"The quiet serenity of a cloudless day in Gracemeria is suddenly shattered by a thunderous explosion destroying part of the city’s landmark, King’s Bridge. Estovakian forces have begun an all-out assault on Emmeria. As leader of Garruda team, along with the entire Emmerian air force, you are charged with defense of your homeland and neutralizing the Estovakian threat."
Overall: "They took out King's bridge!". Time for you as an upstart Garuda pilot to scramble to a surprise attack by Estovakian forces on the Emmerian capital of Gracemeria which leads to an all of airial dogfight between the two countries. Ace Combat 6 is an Xbox 360 exclusive and airial combat simply does not get any better than this. The Ace Combat series started out 15 years ago and Namco Bandai has consistantly put out stellar titles. Ace Combat 6 is no exception. Gameplay: You are a pilot in the Emmerian air force. Your capital city of Gracemaria is under attack. Your air force is vastly outnumbered by Estovakian planes. Ace Combat 6 features authentic planes in stunning photorealistic detail. Thera are literally hundreds of aircraft onscreen at any given time as the game rolls along at a seamless frame-rate. The controls are spot on as is the A.I. Time to dance with the angels. Graphics: Most games claim to have "stunning", "realistic", or "next gen" graphics. Some games hit their mark while others fall short. Ace Combat 6 claims to have "photorealistic" graphics and in every sense of the word it does. Impressive since the combat arena is so large in scale and the planes are so plentiful. On an HDTV, graphics don't get any better than this. Sound: There is the constant radio chatter from your squad and the enemy that is in real time and in context with what is happening onscreen. There are constant sounds of warnings, the roar of aircraft kicking it into high gear, explosions and general mayhem. Fans of the series will be accustomed to the game dialogue, those dancing with the angels for the first time may consider some of the dialogue to be over the top. Suggestions: There are already downloadable planes for Ace Combat 6. Nice work Namco. The developer has fine tuned their skills into making each game in the Ace Combat series a thrilling airial adventure. No doubt with the success of the Xbox 360 console and the popularity of the Ace Combat series, 360 owners will be enjoying stand out titles like this one for years to come. The only suggestion is give the gamer the option to turn off the in game music without muting the dialogue in cut scenes.
