3DS Critic Reviews

A true example of how the 3D effect can enhance games, with both a compelling narrative and gameplay structure, and plenty of reason to take back to the skies after finishing.

Ace Combat Horizon Legacy Plus is exactly what you want from the series: Ace Combat on the go. This new version isn't essential if you have the original 2011 release, but if you've never bought the game, the new Amiibo support and other features make the Plus edition the one to own.

Thrilling mechanics, plentiful missions and robust unlocks make it the Top Gun for genre fans who own the system.

Though it can't quite hide the fact that it's a 2011 game here in 2015, the new amiibo support and the strength of the existing game design have combined to make Assault Horizon Legacy+ a winner for a second time. [Issue #14: Old vs. New – March/April 2015, p.70]

A new revision of the classic dogfight arcade already released on Nintendo 3DS. Amiibo and New Nintendo 3DS compatibility are the best new “tricks” included.

This is a lazy port of a four year old game. The good news is: Assault Horizon Legacy was a good game back in 2011 and it's still enjoyable today.

Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy+ is a minor and slightly cheeky update - despite Nintendo planes and amiibo support it's certainly not worth a double dip for those with the original.

A solid new entry in the beloved saga that presents some technical problems. New players will have a fun experience, but maybe, the veterans will complain about the design and game mechanics decisions.

If you haven't played Assault Horizon Legacy and you have a New 3DS, this is the version to get. The additions aren’t major, but this version is the definitive one, as long as you own a New 3DS.

This title won’t win any awards for ingenuity, but it will provide any gamers who like to casually call each other “Ice Man” and “Maverick” with plenty of bonehead blowin’ up fun.
