Not quite, the game has a whole tutorial section that they skipped that explains it all.   Still a bad game though. "

Actually Sky Crawlers was very well received and received a great deal of hype because of it (the game was out for a while in Japan). "

Yaw'll need to lead better. 
 
Anyway, I saw the Sky Crawlers anime. It was the most 1940's french noir film i've seen since "The Red Balloon"

So it's got a mix of WWII style prop fighters with a 1970s era missile Lock-on style HUD for targeting. . . that's just weird!

Same creators as Ace Combat? OH i should've  watched the next 3 seconds. I loved Ace Combat 4. Any out for PS3?

"For those wondering about Brad's question of this being set in real Europe instead of fictional Europe. He's kind of right, The Sky Crawlers actually takes place in alternate history Europe. I'm guessing this is based on the film, since it came out two years ago, but the basic premise is the world is at peace but to satiate the needs of a people used to nothing but warfare private corporations contract pilots to stage dog fights against each other regularly. It could also be based on the original novel series, which I assume shares a similar storyline.
@Hinamotto: Ya that's exactly what I was thinking watching this. "

I love how Ryan's idea of anime is solely Speed Racer, a show that was made over 40 years ago. Ignorance is bliss.

The whole concept that someone can appreciate this game having played it myself seems beyond odd. The only way you can effectively play this game is to get in range of a enemy plane fill up the manoeuvre meter press A and hold Z to gun them down and go to the next plane and that around 30 or more times to complete a mission. Trying to take enemy planes out by simply dogfighting will only get you past the first few missions. If someone really wants to play it they should probably rent it and see for themselves before buying it. "

looks a lot like the last Ace Combat but with lamer plans and on the Wii. I could use another full Ace Combat game with some kick ass fighter jets and some sweet missile and bombs.

the fact that this game is made considerably more playable by

I'll just wait for Ace Combat 7 on the 360. I prefer modern day planes to WWII planes and the Wii controls seems kind of bad.

The game looks alright.

Wiifail.

Lack of barrel rolls is apparent

nah I prefer when quick looks are raw, that's the whole point anyway. And to prove my point notice how quick looks where some dude outside the staff who works on the game are boring or at least not as good as the standard ones. "

"That guy's siderburns are DEEP."

I can't agree more that quick looks need to stay unrehearsed, and have the "live demo" feel. If it was actually rehearsed, that eliminates the whole point of the "pop the game in, experience the game as if you were playing it the first time as it was" sort of thing. Save the rehearsed stuff for the video reviews.

If it's anything like other Ace Combat games, I'm guessing if you can change the control scheme from basic or normal to the advanced setting, it include yaw and roll as separate things so you have full control of that, rather than the simplistic turning shown here. "

That eagle needs to do a barrel roll.

This is garbage.

Ace Combat 7 required.

Rostock's a German city. No idea wether that game's set in Germany though.
 
The more you know!
 
Edit: k, JUST watched the last 30 seconds. Goddamn.

Does look similar to Ace Combat. Also sounds very similar. He needs to lead better >.> 
 
Man, even the after-mission-path screen is Ace Combat.
 
And to the people saying he was shooting at allies: No, the targets are Green in the Ace games, and it seems the similar here. It only turns red when you lock on with missiles (well, again, in the AC games). And he totally killed the random, non-mission-essential targets first. The targets with the red TGT next to them are the mission-specific ones. The green ones will just keep respawning.

Anime has sucked for a long time, and people into shitty anime are why other people hate anime and anime fans.  I long for the days of shows about robots, aliens, and dudes beating the shit out of each other, not sexualized adolescents with magic powers.  Anime is dead to those that remember how good it used to be.

Another band of mercenary fighter pilots? So this is basically Area 88, but World War 2-era, right?

WHY DO YOU FLY?!

I know it's totally kewl to hate on anime now, but Ryan needs to let up a little... it starts to get obnoxious when he keeps harping on it. 

" The movie was excellent. The game seems to be most not excellent. "

So this is what Project Aces has been doing instead of what they should be doing (Making Ace Combat 7)

Thank you for sharing your opinion.  Have you actually tried the game, or are you basing it entirely off of Ryan's inept playing? "

Nope and I really don't want to.  Ace Combat 6 was a disappointment (worse than 4, 5, and 6) and this just looks to further the fact that Namco Bandai has no idea what they're doing this generation.  I've seen some other gameplay and it just looks boring and those cutscenes are just bad bad bad.  I can't think of the last arcadey flight game that was actually decent.  AC6 was bad, Blazing Angels is terrible, HAWX was a mess, and...uh...that's it?

 4, 5, and 0.  And yes you got me I'm literally a troll and not someone that's played all of those games.  Let's judge everyone by how many times they post yes that won't make me seem like a petulant child. "

Well, you certainly write like one. "

I've never liked these flight combat games. Shooting dots in the sky has always bored me.

Yeah, the movie was good.  This doesn't look like it expands on any of the story though.It really does seem like just another air combat game, and that doesn't interest me at all. "

Great quick look
