Play Issue 1 PlayStation Uncredited 79% All well and good. But here's the catch, it's just a bit too simple, y'know, fly from A to B, shoot C and D, dodge E and hear the words 'mission accomplished'. True, on later levels it's more a case of fly from A to B, shoot C, D, E, and F, dodge G and H and hear the words 'mission accomplished' but, well, it's all a bit 80s isn't it? Hey, it's great that it's easy to get into, but couldn't there have been a bit more to, well, get into? Adding insult to injury, the split-screen two player option detracts from the game's good points - the looks. Shame really, Ace Combat is a massively good game that didn't actually get to happen. Roll on Ace Combat 2.
