Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies

"Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies is a highly enjoyable, well-executed flight sim that perfectly blends the action elements found in the series' earlier games with the sort of narrative typically reserved for other genres."

"Most missions will feature a lot of dogfighting and sparing amounts of reconnaissance... The game allows you some insane control--you can pull all the Gs you want... promises more than 20 aircraft included in the final product..."

"The look of the planes is easily Ace Combat's strongest point. They're very high-poly affairs, and they're supplemented by all kinds of neat little effects, such as particle-based contrails, heat distortions, and the like. Easily, this is one of the prettiest airplane games around."

"...the backgrounds are photo-realistic and are almost too good to be true. If these are any indication of what the game looks like in motion, Ace Combat 4 will be one of the best looking flight games that have ever been released for any console."

"...the best air combat simulation on a console."
