THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!

I would have to say that this was one of Namcos finest games created. With the flight stick the realism will fly right past you, although, the flight stick does not have the looks it works extremely well. The flight stick is also compatible with pc games and the Blazing Angeles series. The game includes a wide variety of missions ranging from islands in the tropics to snowy regions near the poles. The game is also similar to the Ace Combat 5 for ps2 except this game was created with more missions and better graphics. I was very much please that I bought this game, and I guarantee that your $150 without tax will be well spent!

WOW this game is fantastic! The gameplay is wonderful and videos pull you into the storyline. It took me a bit to get use to the flight stick but OMG its a must have for this game. save your money and get this bundle, also came with a cool face for the 360. if you love to Ace Combat series i strongly recomend this one. The missions get really hard at times since there are sub missions and you will have to go back and re-fuel and ammo up. you can face up to 300 units on one mission. The online blew my mind, its so much fun. This game is the best so far for the Ace Combat series, I only hope Microsoft will release more games that i can use the stick on (Mech warrior, X Wing...)

Great Fun

Never had a flying game before. Mounted the 2 flightsticks on a piece of wood using the supplied suction cups. Works great. Hours of challenging fun and action. Each user can customize the controls to their own taste.

Outstanding Flight Simulation

Of all the flight sim games this is absolutely the best. The action of the flight controller will have you doing barrel rolls in your sleep!!!! Definitely not easy to learn but once you do it is also challenging. Lots of action, plenty of targets to shoot and you better watch your butt, since you will be shot out of the sky if you dont. I have 14 different Xbox games and this is one of the best ever...If you are thinking of getting the game without the flight controller, forget about it, the controller is what makes the game really FLY......HAVE FUN!!!!!

Easy controls

To the guy that says his 10 yr old cant play it but is a wiz on other games. Your kid must be retarded then, because this is a very easy game to play, its self explanatory, my 8 yr old sis can play call of duty 4, and she gets head shots!...

This limited edition bundle is simply great buy the game itself is awesome the graphics are mind blowing I have Panasonic 42 inch 1080p hdtv with HDMI connection to both my dvr system and xbox elite system the sound the graphics the story everything is top nosh it looks like high budget action movie during play .the flight stick is still pack because I had no trouble playing the game with wireless controller I use to play jet fighter 4 and 5 but this game sets the bar high way above the jet fighter series just a note to new players if you like to fly your aircraft from the inside (cockpit view)press the Right stick downwards on wireless controller.... in short it is a great buy I might use the sticks with my computer instead of xbox 360 well lets see

I liked this game very much. The flight sticks are great and feel very natural to play a flight game with. The only thing that was lacking was the story of the game. That is why I gave 4 stars. Game play is fine, graphics are great, and the sound is awesome.

Flightstick not worth it.

Some of the reviews of the AC6 Flightstick Bundle seem to be only for the game itself. I reviewed the game itself separately. This review is for the flightstick bundle, which comes in the box displayed by amazon here.

I bought a used set that came complete with everything from the original purchase, box, cords, faceplate, etc. And, everything worked fine and as intended.

However, I found these controls to be not really much fun at all. My experience with them showed they were slow, sluggish, and difficult to be precise with. I went through AC6 entirely, on two different levels. The only way I could get anywhere beyond about the first 5 missions was to revert to the standard hand-held controller. With that, I could control the plane very precisely.

The flight stick is a great concept, but I feel it's actual performance is much below what I anticipated. It really boils down to being able to control the plane quickly and precisely, which just wouldn't happen with this flightstick for me. Others may have a completely different experience. Read the reviews here to gain an idea of what some gamers have to say about their flightstick.

No instructions come with the bundle, this is the way it came from the factory. There is a somewhat confusing schema on the side of the box which attempts to explain what the function of each button/movement will be. I also bought a game guide which devoted a page to labeling the buttons and trying to correlate them with what the buttons on the hand-held controller did. This helped, but some of it you really had to figure out by trial and error.

Again, some gamers perhaps have had a stellar experience with this Flightstick Bundle. I did not. My experience with the Ace Combat series includes all of them from Air Combat (the first one) through Ace Combat 6, including Ace Combat Zero. All completed at multiple levels. For whatever reason, I was never able to become good enough with the stick to even approach what I could do with the standard controller.

Incredible Graphics.... and a ton of crash bugs. Hold off a few weeks.

I've always been a huge Ace Combat fan, I think I probably played through Ace Combat 5 fifty times, so when this came out I was pretty excited. Sadly while what little of the game I've seen is incredible visually, it has some major bugs. Notably that it crashes every... 5-10 minutes. Typically I get maybe 5 minutes into the first mission, but I've had it glitch as early as the plane selection screen. On the whole pretty depressing. Now its possible I've gotten a bad disk, but judging by some reviews on other sites (IGN notably) there are others with the same issue.

I'd suggest waiting at least a few weeks to pick it up, otherwise your risking unplayability.

Finally... A worthy Flight Combat Sim in almost 10 years after D.I.D.'S "T.A.W." and Jane's "USAF"

After almost 10 years since Digital Image Design's (D.I.D.) "Total Air War"(T.A.W.) and Jane's "USAF", here is a Flight Combat Sim that is a worthy successor to those Great Flight Sims of the past. Today we have "Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation". This game has to be played with a flight stick and throttle in order to fully immerse yourself into this flight sim. The only thing more I could hope for is that this game makes it to P.C. in the near future...
