Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception

"Regardless of the lack of Internet-powered support and more Campaign missions, Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception is a jet-fueled triumph. The presentation is right on cue with the better chapters in the series, and the gameplay delivers on every front, even with the complicated PSP control scheme. Players will be jumping into the cockpit and blasting bogies out of the sky in no time, even if they think an F-14 is a test they take in college. Like Kenny Loggins says, it's time to get running into the danger zone."

"One of the best names in flight combat delivers another standout installment in Ace Combat X for the PSP, which features its own story and well-designed gameplay twists."

"Ace Combat X is a must-own flight/combat game. It's not just the best PSP has to offer: it's the best any handheld has ever seen. The arcade-style gameplay, deep battles, and rewarding missions are just some of the things that make this game a success."

"Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception makes a spectacular landing on the PSP. It has everything longtime fans of the series could possibly want, along with a few extras they're probably not expecting. Deception also looks great and runs well, offering a near identical experience as what's on the PS2. On top of that, it does a good job of offering narrative incentives, so the campaign never feels like a string of soulless missions. A robust and thoroughly engrossing multiplayer component rounds out the package. Equally recommended to seasoned aces as well as newcomers."
