What our customer's say!

"Impressive", Although the game isn't much realistic, it's a great job from Namco. In my opinion it's the best AC series game. The plot is involving, and the music is awesome (specially the last, Agnus Dei is a classic, and will please everyone those who knows the history of this song).

"This Game Is Awesome", Like the title says This game is awesome.I mean the graphics are true to life and the weapons you can buy are great and the controls are easy to learn.

"good game", this is a great game i dream of being a pilot one day and this is worth your money the grafics arnt bad but they could be better

"Best game of the series.", Just adding my 2 cents' worth here. If you're new to the series or haven't played this before, by all means get yourself a copy and play it. You may wish to purchase it as it is fun to play again. The graphics are quite good, even when compared to Ace Combat 6. The story itself I thought was fun and I appreciated that the "enemy" was portrayed (at least one or some of them) as being honorable soldiers, even in their treatment of civilians working against them. The game has the right combination of length of mission, variety, fun, finishability (is there such a word?) and just enough frustration to keep it from being too easy. If you are brand-new, just starting the AC series, I would say to skip Air Combat (think of it as Ace Combat 1) and Ace Combat 3. Try AC-2 first. Of course, you won't go wrong by starting with AC-4. You will have more appreciation for the improvement in the game, though.

"Last board on AC4", I like the gave. but I always get stuck on the last board. I can't figure out how to destroy the first lane on the Megalith. I keep shooting it doesn't explode and then I can't find the next corridor if I don't explode something.

Any in Delaware that can give me advice?

"A little bit of flying heaven", You know, out of all the games I've played, I have to say Ace Combat 4 ranks rather high on my favorites list. Sequals since have come and gone with improved wingman and graphics, but none have matched the emotionally gripping story, unforgettable soundtrack, and the most epic and dramatic climactic battle sequence.

Everything in that game, from first flight to the most memorable final battle I've ever seen, is pure heaven. Every victory, every radio call, every element inside the missions contributes the buildup to the final battle. And the story told from a small boy's point of view makes you truely feel like you're making a difference in the war, and gives you insight into your arch-rival. A man whom is not evil, but who is simply a soldier on the other side of politics.

Even during the epic last battle as two wings of ace pilots clash amid a meteor storm, you hear dramatic radio calls back and forth as pilots get shot down and the battle progresses both in the air and on Megalith, the formidable ground installation.

Games have had more involving stories, longer gameplay, and better graphics, but none have had such a perfect blend of action, drama, fun, and such colorful soundtrack to go along with it all.

Ace Combat 4 is not simply a flight sim, it is an interactive masterpiece brought to you in a way that only an arcade flight sim can deliver. It is a game that takes you in and makes you want to go back and do it over and over again. Years and years after its original release and a full generation of consoles ago, I give Ace Combat 4 a full double 5-star rating.

Graphics: 5 - for that time period of games, these were excellent graphics. And really, the imperfections can be easily overlooked since you'll be spending a lot of time focusing on the enemy and avoiding hitting the ground.

Music - 5 - Good enough that I bought the soundtrack and still listen to it almost daily. The music meshes extremely well with the missions themselves, and there's a good lot of variety in the tracks. This isn't a game where you have a dozen remixes of one song, like Halo. Nor will you be tuning it out while you play. It gets your adrenaline going while never distracting you from your objective or overpowering the radio calls which contribute a lot to the gameplay.

Controls - 5 - Dual-analog controls work well, the planes respond well and smoothly to your imputs. Within minutes the entire layout becomes instinct. Very easy to use.

Story - 5 - Although the use of storyboards instead of true movie sequences brought on a lot of flak from other players, it was an interesting move and the pictures were very well done and the director used some other rather interesting elements to tell the story.

Playability - 5 - I've never encountered a glitch in all my times playing through the game. And there are plenty of difficulty levels for all players. Beating the original "hard" difficulty opens up another, harder difficulty level for real aces to try.

Replay - 5 - It's 2007 and I just played the game all the way through for the 18th time. Enough said.

"Great Fighter Combat Game...Except...", The fact that they have these lame Japanese-type comic book style cut scenes and awful voice over is why I didn't score this game a 5 out of 5.

I don't like the missions as being "made up". You can tell this game was made in Japan because the missions were kinda out there almost Metal Gear Solid-type stuff. Really unbelievable. They should've made the games more like the Navy Seals SOCOM series where you had threats that were real and in real locations. It's seemed too futuristic for me. What saved this game is the control, the combat, the missions, the weapons, the fact that you can buy additional air craft and you can actually replay the game from the beginning, keeping what you've bought and earned so far!!!

The cut scenes have this stupidly, out of place narration that thankfully can be skipped. However, the fact that they poisoned the game with that junk really is a shame.

But, I enjoy the game a lot. This is my second time playing it, this time, I'm going to try to earn a A rating on each mission. One time I even earned an "S" rating!!

After I finish this game, it's on to SOCOM III: Navy Seals!!!

"Challenging, not for dummies.", In scanning over the reviews, I can't believe no one mentioned that you basically work your way up to better planes and equiptment in this game and what that really means. In my view, this is one of the best aspects of the game because, at first, you're pretty much of a sitting duck in the crappy plane and weaponry you start out with; but then when you've kicked butt to the point that you have a greater wealth of choices in aircraft capability it starts getting as if you really are investing something in your choice and might actually go with a less 'capable' plane because of some particular aspect of a mission only that one is good for--outfly or out dogfight, better strategy or just sheer adrenaline, ....

Some of the planes are too manueverable, too fast, no good in tight spaces or no good at low altitude runs. No one superplane is good for even one third of the missions. This is basically what keeps playing the same missions over and over interesting and fresh, because as you try to accomplish the same mission in various planes you find there are drastically different advantages / disadvantages and that it influences how you go about the mission.

This game makes you use your head to succeed.

One thing I wish the Ace Combat series would come out with--I've only played Ace Combat 4 actually--is flight school. I don't think they need to give away top gun secrets to give people just a few pointers from experienced pilots.

"dissapointed", I played this game half year ago, and I have to say for me, an ace combat 3 fan, this game comes as a bit of dissapointment. Not that it's not good or anything, it's just not as good as I expected it would be. For one thing, it does not has a fasinating storyline as ac3 had. The players cannot interact with the world like what we did in ac3, we merely see the story unravels from two points of view, and the story is really way too simple. And the result is the game is really short, you can beat it under 10 hours if you have played its predecessor or you are an experienced gamer

"Not Much of A Review", Simply Amazing.
If you don't have it, i suggest buying it.

pros:
amazing
great story
