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!

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!

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.

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.
