Ace Combat 5: Pushing the Envelope
"Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War" keeps the Ace Combat series tradition of getting the most out of the Playstation 2 platform alive and well. Gameplay is compelling, and for flight lovers, the photo-realistic rendering engine using rich landscape textures and stunning details for aircraft provides visual delight.
Perhaps Namco's game tagline, "Nothing Else Comes Close," is the best summary for this edition...at this point. Let's hope the folks at Namco keep pushing things along. The latest version of the series provides an intriguing glimpse regarding possible future flight forms, including the massive low orbital aircraft and the ADF-01 Falken. The Falken image below shows the high detail and backstory that shapes the Ace Combat 5 world. Images share a surreal yet hyper-real quality.
