Great game, best in series....BUT hampered by surprising lack of Jets to fly. Decent MP as well.

As a diehard Ace Combat fan (I own every game in the series, and love them all) I was super excited to finally get to play a next-gen AC. Graphically. theis game is one of the best looking games on 360, with every aircraft looking outstanding, and watchin missile trails and contrails lookin equally lifelike, though at close distance some of the terrain looks blurry and undetailed. The game delivers nothing really innovative as far as new game mechanics, with the only notable new features being the aliied support and high-g turns. The Story is also nothing out of what you would expect from an Ace Combat Game, with the same standard Western country (Emmeria) being invaded by the same standard soviet-esk country (Estovakia), and it is up to one ace pilot to single handedly win the war. But you never play these games for the story, you play them for the thrill of the dogfight, and AC6 does not disapoint one bit, with massive dogfights and plenty of targets to destroy. The game is given decent replayability, with muliple playthroughs required to beat every sub-mission and defeat every named aircraft. The multiplayer is something i was really looking forward to, but it is a first attempt at an online MP for the series and shows it with the pretty shallow games types (DM, Team DM, defend the base, and two Co-op missions), but it is a pretty solid first try and is pretty fun to play.
The only bad thing I could find with this game was the surprising lack of flyable Aircraft, the Fan favorites were there such as the A-10 and F-22, but where were the Mig 29, or SU-37? All in all I would say that despite it s lack of jets this is the best showing of Ace Combat yet, or at least tied with AC5.
