 Great flying but... September 26, 2008
This is a great flying game, very kool graphics and game play but...The story line is pretty bad and way to much talking going on. Plus i'd love for it to have a mode where you can doigfight someone in free flight with two controllers. Its only one player but you can dogfight online if you want, which requires an Xbox live account, i guees its all about the mighty dollar. The game costs enough as it is, can they at least cut us a break on something, i want to dogfight my buddy sitting next to me, not some stranger thousands of miles away.
 What's not to like? June 9, 2008
I didn't play the previous versions of the game, I started with 6. It is a BLAST. The planes are cool and the fighting is FUN. The graphics are AMAZING. I don't understand some of the other negative reviews. Yes the cut scenes are silly but they have a certain melodramatic humor to them, and we buy video games for the game play, not the cut scenes.
I needed something good after BioShock, it took me a while to find this game and now that I have I'm digging my Xbox again.
GO ACE COMBAT 6!
Good single player April 19, 2008
This is the first Xbox 360 edition of a franchise I have played since PS2. I enjoyed the single player campaign quite a bit. Handling was decent and controls made a good transition to the new platform.
 Not the best in the series April 10, 2008

The differences between this one and AC-4, AC-5, AC-0 I think are that the graphics in terms of terrain, missile trails, and planes are superior, but the missions are much, much longer and divided into multiple parts. This is not all good or bad, but different. At times it's nice to be able to start from the last "checkpoint", rather than go through a long, tedious mission until you get to the next phase, etc. You can get a little worn out or lose your peak interest during the mission. I don't have HD-TV, I'm not sure if that matters, but I found it hard to visualize the target box and its ID on foilage-covered terrain. I couldn't even tell sometimes which target I was locked onto (unless a dust or smoke cloud obscured the ground, then, strangely, the target box stood out clearly.) Unlike most other reviewers, I sort of liked the story and the story board. I bought an XBox360 just for this game and although playing the game was OK, in retrospect it was not worth my additional expense. But, if you're a fan of the series, what are you going to do? I do hope Namco makes some changes in the next game. Anyone know how to pass suggestions on to them? There are many things I think they did not do well in terms of programming the characteristics of flight, etc., too many to list here. Overall, the game is "OK" and if you're a fan of the series, you should get it. Perhaps playing on an HD-TV makes it more worthwhile.
Fun - but not a little too short April 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I think I pretty much agree with everyone else who reviewed this game. It's a fun game, especially when you consider that there aren't very many flight combat sims/shooters for the XBox. And one can't get over the beauty of the photo-realistic scenes you're immerse in at every mission. I'm not ashamed to say that I almost cried the first time I played a demo of this game on my 42" Plasma HDTV. However, the game is a little too short. Plus there isn't much replay value. In addition, the cut scenes (that help fill in the storyline) used dated graphics that really pale in comparison to the graphics used in the missions.
Overall, I'd still enthusiastically recommend this game. It just could have been better.
