It lands on the PlayStation 2 the fourth chapter of famous saga Ace Combat: Ace Combat Distant Thunder. Obviously the juice of the game has remained the same, a fighter is chosen, he equips him and he departs in flight to devastate the enemies. Also the philosophy at the base of the game has been tied up to that of his predecessors with the usual formulation arcade that it will perhaps make to vex who prefers war an experience more detailed. The boys of the Namco have exploited very well the potentialities of the mythical console Sony. An aspect this that is noticed since the first missions. The panoramas offered by the game are unique; misty valleys surrounded from hills, urban centers in front of the sea, forests rich in vegetation, sandy deserts full of rocky hillocks and mountainous chains with snow. All these landscapes have been reconstructed detailed, it will be difficult doesn't remain to open mouth observing these graphic masterpieces. I am not then from less the models of the airplanes that we will have to pilot. Inside of the cabins we will notice a perfect reproduction of the instrumentation typical of the fighters with all the interrupters to their place. To this whole graphic magnificence they go him to connect the atmospheric effetis as the rain, the clouds and the sun extremely realistic. Connect among them the missions there are the sequences: fixed sketches accompanied by a narrator voice. In this episode it has been added a new formality that will allow you to play with a friend and believe me to destroy the fighter of one friend of yours it will be very more satisfactory and amusing than to neutralize un`anonimous chases checks from the CPU of it. The system of control has not suffered particular changes: with the keys R and L it checks him the speed of our airplane, with the analogical stick or with the directional freccettes the player can check the airplane while the rimantes you feel they are devoted to the management of the weapons. The
department of the sonorous one results to be a lot of parish priest: the music that follow our deeds are of style hard-rock. During the missions we will be bombed by the messages of our companions, that ask help or they tell more simply us some presence of hostile airplane in tail. Wanting to go to look for some defects can be said that the 18 missions are few, I recommend do not play to an inferior level to the normal. In conclusion Ace Combat Distant Thunder doesn't disappoint the demands of the "virtual pilots". The game of the Namco in fact it enjoys of a graphic department out of the commune, of a good sonorous and of a frantic gameplay, aspects that make it an unique masterpiece, need then to specify that the game has been "transported" on the PlayStation 2 without upsetting its original form.
