Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies - Circa 2002

GOOD:
- A good mix or simulation style and arcade fun
- Nice mission variety, good amount of air craft to unlock

BAD:
- Might play to much like arcade or to simulation for some
- Story is a little bland

IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
- Takes place in a fictional world similar to our own with the same aircraft as our own
- Game is broken up into missions (levels) in which you follow objectives and earn points to unlock new aircraft
- Certain missions are much easier with certain aircraft, example slow ground based missions' call for the A-10 and fast air-to-air missions call for the Y-F22, but you can still use any jet fighter you want on any level (so you never feel pigeon holed)

GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere
- Lethal Skies
- Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- All the fighter aircraft in this game are replica of real life fighter aircraft
- This game also comes with a two player spilt screen versus mode

4.0 out of 5 stars amazing graphics!!!!!!!!!!!!!, January 1, 2006

okay, so there are a lot of cons that I should mention. 36 missles and 4 bombs per wing may be a tad unrealistic, and being able to take 3 missle hits before going down may also be a little extreme, but the graphics are just too amazing! They have done a terrific job on the scenery. This game was pretty addictive for me. Every one or two missions, there would be this little japanese anime story about this dude growing up during the war, and some pilot named "yellow 13", i dunno, I didnt really pay attention to it. Moving on. The missions really didnt get that much harder as you moved on, and after you beat the game, your left with, now what? All there really is to do is play missions. I'd give it a thumbs up for the graphics, but a thumbs down for the plot.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good, If Difficult, Combat Flight Simulator, December 13, 2008

Although this game is kind of old, I believe that it is still a very good game worthy of getting for anything under $20. I bought it at this price and was extremely satisfied. It is a very difficult game, however, and I have only been able to beat it on easy even though I am a vetran player of CFS games,and have even survived in Janes USAF. If you like CFS games, this is definately one for you.

P.S. This is the first CFS game that I ever played so I may be being a little bias when I say that this game is Awsome!
