THE GOOD: The amazing graphics. It feels like you're really flying a plane.
THE BAD: Too many inconsequential target.
SUMMARY: This game totally blew me away in playability and graphics. The terrain is the actual satellite image from outer space, but unlike a flat picture, the terrain features stand out as well especially if you're flying map-of-the-earth, a few hundred feet above the surface.
THE GOOD: Awesome military aircraft,fantastic graphics,well put together missions,great replay value,great background music.
THE BAD: Only 18 missions rather than the 24 that were promised in many of the reviews I read on the web.
SUMMARY: Ace Combat04 is by far the best flight simulation for PS2 console system and beats the socks off Titus "TOPGUN:COMBAT ZONES".
Namco has really out did themselve's with this one and has shown they know how to put together a good flight game that gives the player a real adrenaline rush and heart pounding action.I was very pleased with this game and did not feel let down with this one in the Ace Combat series.There have been others that have like TopGun and Eagle One:Harrier Attack. It is really nice to have a flight simulator that has the quality of a computer game with out having to worry about all those key commmands and such
SUMMARY: It has incredibly graphics. Real jets to fly. Outstanding Dogfights. 18 pumped up missions. Over 20 flyable jets. Best Air Fighter Game For PS2. Cant wait to see Ace Combat 5. Ace Combat 4 offers really good flying experiance. It is truly one of the best games of all time. NAMCO sure did a outstanding job of creating this game. Id recamend this to any one.
SUMMARY: This game is truly awesome, I got this game at christmas, I bought it right after I found out I got a PS2, and guess what, I AM STILL PLAYING IT! I have beaten it completely on every level of difficulty, AND I AM STILL PLAYING IT! AC04 still tops all the PS2 flight sims I have seen, at LEAST give it a rent.
THE GOOD: Perfect control and graphics almost to much graphics. lots of planes with kick butt special weapons. Lots of dificuly settings so you can play it 6-8 times before you are truely repeating anything.
THE BAD: 100+ missles you can kill alot of targets in one mission so no kills are very memorable. only 18 missions not enough to keep me busy for to long but I kick butt it may take you longer.
SUMMARY: If you don't own a flight sim this is the one to get and if you are a flight simmer you better already have it.
SUMMARY: This is the most amazing game I have ever played. The visuals are absolutely amazing. You are a jet fighter taking out enemy bogeys and hostiles left and right. It's great to be an Airborn Ace! Even the storyline is intriguing - there is the whole duality of combat - the love/hate relationship of the young boy with his combined awe of the enemy pilot and hatred for destroying his family and way of life - very deep and richly detailed, and those are just the cutscenes. The levels are varied and challenging, with different difficulty settings ranging from pretty simple to fatalistic. This game has everything and I don't usually like flight-sim type games. Did I mention that the levels are varied? You have so many different tasks to complete and missions to accomplish, this is truly an accomplishment in gaming. There are a myriad of jets to pilot, and weapons to...
THE GOOD: Wonderful graphic's,excellent BGM,nice choice of aircraft,great replay value.
THE BAD: Not enough missions,could use some more aircraft to choose,a little more realism.
SUMMARY: Being a big fan of the Ace Combat series,I must say that Namco did an extemely excellent job with their latest creation in this series.
There are not too many air combat games for the PSX or PS2 systems that can beat Namcos,these games wether they may be too arcade like or not are truly realistic in my opinion.
The good: What a big improvement from the earlier games, though Ace Combat 3's graphic's were pretty well done,this one realy feel's like you are in the cockpit for real flying high over mountains, cities,and through canyons.The graphic's are outstanding photo realistic which gives the game that sense you are there,it realy does feel when playing this game that you...
THE GOOD: Uh, about everything is good, amazing graphics, sounds, replay value, everything. The planes look fantastic but don't always operate like a real plane should.
THE BAD: This isn't a flight sim. Not really a bad thing but it could be based on what you're looking for.
SUMMARY: This game is somewhat similar to the old Afterburner games that were on Sega. The game has extremely good graphics, the land areas look especially good as do the enemy planes, ground troops etc... The music is good and fits the mood of the levels you're playing. For example, the final mission has a classical music piece, a dark opereta that forshadows the destruction of the enemy super weapon.
Like I said above, this isn't a flight sim. The F-14 can carry a payload of 8 missiles, in this game the F-14 carries 64 regular missiles and any number of secondary missles/bombs. There are no blackouts, redouts, or whiteouts, meaning you can do hard...
THE GOOD: Despite what people say, you can get the X-02 without the gameshark. You just have to get (S) ratings in the first 3 levels, and a whole lot of money.
THE BAD: could use the 24 missions as told, but as everyone else says, thats the only thing even somewhat wrong with this game.
THE GOOD: This game gives you flight expereince in combat which allows you to rely on skill, nerves, and conservation. You also need strategy to get a certain amount of points and so on. YOU DO NOT NEED THE GAMESHARK FOR THE LAST JET.
THE BAD: There is no bad! This game is truly awesome!!!
SUMMARY: I loved the game. Best buy I have ever boughten. It has beaten my score for Grand Theft Auto 3, Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec, Kessen II, and Medal of Honor: Frontline put together. Truly awesome as said before. There is nothing bad about the game, it's so good that you really can't describe it on paper or a computer screen for this matter, heheh. It's just...Awesome. The storyline grips you, the graphics leave you astonished and the gameplay is hard to put down. Make sure you have a few weeks off so you can play it and beat it! You must buy this game!
