Ace Combat 6 Xbox 360 Singleplayer Review
What I Liked:
1. Amazing graphics all around. Best looking planes I’ve ever seen in a game. Some of the characters’ mouths can look a bit odd, but it’s no big deal.
2. Generally fun flight action gameplay.
3. Decent selection of aircraft to unlock and fly.
4. Special weapons are cool, and strike a compromise between arcade-like ease of use and realistic simulation. Example: The real life F-14 had a weapons system which could attack 6 different targets simultaneously with Phoenix missiles. In Ace Combat 6, your F-14 could use a long range air-to-air missile special weapon that could attack 6 targets at once.
What I Didn’t Like:
1. The dialog and radio chatter was HORRIBLE. Each mission had a constant stream of annoying chatter playing from start to finish. I wished for a way to shut them up.
2. I didn’t care much for the story during cut scenes.
3. Some missions and enemies just felt too “sci-fi” and/or “cheap”. The enemies used sci-fi style flying “battle-cruisers” or whatever, plus super zippy-quick futuristic aircraft that defied physics.
Yay: Again, the aircraft on this game look so fantastic, they are an aviation nut’s wet dream. +1
Gay: If I heard “Dance with the angels” or any of its variants ONE MORE TIME during that game, I was going to snap the disc in half, and then throw it in a blender. Once blended, I’d then set the pieces on fire. Then I’d throw the ashes in the toilet, take an explosive diarrhea on them, and then flush it all blissfully away. -1
Final BS Rating: +1 ALRIGHT
