Honestly? Kinda surprised at how well this holds up! Not to say I expected the original Ace Combat to be a bad time at all; I figured it'd just kind of okay. It's certainly got a bit of early PS1 energy to it with some whacky pop in, but overall? A pretty damn fun time!
The game controls pretty smooth, assuming your current plane isn't rocking the mobility of a brick, making the constant aerial dogfights a blast. In fact, plenty of the missions were great fun to play, and that motherfucking soundtrack was the cherry on top. Shit's pure electricity right in my veins; exactly the type of heavy rock you need to get you in the zone. And with a pretty damn short runtime, it all makes for a real neat way to kill an evening, and a bunch of enemy fighter planes. Good stuff, bring on the sequels!
