The Bottom Line:
The best flight simulator game for a console.
rented Ace Combat 4 expecting not much out of it since I'm not a big Flight-Sim fan. I played the first level and got my mind boggled because of the controls(you get used to them). Anyway heres why this game is the best flight sim.
Music - 10.0
Awesome music that contains some of the best sound effects I've ever heard. Your can hear the effects of missiles fired, partners talking, enemies talking, and much more. Perfect sound quality all around. You can even hear the engine!
Graphics - 10.0
This game has incredible graphics. When you look at a plane they look perfect with great details. When you fire a missile you can even see a cool smoke trail! On the land below you the graphics are not perfect, but still very nice. You can even fly low and maneuver around the buildings! There is even the shadow of your plane on the ground below.
Gameplay - 9.0
Its fantastic, the game has many levels. Although I'm not sure how many (still playing it). The game is great mission briefings, buy aircraft, sell aircraft, buy weapons, sell weapons, and much more! They even have a Vs. mode you can play against your friends with, which is cool because most flight sims are only one player! The missions vary from air to air and air to ground targets.
Controls - 8.0
The controls made me go crazy at first, but after going into the tutorial mode for five minutes I figured them out. The thing that is very strange is that the D-Pad is not used for maneuvering the plane. Instead the analog sticks are used instead. Makes the game much more playable. I usually don't like the sticks so it took some getting used to. If your used to them the controls will be fine for you, but they take time to get used to.
Overall - 8.5
This game was very good, but after playing through twice the game may be boring if you don't have anyone to play against. I don't think the controls will be a problem for most people, but some like me it may be a small problem, but the graphics are amazing. Overall I think Ace Combat 4 deserves a 8.5/10!
Happy Flying!
