    The storyline is quite interesting, and told in a rather unique way. Instead of telling the story of your character (a pilot who is never actually defined in any detail), the storyline follows a child whose hometown is occupied by the Erusians at the start of the war. His story (told through the cutscenes) and your story (told through the gameplay) move separately, but at some points (I won't tell you when) intertwine. Need I say more? In the interests of keeping the... Read more

    Alright, let's cut to the chase on this one. Can anyone say 'exhilarating graphics?' I know I sure can, and I have plenty of reasons to after seeing Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies . Everything on AC4 looks amazing. The mountains dense with vegetation strengthen the ground, while sparkling rivers wind their way effortlessly through the ranges.

    Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies is a highly enjoyable, well-executed flight sim that perfectly blends the action elements found in the series' earlier games with the sort of narrative typically reserved for other genres. Read more

Not Only It's Almost Realistic, The Fun Of Being In A Cockpit On Different Advanced Airplanes Is More Than I Can Imagine... I Put The Receiver Into "prologic Surround Mode" And Blast Away Through All The Missions. And Then, Watch What You've Done Through Each Mission. You Just Sit There And Wonder -... Read more
