As cool as fighters jets might be, they've always presented a unique challenge for game developers in one key regard: repetition. Simply put, you can only swoop around and shoot down so many bandits before it starts to get tiring. Seemingly aware of th...
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is a good all-around package, but I expect that it will sneak under the radar now that the Autumn release season is in full swing. It's a shame, because the single-player is every bit the addictive sugar rush that Modern War...

There aren’t many flight combat games around on the videogames scene, so if you know any at all, chances it’s one in the Ace Combat series. Offering wannabe Mavericks some beautifully detailed and faithfully modelled aircraft to fly, the Japanese-prod...

There's a sweet spot somewhere between the flap-tweaking tedium of a hardcore flight sim and the inane tail-chasing and button bashing of most flight shoot 'em ups. In the past the Ace Combat games have come closer to scoring a direct hit on that tar...

PlayStation 3The games of the Ace Combat series have never tried to be flight sims but they have always felt as if they had the same respect for the super-engineered and precise machines, along with the men and women who fly them. Players of the Ace Co...

It didn't hit me until I started getting into the current game, but it's been too long since we got an Ace Combat. Some of you may have got your fix with the PSP version last year, but for console gamers (especially PS3 centric ones), Ace Combat has be...
I’m not the biggest Ace Combat fan, so maybe that’s why the changes in Assault Horizon intrigued me. It’s not as well polished as previous games, but this new step is more interesting than if it had been yet another Ace Combat game. Dogfights are excit...

With Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, a respected series takes a nose-dive...

Unfortunately, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is too far removed from the series to feel like an actual Ace Combat game. The high quality of the aircraft renditions, stunning scenery, and excellent aircraft sounds reflect the developer's great attention t...
