In AC0,the game starts in the Belkan war,which is before the whole storyline of AC5.You play as a Mercenary from Osea,Cipher the main character and is accompanied by one wingman,pixie.So in this whole game its just you and pixie,an army of two,which allows for more intense fighting and more dependence on what you can do.But what really separates AC0 from the rest of the series is that YOU shape the story.If your just a ruthless killer,you change the whole story and more vicious Enemy Squads will face you,Or if your a Honorable pilot and let wounded enemy's leave,then that also alters the story.As i said before...The story changes to you and your fighting style.Now to the real business,the Dog fights.The Aerial Fights is this game is just amazing.Everyone is after you and pixie,enemy Squads will face you again and again up to 7 man squad and its up tp you to end there career.Sounds pretty awesome doesn't it? well the storyline is complex and great as ever.It literally kept me playing the game till i finished it.and just like the previous AC's, the ending in AC0 is Awe inspiring.It was probably one of the greatest ending i've seen in this series yet,really.And when your done with the game there is multiple ways for you to keep playing,you can try to unlock more cut scenes,unlock extra jets and get more medals.But overall,this game is a must for anyone into Jet sims or even new people to the genre.
