The game is mission-based with up to 30 missions to complete. The object is to complete the missions as quickly and accurately as possible. At the end of the mission, you will receive a rank depending on your performance, as well as a cash award for completing the objective. As the game progresses and your rank rises, different aircraft become available for you to purchase even though you are working for the government, they still make you buy the planes -- typical.
Each plane has different characteristics, although to a novice like myself, they all felt pretty much the same. Anyway, the further you go and the more missions you complete, the more money you have available to purchase the better planes. You can buy new planes all day long, but I think the best-spent money is on a wingman. You have the option on some missions to hire a wingman and give him directions.
If my mission included erasing a ground target, I would command my wingman to engage enemy aircraft so I only needed to concentrate on the ground targets and not the other aircraft. Don't get me wrong. You will still have to fight off your share of aircraft, but at least you have help. This helped me out more than any fancy new airplane ever could. One of the things that makes Ace Combat 2 cool is the environments you will fly through. You will fly above mountains, through river valleys, in the middle of cities and over water.
Every one of these terrains changes the whole complexity of the game. For example, some missions require you to fly low through a deep river valley because the enemy has surface-to-air missiles that would knock you out of the sky so fast you would not know what hit you. So you are forced to stay below radar, and the only way to do this is to fly inside the valley. This means your focus is not only on the enemy, but also on not crashing into the wall.
One of the coolest missions places you in a city with a harbor. You are fighting ships docked in the bay, taking out bridges to stop traffic and flying between skyscrapers. That is a total rush.
One thing I did not understand was occasionally you were asked to land your plane either on a landing strip or an aircraft carrier. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely. Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
Plus, the quantity of planes in AC3E has nearly doubled from the previous games. You'll use your planes in a near-future setting--as opposed to the "small country" settings of the previous two-- where a new world order has come to power. You'll be able to tackle the challenge with your new craft and various topnotch weapons like guided missiles and machine guns.
Unlike Ace Combat 2 where you were allowed to choose a different path only once during the game, AC3E allows you to choose multiple paths, each of which will affect the game's outcome.
Will you soar with the eagles or flounder with the turkeys? Ace Combat 3 will be looking for a few good pilots this summer. Ace Combat known as Air Combat in the U. However, there's also a lot of politics crowding the screen, which sometimes bogs down this supersonic flight.
This time around, you're sort of a high-altitude policeman whose task is to battle the evil forces of General Resource, a money-grubbing mega-corporation that dominates the Ace Combat world. Ace puts you at the controls of a formidable squadron of aircraft As in all AC games, you fly with familiar behind-the-jet or inside-the-cockpit views, and the easy-to-read radar and slick heads-up display enable you to track bogies until you're within range to launch missiles.
Early on. Aces solid controls enable you to turn and burn. Ace Combats a visual tour de force with nicely tuned audio--but sometimes that's a problem. The gameplay graphics and views are excellent, but to get to the action, you plod through a dizzying multimedia news-feed similar to Soviet Strike that updates the ever-changing political climate.
This being the Japanese version, it's maddeningly long. When you get to the actual combat. Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere is aces all the way. There's probably a complex and compelling story line here, too--hopefully the English-language version due here in early will make it a plus, not a minus.
No doubt about it: The third Ace Combat game is easily the most visually thrilling flight title on the PlayStation. From the detailed cities to the wavy glint cast by the sun and moon on the sea streaking below, the wild blue yonder's wonders have never looked more realistic.
It's just a shame the rest of the game feels like a step backward for the series. Namco's cut-rate translation is the main culprit here. For instance, the game offers eighteen different jets, each with its own attributes and unique armaments, and there are eighteen total missions.
The AI is also notable as the enemy jet pilots can put up fierce battles, sometimes requiring multiple missiles to finally take them out. Getting a lock on target isn't always enough, as they will lose seeking missiles and sneak around behind you if you're not careful.
The actual missions themselves leave something to be desired, as they do increase in difficulty but are fairly simple to complete. Every once in a while you may find yourself stuck on one, but generally they fall out without too much effort. The other issue is that on many of the missions, you're attacking ground targets. There are almost always other jets attacking you, but if you ignore them and focus on the ground, the jets are rarely more than a nuisance.
This is unfortunate, but it doesn't take as much from the game as it could due to the other aspects of gameplay. Even when the missions are slightly mundane, it's still exciting to fly around and attack whatever is within range.
While you're actually flying during a mission, the interface definitely helps pull the experience together. It even lets you choose from three different views.
The first person screen gives a pilot's view with a pitch scale showing the horizon, altitude bar, current speed and targeting system. The HUD screen gives the same interface, but removes the cockpit, and the third-person view shows the whole jet without the pitch scale.
Each of these views is usable and it's worthwhile to change between them various times during a mission, as they let you play the game from different points of view.
To hold things together, the game uses cut scenes to tell an interesting story about a boy whose family was killed when a friendly jet was shot down, landing on his home. Although it's not clear at first if you're the boy or if they're just building drama by using his story, it is a unique way to help immerse you in the game.
Most flight simulators don't even attempt to tell any story other than what's in the missions themselves, making it mostly a military campaign. Ace Combat 04 , however, shows a different side of war, which is that of an orphaned boy in a town that has been taken over by the enemy.
