What we armchair fighter jocks want is a game with enough complexity that every time we play it, it will challenge us. Not so simplistic that only a child would enjoy it, but not so laden with minutiae like oil pressure and Gs, that only a real fighter pilot could. With all this, and then some, plus graphics that will let you see sights of aerial combat you'd never dream you'd see, Ace Combat delivers! Namco gets it.

When trying to play Story Mode, the game tends to freeze. As a result, gameplay doesn't last very long.

I have Ace Combat 5 with the flight stick and throttle controls so I thought I would try this one. It does work with the controls though I have not been able to retrieve saved games using the controls. In very easy mode it is great for those of us that are NOT professional gamers. That makes this a bit easier than Ace Combat 5 which has some levels that are VERY hard to beat. It has a versus mode so you can play against a friend. The graphics and realism are very good I really like it. If only I could get it to retrieve saved games with the flight stick controls.
First off I rated this lowered then what I felt it deserves, but that because if you prefer realism over action-packed, this game may not be for you. However if you prefer action, this is a definite buy. Should you prefer realism, get Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. This game seems like Ace Combat 2 with much better graphics, but compared to AC2, AC04 has less varied missions. Alot of the time, you'll just be destroying as much as possible. I imagine it'll bother some people, but I thought it was fun. Usually I just blow stuff up anyways. The game's soundtrack truly shines as the best in the series, especially the 'Megalith Angus Dei', which is a techno/symphony score set to the lyrics of W. Mozart's Requiem, Angus Dei movement. It sets the tone for the greatest firefight of the series. Check this one out.Read full review
The game is a really good game. The realism is pretty good and the graphics are really good as well for the year it was made. The storymode is well drawn out and very illustrative but it does take awhile to go through it if you watch the story unfold. The gameplay is pretty good and consistent. Sometimes some of the missions are a little too easy and then some of them are hard as crap. At the start it's easy to move through the storyline but as you go it gets more and more difficult, a good thing for a story-mode game. Some games just stay the same difficulty through-out the levels but this gets more difficult as you go. The only drawback I get is the lack of airplane choices you have for awhile. It's like you have to buy them which takes awhile to do. Great game and I recommend it to anybody that loves airplane fighter games.Read full review
Always been a fan of the Ace Combat Series. This game does not disappoint. Excellent pre-cursor to the Ace Combat 5 game - by far my favorite in the series. This as 5, also allows for purchase of multiple crafts to be used on varying missions. Surprisingly enough, it also responds perfectly to the Hori Flight Stick designed exclusively for Ace Combat 5. The only minor let down I have with this game is that it does not support vibration with the stick. Overall though, a great game for flight combat sim fans.
The game was in excellent condition, the box had not only the game disc but also the booklets too. The game runs very well, and is very fun to play.

For PS2, the graphics are fairly nice, but the game truly shines in terms of its exciting missions and fast-paced gameplay! I highly recommend this to anyone interested in arcade-style flight sim and/or the Ace Combat series.

This game gets your attention once you begin, it isn't as deep as belkan war or the unsung war but it's a good hook.graphics are very cool and the controllers are confortable but as expected later version have some other things that make them better. I doesn't really have "boss fights" which takes the edge off when you actually beat something that can be considered a boss. I compare it to the first drakengard because the story doesn't have such a fluent movement but great game to begin, also the actual gameplay is a bit more difficult than game play of later installments.
I purchased this because I am a big flying fan,i have used all types of simulators and am interested in everything.The graphics are awesome.The game loads fast and has lots of new levels,Bad things,for myself anway,were the levels of flying,plain and simple this should have a free flight mode with aircraft carrier landings and takeoffs,since this game is the "unsung war"and more takeing off and landing options for ground landings,But this is a game of "others",maybe my ideas would be heard.Thank you for the invatation to write the reveiw....
