(when i was like 13yrs old) I felt every inch of this and something broke free within me when the stadium scene happened. I ran out of missiles for the first time and found myself surrounded by stealth fighters in the dark sky. Now without the computer's help targeting I just had the gun and my eyes as I streaked in 360 degrees as Nagase's radio vocalizations urged me to kill every one of the stealth fighters and make it out alive.

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War gives the player the space to process mixtures of passion and beauty that are often unspoken. The theme is the ultimate deception of mankind's industrial behemoth. All industrial advances cause mass death, and yet there is a higher beauty to all of it. I love the story of the Razgriz deeply and feel personally connected to it in my work in the oilfield in a cold climate. I felt the passion when I first played it but the memory of it means a lot more to me now that I sacrifice myself in the trenches of industry. To me it represents the hope that technological advance will lead to a preservation of industrial resources and industrial beauty for the sake of beauty, instead of seeing it all as expenditure.

In a raw sense I think that the gameplay worked very well, especially given how vast the maps were. If you compare the final mission, SOLG, it was a lot like the experience of playing Rez. The Unsung War is kind of like a massive Rez with narrative context for the hologram shooter. I think that everything in The Unsung War complimented the PS2 from the atmospheric menu to the spacial gameplay.

Took my ocular and aural virginity. Pretty much invented certain shades of iridescence as well as its own subgenre of electronic music. Perfectly challenging in my experience with it.

By God, I will not rest until society is populated by militaristic and gravely serious individuals in androgynous armor, ready to carry out orders to the utmost efficiency while skirts flow around their thighs. Holograms shining though the ash of conquest...
