Combat

148 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I absolutely love Ace Combat, Project Wingman, and anything similar, however I sadly cannot say the same for this game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay is where this game really excels, the combat is near perfect and with so much to do it's difficult to get bored of this game without pouring a considerable amount of time into it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has nice cel shaded jets, and not so nice ground textures.
Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The variety and accessibility of the missions keeps the modest length campaign engaging from beginning to end, ground assaults feel a little rough with not a lot of risk of being shot down as you descend to bomb them but air-to-air dogfights are exhilarating and incredibly well done.
