Adults and kids with no jet flying game experience would probably have a blast. Just when you think you've cleared them, here come more. It's lock on and shoot, lock on and shoot. It quickly becomes really monotonous and repetitive t o do the close maneuver. The graphics and lay outs are excellent and there are plenty of great explosions. It's simplified to the point of a turkey shoot. You're locked in like a mini-arcade sequence. You try your best to get really close (markers light up on the enemy fighters as a prompt), press A and B to lock on and then you're right on their tail and can blast them out of the sky. When fighting Enemy Aces, it's the only way to get them. They've integrated a Close Combat mode for attacking enemy fighters. They've added missions for helicopter and bombers. But it's false advertising because this is not really an Ace Combat Game. If you're like me and a big fan of Air Combat 6 you'd be tempted to try this game. The geopolitically tumultuous plot line was written by Jim DeFelice, author of The Golden Flask, Leopards Kill, and other military thrillers. Along with a hanger of helicopters and bombers, missions make ample use of workhorse fighters such as the F-16, F-22, and F-35.
#Ace combat assault horizon for xbox 360 series
As in Joint Assault for PlayStation Portable, Assault Horizon takes place in a near-future imagining of the real world, instead of in fictional nations of the alternate-reality Earth where earlier games in the series are set.įlying for the United States Air Force, players engage in high-altitude battle and tactical support assignments, in airborne assaults against the nation's most dangerous enemies around the world. The game's story is not within the established narrative of the series' number-titled sequels. Multiplayer sorties are supported with competitive and cooperative online modes. Improvements to damage modeling viscerally intensify the widespread destruction of ground targets, and cutting-edge aircraft explode into countless constituent parts with a well-placed missile hit. Helicopters are prominently featured in the game, with players taking the roles of both pilot and gunner. Refinements include a "close range" combat system, which tests the virtual pilot's agility at supersonic speeds in 3D space. Following the series' proven formula, Assault Horizon combines fast, forgiving, arcade-style flight combat with authentically modeled aircraft and realistic background landscapes. Players fly into the future of a brave new world, as the richly detailed (but wholly unfriendly) skies of Namco's Ace Combat return to Xbox 360.
