GREAT GAME! YOUR MISSING OUT IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED IT! |
| Amanda Hugnkiss from Ontario, USA says (24/May/2004): |
My brother got the game and I thought it would be a stupid game...
I WAS WRONG! Great Game all around. Best Flying Sim I've ever played. More than enough missles to choose from. The story line could use a little help, but it's still a good game. If you haven't played it, your missing out big time! I haven't been able to find any cheats for this game, so if you know any, please e-mail me as soon as possible! OH! And my opinion is to buy the S-37 ( I think that's what it's called). It comes with High Manuverability Missles!

THE BEST AIR COMBAT GAME EVER! |
| Spence from Denver, USA says (15/Oct/2004): |
This game is the best air combat that I have come across in a decade! Some great tips are at ps2cool.com. The only bad thing is that it is very hard to get all the color schemes but still great. The graphics are great and the planes and weapons are very realistic and excellent for a game. YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON A GREAT GAME IF YOU DON'T PLAY THIS! You will need a gameshark to get good codes if you want anything other than tips on how to get paint schemes and additional aircraft. I have logged more than 40 hours but still cannot stay away from the game. My most kills are over 5000 thousand but this game is still great to play with the added difficulity levels.

The best flying sim yet!! |
| A gamer from Ft.Carson,USA says (15/Jun/2004): |
This is overall a very good game. Even though i didn't like the point system and the ways you got the planes, i liked the environments,and the dogfights.And if you liked this game,you will love AceCombat5,the unsung war. And if they didn't make getting the X-02 stealth so hard,i would've liked it a bit more. And,does anyone know how to get yellow 13's plane? Also,i loved the 3d grafics of the game.the game needed more planes and more missions,and so i conclude this review by saying this is a very good game.

Ace Combat 04 Shattered Skies |
| A gamer from USA says (12/Apr/2004): |
This was an exciting game that fulfilled my expectations, except for the shows. The shows were great in casting, except for they were comic style almost because they didn't move instead it showed pictures with someone talking but nothing moving, it was annoying after awhile but the game play is great, it is as if you were really taken to air. Please play this game as soon as possible. If you do not understand or need help plz don't hesitate to email me. The third to last airplane is the best airplane in the game. Please if you find out how to change paint email me though

Very Nice Sim. |
| Hiei from Redlands, CA, USA says (5/Apr/2004): |
This is a very great game. It's a much better simulator than previous editions of Ace Combat. It has great graphics, none of other sim games i played can match it. It's more realistic than last version of it, though some of the weapons like "Megalith"" are a bit unreal, that's the part namco should fix. A good amount of sounds are real, as it says in AC04 booklet making the game even more realitic. It has good value, i'd exepct even a higher price for this type of game. Overall it's an awsome game, definitly the best Simulator game on PS2/Xbox.

A great sim |
| Daniel from Edina, Minnesota, USA says (30/Jul/2003): |
I love acecombat04!! its a great game to have around when you are bored, i have all of the missions on all difficulty levels completed with an "S" rank i think, i have most of the aces shot down and am working on getting all the planes with all of the different color schemes. the graphics are amazing, the game-play is adictive,.... The best plane (not just in my opinion, it really is the best plane!) is the X-02 Multiroll. It is the fastest plane, and it has the biggest ammo capacities: 950 gun, 82 missile, 26 XLAA, 24 BDSM, and 16 QAAM. it has the highest mobility, and it just plain looks freaking cool. To get the X-02, you must beat all the missions on normal with an S ranking, and to get the 2 other color schemes for it, you must beat all missions on hard and expert with all S ranking. you can use free mission to do this though, which helps.

superb! |
| Christopher from Glasgow, Scotland says (14/Feb/2002): |
I have no doubt that this is the best game in my ps2 collection. The first thing that you notice is the smoothness of the graphics. The controls are very realistic and compared to other flying games are much easier to learn.
Although there are only 18 missions, they become vey detailed and envolving making them last a while. There is also 4 difficulty settings to complete making the game's lifespan quite long.
In two player you are stuck with the inside view only and another couple of camera angles there wouldn't go amiss.
The replays are also great as watching your mate crash and burn in 7 differnt angles can be fun.
The fact that you can land and takeoff at any time to refuel and rearm is another added feature.

Awsome |
| A gamer from Lebanon Ct, USA says (6/Mar/2002): |
This game really blew me away. This is the first game where I would play just to watch the replay. The attion to specifics like heat trails and such really add a subliminal greatness to the game. Another fine example of what PS2 can really do!
|
Very awsome game |
| Brock from Scottsdale, Arizona says (22/Oct/2002): |
I think this game was really good. The graphics were great and what I like the most was that your friends actually help you by shooting ohter jets down also. See on Ace Combat2 for PS, you only did the missions by your self and rarly had anybody to help you, if you did have someone the don't do crap for you, they just fly around and say "I'm hit I'm hit" cause they suck. The stories the guy tells I think get boring after awile, cause all he says is how good that fighter guy is that sits in the bar playing his guitar. But I think this is an awsome game, I also like to see the after burners come on cause it looks real. When they come out with Ace Combat5, wow that will be even more awsome!
|
Frikkin' Awsome! |
| Bad Andy from Lewisburg, TN USA says (15/Dec/2002): |
This game just doesn't seem to get boring; if it does, just change the difficulty level. Everything looks so real. The music's alright, but I found the game to be more fulfilling without it. A few key features of the game: you can hold down the missile launch button to watch a close-up of your shot, the replay feature is just plain cool, and the detail of the aircraft and weapons. Get in an F-14, watch your replay, and it's like your in Top Gun. Only bad thing: you can only play multiplayer in one certain view, but that's not nearly enough to drag the game down. GREAT GAME!

"Rated best flight sim of the year."says gamespy. |
| Andrew from Canton,Ohio United States says (9/Jun/2003): |
This game is by far the best flight simulation game that i have ever played for ps2.The graphics are the best i have ever seen on a ps2 game.This explosive action takes your mind to a whole new level.You can fly over 20 planes including stealth bombers,stealth fighters,and many mutirole jets.There are 18 explosive levles with about 6 difficulties to play on.The bad thing about this game is that you have to have codebreaker or gameshark to unlock any codes in this game.If you do not have codebreaker or gameshark you have to beat the game codeless.But that does not change the fun of this explosive flight simulation rated the game of hte year 2001!

WOW What GAME |
| robert mitchell from mineral wells texas says (6/Feb/2004): |
This game has it all graphics,story lines, fighting, and the ability to draw a person right on in the game, i recomend this game to everyone. the graphics are true to nature,but sometimes a little to dark, but thats the challenge.the aircrafts abilities, are great, and the techniques, are tremendious.i do admit, it does get a little harry in those dog fights, but it will keep you on your toes throughout the game, once you get the hang of it, you wont let go.so come on in and give it a try, you wont be disapointed with your choice.

Just like crack only legal ! |
| Morgil from NY, NY says (12/Jun/2003): |
Truly a great game! I just beat every level (including ace) with an "S" ranking and I'm still hooked! There's a bunch of hidden stuff like a couple of SR-71's and an XB-70 so I keep looking for more. It plays different in different view modes and with the ability to just fly around the battle fields without combat there's a lot of different ways to play with this game. I just wish the XO carried the big bomb. Can't wait for 5.

"THIS GAME IS AWESOME" |
| A gamer from Afganistan says (19/Nov/2003): |
This game is so cool. I just beat the whole thing and I loved it!!! If anyone is looking for a game and they love flying planes then they should but it. Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies has graphics an ok storyline and awesome missions. Even though it can be frustrating keep playing.

Why Ace04 is the best PS2 game ever |
| Chris from DesPlaines (a Chicago suburb), Illinois, USA says (10/Aug/2003): |
My first point is the graphics they rock! Color and shaddows and reflections change with the time of day and altitude and crud like that. The sound is amazing. Ace04 has a fair selectio of background music. On the first two difficulties (very easy, and easy)the game is a bit easy, but after that it gets more difficult. The levels are great with amzing graphics and senery detail. A large selection of jets, 18 in all, adds to the excitement of the game.The story isn't the best but it isn't the worst i've seen. I give the story a 7, graphics a 10, music a 9.5, and levels a 10. This is a must have for serious jet sim gamers.

A promising start for Ace Combat on PS2 |
| Björn Andreasson from Gothenburg Sweden says (15/Feb/2002): |
Graphics: This game is beautiful. The graphics are almost equivalent to Gran Turismo 3. The replays are awesome. Your plane really looks like a heavy piece of expensive machinery. However there is room for improvement. The explosions, for instance, are a bit disappointing. When you hit a large plane, like a cargo plane, there is a huge explosion of burning fuel. When the smoke clears the plane suddenly looks intact, then another explosion - plane still intact - explosion – plane completely dissolved.
Sound: Not bad at all. The radio chatter creates an illusion of real aereal combat. During replays the jet engines get muffled as the plane moves away from the camera. Then there is that hissing sound as a missile breaks free from the launching pod. Neat!
Lifespan: Since you can adjust difficulty level and choose different planes the lifespan should be long. The multiplayer option offers hours of dogfighting with your friends/enemies. The game is likely to outlive them. The sky is, literally, the limit.
Originality: Fortunately the game is not very original. Ace Combat 3 was original in a way that made the whole game go overboard. I am very pleased to say that Namco essentially stuck to the basics this time. Personally I prefer it that way. I would like an even stronger element of realism. If this is the “Ridge Racer” of the skies, I would die to get my hands on the “Gran Turismo”.
Fun factor: What can I say? Every boy must have built plastic models and dreamt of becoming a pilot. This is as close as most of us get. It takes a lot to be a real pilot. Follow my example instead. Go out and buy this game and get your ass back in the sofa.

best game ever |
| A gamer from commack NY USA says (25/Feb/2002): |
this is one of the best dogfighting games ever. The graphics are superb and flight characteristics very geniune. Namco even took the time to make the background realistic and highly detailed. Valleys mountains and ravines make for some challenging flight, instead of the usual flat background with minimal color. When flying low over water u can look back and see you jet blast leaving a trail in the water. Machine gun bullets will leave trails through the water, and the rain makes levels feel realistic. With several levels, enemies, and planes to shoose from oyu are guaranteed many many hours of gaming fun. I myself have played for over 15 hours beating the game on all 6 modes. As the mode gets harder, from very easy to easy, to normal, to hard, expert, to ace, it takes more shots to kill an enemy and less hits to get killed yourself. Explosions look realistic, and missiles look awesome as they fly from you guided toward your target. The scene before the final level is extremely well done, as every detail has been considered and it looks absolutely real. Replays make things also look realistic. Enemy planes as well as your wiingmen look very real, but you can not kill your friendly planes. Takeoffs and landings are fun and realistic, and they allow you to refuel (not important) and rearm or change your special weapon (bomb, guided missle, rocket launcher.....) WHat are you waiting for? Go out and buy this game NOW!
