Ace Combat series FTW. There is nothing that can top it. Also. Has anyone played infinity? Is it any good?

  • I'm talking about [i][b]arcade[/b][/i]-style flight sims; games that prioritize action over realistic flight mechanics. Also, never heard of Infinity.

    Air Combat, which later became Ace Combat 2 as released for PS1 was originally an arcade console, and didn't change much at all for the PS1. The American release of Ace Combat 3 was also much more like an arcade style game, however, the Japan release, included a storyline, and Mass Effect style gameplay choices, that allowed the player to determine the outcome of that story. It also had anime cutscenes, a prequel anime movie, and special color schemes for planes that could be unlocked. They left the arcade style when 4 came out, but they brought back an "Arcade Mode" with Ace Combat 5, which was incredibly fun, and again in Ace Combat Zero, with the special mission "The Gauntlet" in which you basically go into firefight mode, facing off with every boss squadron in waves. I would also like to point out, that Ace Combat was made by NAMCO, and if you've played any of the older ones (pre AH), you'll find that it feels very, very much like an arcade sim. Edit: My mistake. There was in fact, an arcade mode in AC04. I keep forgetting about that, cause I could never get very far on it. Edit 2: physics basically goes out the window with ace combat, but the gameplay Is intense, and the post AC3 games all have gripping storylines.
