Game Thoughts: Ace Combat 6

Posted in Games, Xbox 360 by Master Geek on May 8th, 2008 |

Ahhh Top Gun in a video Game. Ace Combat 6 is the latest in a long line of arcade flying sims.

This version is on the Xbox 360, previous versions were on the Playstation 2 and 1.

The Good:

  • Fantastic graphics, your planes look real, the cloud effects are spot on and the whole look and feel of flying around is amazing.
  • Decent storyline, they tried to do something different with the main cutscenes.
  • Fantastic single player missions, the things that you do are great.
  • Multiplyer online is great, from co-op modes to team battles they have the major bases covered and its pretty great.
  • The replay of your level is like watching scenes from Top Gun. :-)

The Bad:

  • Namco are really nickel and diming players on the extra content, you can spend more than you did on the game in the new planes and levels that they released.
  • You can’t do the single player missions in co-op mode. They only have 2 specific co-op missions with 2 more you can buy online.

Overall:

A great game to play, this game was sooo much fun. If you like arcade style flying around, then this is a must play. :-)
