Ace Combat 6 Xbox 360

Top Gun might not have been an Oscar worthy film. However, there is one thing no young child can ever say they did not do: think they were the coolest person in the world when they heard 'Highway to the Danger Zone.' Throughout life, people have always wanted to be a pilot flying at break neck speeds saving those who need to be saved. Really, it should come as no surprise that people love flight simulator games.

The classic ace combat is replaced by unrealistic 'close combat gameplay'. Basically it takes 5-8 missles to destroy an enemy plane. If you are looking for the classic Ace Combat realism flight simulator this is not the game to get. This is the worst Ace Combat by far. Do Not Bother with this game! Just get any other Ace Combat!

Another area that Ace Combat 6 excels at is the various planes that you can pilot, including the F-15 Strike Eagle and F22 Raptor. While at first I was a little intimidated by how differently the planes would handle in accordance I have to admit that not once did I feel the controls were vastly different or horrendous to adjust to. It would have been nice to have greater ease functionality with the various planes, but I appreciate the lengths taken to authenticate that play.The single player mode is fun enough and will keep you playing for a bit, but the co-op missions you play will make you wish for some downloadable content in the near future for you and some friends. Co-op may be very similar to the regular missions, except for the one little feature of penalizations for having a friend fresh out of aviation school.

To clarify, when on your own and you die, you spawn and continue the mission as is more or less, but when accompanied by friends, your death will shave off some precious time in order to complete your mission. While it may not be perfect, it certainly is heading along the trails of making harmonious co-op gameplay in future installments.
