Without a doubt the best flight sim available for a next-gen system. Ace Combat 04 shatters the competition.

Spectacular. Is it simple? Yeah, it's about 23 years old. But like every AC game it makes you feel great by the time you've come to the end and it captures that feeling better than nearly every other franchise I've played.

The arcade gameplay retains the Ace Combat trademarks: tons of firepower and a simple control scheme.

The best flight game ever made.

This is probably as close as a game is going to get to realistically portray what it’s like to get behind the helm of a fighter jet and waging battle in the air. Even though the game is over a year old and at a measly $20.00, Ace Combat 4 is a must have for the Playstation 2.

A combination of good graphics, excellent game play, a compelling story and a worthwhile soundtrack make this an essential purchase for fans of the genre.

Accessible and exciting. It's also disappointingly easy.

It was a good game at its time, but when I replaying it it didn't have the same feel anymore, maybe the nostalgia didn't kick in for me. Overall, still a good fighter jet game and I still having fun with it.

game developers and producers do not deny even this is a **** game Where in war times saw timer either aviation war iron land war or naval war the timer has been exceeded by never because it is exaggerated small weapons are not actually can not advance not at all It's not worth playing this garbage better missing something like that You can't slap him on the cheek American aviation nothing else I don't do that if I were in charge because you don't have a stopwatch when you fight a foreign enemy the only goal is whispering to beat him not to compete with him to beat him and for that you don't need a stopwatch you have to have Wikipedia to help you what in this game is not it happens to revolve around enemies without even pulling light forms Nae and the like. There is no war if your colleague does not help you and leaves you prey to the enemies. if I was in charge of the American Aviation, he forbade you this game and the one who developed this game should not develop games his life because that would have been a rest in the memory of those who fought with aviation and not only that is done in other games which is not where you can deal with a stopwatch not something like that because the enemy invites you continuously depends on How I manage to catch the enemy does not depend on the stopwatch does not exceed you straight line that arrives first on arrival Here it is which also wins here and we were looking for the meter together than in the sick minds of the developers there will probably be a stopwatch that always ticks you know it's
