Okay, so as a *GAME*, it's not bad. It's pretty average. Total arcade feel. Things like missiles that reload themselves after you've shot all four. The story is pretty standard modern warfare trope, nothing special.

But as a simulation and a continuation of the Jane's name, it's a total fail. I could go into detail, but I'm sure the review will say more than I can. I'll just say that it's in no way near realistic. It seems more arcade-y than both HAWX and Ace Combat, but it's been over a year since I played either of them, so it's hard to compare.

another once great franchise gets sullied for the sake of a broader audience.



oh stop it. i suppose you'll wait for reviews of jack and jill before you decide it's crap.

there's a limit to being reserved in judgement before it becomes a laughable attempt to appear unassuming.

No need to be hostile. If you base your expectations on the name alone, then yes, it'll be crap. However, I've thoroughly enjoyed various iterations of Ace Combat, the last one I played a few years ago on my PSP. I can appreciate sims with the depth of Falcon 4, Jane's F/A-18, and DCS A10, but I can also appreciate "arcadey" games. They still need to be "well-made" arcade games though.

so where's the review?
