Not the best, but still great

Having been a veteran of the Ace Combat series, excluding the ones released for the original playstation, I was very eager to say the least, for this new ace combat to come out. I was impressed with Ace Combat 4, Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, and of course Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. So when Fires of Liberation came out, I was well pleased to go out and buy it. First off, this game is really no different from the other series. The usual story line of, your country is under attack and you have to save the day. I would like a ace combat game to come out though were the pilot you play as is the attacker, and invading some peaceful country. That would be an interesting twist. Anyways, the graphics are great, though the game still suffers from when you fly low and then the ground and buildings aren't as great as they seemed from high altitude. Some new add ons are the ability to call in squad mates on targets when you fill your bar and watch the dozens of missiles streak through the sky and blow up whatever you want them to. Its thrilling to watch. Some drawbacks, if you do notice is the fact there are very little planes to choice from in this one. I remember having around 30 planes in the older games. This one comes in around 15. Though considering once you get the F-22 or Su-47 your bound to never really use the other planes ever again...lol. The only thing I disliked about this game was the way the missions were lined out. You have to race back and forth assisting attacking comrades who don't seem to be able to sort things out on their own and I remember losing a battlefield because I was to engrossed in wiping out another particular field of operation. Though the game doesn't end when you lose an area of operation, but its still annoying. But it doesn't really take away from the game. The final mission, like the other games is thrilling and heart bounding. The soundtrack is great, and the controls are fine. If you like flight sims that involve combat, or any ace combat game. Then pick this one up.
