Ace Combat: Sky's the limit

Picture this. A war between the allies and the enemy, that has taken over most of your territory. The only thing that your country has is a small airbase with little or no aircraft to fly to defend, the alarm goes off signaling that enemy bombers and fighters heading your way, destroying any weapons and aircraft that might slow them down. It's time to test your skills, the fate of your country lies in your hands. Will you change the tide of the war?

This story takes place in a world where "the sky's the limit". Aces from all around the world perfect their skills in case another war breaks out, and they want to get into the action.

You start off small in the game. A small aircraft, with only one or two sub-weapons you can carry, with a low speed, and a hard time maneuvering. Over time as you complete mission after mission, you'll earn credits depending how you rank on the mission (from rank C to rank S the higher the rank, the more credits you'll earn) which you can spend on new and better aircraft's to pilot from.

You also get a codename in the game, instead of calling you "Red 6" or "Black 10", you get a names like "Blaze", "Pixy", etc. which is kinda cool you know, i mean its better than just say a color and a number. Each Ace Combat game has a different codename so don't think you're playing the same person twice (but it would be kinda cool if you did).

Beating the game is easy, but getting all the aircraft is harder than you think. Just because you beat the game on an easy level, doesn't mean you beat the game. To me, beating an Ace Combat game is getting all the aircraft, all the medals, and having an S rank on all the missions from easy to Ace mode. I've done it before, it's not easy.

Overall, I think this would be a great game for people who want to be in the Air Force, and those who just want to fly an airplane. The graphics and the sounds feel like you're actually in the game fighting a war. So what do you say, you got what it takes to change the tide of the war?

The links below will give you more information about the game, and other Ace Combat games they made in other game systems. Enjoy!
