Ace Combat 5 Review
Once again your put into the cockpit to fly sorties for your fictional nation. Being just about the only realistic combat flight simulator on the market for home consoles theres not much competition. Yet the Ace Combat series strides to outdue its last installment. Ace Combat 5 features some of the sharpest graphics I've ever seen for the Playstation 2. With 50 authentic aircraft each outfitted with authentic weapons and 30+ missions to bag bogies and ground targets, this game offers alot of variety. This installment debuts a new feature to the series. A wingman system that lets you give your squad commands at the touch of the direction pad. Personally I did not like this new addition. You'll be given yes or no questions in the heat of combat and expected to answer no matter what your currently doing. Plus if given the opportunity your squad will take down most enemies before you get a chance to. Replays are back and can be viewed at the end of a mission or by pressing start and doing it manually. The replays are visually astounding, capturing all the action you did in the skies and replaying it in just about photorealistic quality in various controlable viewpoints. A must have for fans of the series but also a must play for those who wondered what its like to fly the unfriendly skies. If it wasn't for the wingman command system making its way into the game I would have gave it a perfect 5 out of 5.
wow

Fly into the danger zone again
Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War - Circa 2005
GOOD:
- A good mix or simulation style and arcade fun
- Nice mission variety, good amount of air craft to unlock
- Have wing men who can give orders and assign aircraft to
- Radio chatter really helps get you into the story
BAD:
- Might play to much like arcade or to simulation for some
- Radio chatter can really annoying sometimes
- Story really dose not pick up till more then half way through the game
- This game is very similar to the pervious game in the Ace Combat franchise; it almost feels like an expansion
IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
- Takes place in a fictional world similar to our own with the same Game is broken up into missions (levels) in which you follow objectives and earn points to unlock new aircraft
- Certain missions are much easier with certain aircraft, example slow ground based missions' call for the A-10 and fast air-to-air missions call for the Y-F22, but you can still use any jet fighter you want on any level (so you never feel pigeon holed) aircraft as our own
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere
- Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies
- Lethal Skies
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- All the fighter aircraft in this game are replica of real life fighter aircraft
