Ace Combat 04
I find most vehicle based games end up suffering from the same problems, the mission design doesn’t end up having enough variety and the game becomes very stale after a short period of time. Well, that wasn’t the case with Ace Combat 04, which offered the best mission variety of any vehicle based game in existence. I’m sure many of you understand the concept of a tightly shot movie, where every scene seems to have a purpose and there really isn’t any wasted time, thats kind of how I feel about Ace Combat 04.
Every mission in the game just felt like it had a purpose, even if it was just to throw one gameplay curve ball at you. But between bombing missions, dogfighting missions, flying at night, shooting down bombers, protect missions, having to fly without radar, being forced to fly through canyons, lower your elevation…every mission seemed to just have something new for you to do. On top of all this, it much like most quality Japanese games, had a great story to accompany it…which if you played the game you would know was actually presented in a very interesting way. I still recommend this game to people who don’t even like flight combat games, it’s just a very very high quality title.
