I'm a massive fan of the Ace Combat series, and while this might lead me to bias it also opens my eyes to things I expect from it as standard. Developed by Namco Bandai for the Xbox360 I had been eagerly waiting for this game to reach Europe and it's slightly further on release date as opposed to the USA and Japan. It was this wait that built up my expectations of what this game should be, banking on the success of the previous title which I thoroughly enjoyed. As the screenshots and videos began to trickle onto the internet, it gave fans such as myself the opportunity to become a bit more involved in the story behind the game before it came to getting a hands ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a big fan of Namco`s Project Aces team and have played every single one of the ace combat games dating back to the first 'triangular graphics' game of 1995, through to the ground breaking 2nd and 4th 'distant thunder' games. This game graphically does not dissapoint, the rendering must have taken namco some time and as since the 4th and 5th (squadron leader) games the plane modelling also looks fantastic. You return once again to the fictional world of gracemaria and estovakia (america and russia respectively hudging by the bad stereotypical accents and uniforms), following on from the 6th game technically - called the forgotten ...  Read the complete review

Ace Combat 6 Fires Of Liberation is a flight simulator game for the Microsoft Xbox 360 games console. The story in this game is pretty strange, it is about a number of things that do not seem to relate to the fighting you are doing in the game! The gameplay however is very good, if you have played the previous games on the PlayStation two you will know what to expect. The planes handle realistically, but not overly so so the game remains accessible yet it provides a good challenge and is a lot of fun. Most of the fighting in the game is done by missiles, these are super easy to use. Simply lock on to a target and fire when it turns red ...  Read the complete review

For a while I had heard good things about Ace Combat but because I had never played any of the previous installments I was a bit wary. After finally purchasing the game however I can now confirm I dont think I will be buying any more. The game itself looks brilliant especially on a hdtv and the sound is pretty good also such as the radio chatter from other pilots. Where it suffers in my opinion though is its repetivness. The game is really good when your first starting out but I just feel the missions are way to long and you get pretty bored quickly. You seem to be armed with an infinate amount of missiles but for good reason as each mission has ...  Read the complete review

This is an aerial combat game based in a fictional country called Gracemeria (feel free to interpret this as America as I'm sure you're supposed to) The country is invaded by a foreign power & lost to them. You take the part of a Pilot, flying for the resistance, trying to liberate the country. The first thing you'll notice about this game is the graphics. This really is High Definition gaming at it's best. The graphics are so good, I would go as far to say it's like playing a movie. This is the best looking game I have ever seen. All you need to do is get Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins on you hard drive, load it as a custom soundtrack & you're flying in ...  Read the complete review
