Ace combat was recommended to me from a mutal friend who was showing me flight games on his stream, I liked the gameplay of it and bought it when it went on sale, I had a idea what kind of game it was from the stream and also I finished Project Wingman before it. When I loaded into the game and went into the 1st mission I had a hard time but got used to it very fast, The music captured my interest and I wanted to hear more mission themes, the story with Trigger going through different squads and being blamed for the ex president's death had me like what the fuck kind of twist just happened?, I enjoyed the layouts of the missions BESIDES defending mckinsey I HATED him, The selections of planes always had me thinking which one I should use and tried using most of them and get a feel for them with different SP weapons and parts, I eventually got the F22 Raptor and it was wraps for the rest of the game and replaying the game but the best part was doing the different maneuvers such as cobra maneuver and kulbit maneuver. Fav mission was between Lighthouse or Last Hope they gave me CHILLS and always love going back and playing them again and again, Mr X was very fun to go against every time trying to be on his tail while he does crazy moves dodging my missiles and machine gun, The fight when he's in the X02 gave me chills and I had a bit of trouble but cooked him anyways, I think it was a fitting end for him and felt bad for him in the end since the skies were all he wanted to be at. The final mission had me fucked up trying to catch them annoying ass drones and the twist with them able to "shred their wings" and have a smaller drone try to upload my data to the rest of the drones was crazy and going into the tunnel and out the space elevator was something I never seen in a game before and solidified the rating for me. If you read this then please play this game and before I end this entry, I love Count's character he's my GOAT.
