't decide. The controls aren't smooth, although you can set up your controller to emulate the controls of another much superior air combat franchise. The visuals during dogfights are very limited, forcing the pilot to rely on a very tiny and inaccurate radar display. The graphics are only mediocre for the PS2.

The story involves (what else?) a fresh, young trainee pilot thrust into combat before he's ready, but who turns out to be a flying prodigy. He's just arrived at his new station, a tropical island that happens to be situated at a natural military flashpoint (sound familiar?). So, the player finds himself/herself racing all over the map taking on wave after wave of arcade style enemies, killing scores of opposing targets at a time. During all this, the pilot's CO, back in the tower, is yelling at him incessantly to either break off and head for a more important combat threat, or simply berating him that he's not killing enemies fast enough. I don't know who the rocket scientist was who decided that this sort of verbal abuse would make the game more exciting, but after 45 minutes of game play I was ready to put it in the trash. Another annoyance is that, after racing across the map at the insistence of your CO to take on a new threat, lining it up in your sights and firing your weapon, a cut scene appears, ruining your opening shot at the new threat and often requiring the player to begin a whole new pass at the target. This happened over and over, so I'm of the opinion that it was designed into the game.

Overall, this could have been a much better game, but it suffers from a lack of originality. If you're crazy about any sort of air combat game, you might enjoy this one. Otherwise, the Ace Combat series is superior in every sense.

not being played very much

I didnt like it very much. I like to fly with a cockpit view with the HUD in my face, this game has you flying with a behind the aircraft looking fwd view. the radar is fuzzy.

Best flying Naval combat game ever found

Have been looking for flying fun game. found good one. found this game very fun and exciting to play. Highly Recommend this game**** for anyone who loves flying-like top gun and flying combat missions and everything in between. some hard missions but have made it to the end. unlocking planes is simple. use your differnet modes like rookie or pilot or ace. this unlocks planes and weapons. want a fun flying combat game. buy this you wont be dissapointed. best game I 've ever found!!!
and also you get to land or take-off from an aircraft carrier.
