    Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy Plus will definitely appeal to aviation aficionados who happen to game as well, but not to many other gamers. Either way, the “Plus” feels like a misnomer—the title doesn't offer enough new or entertaining features to justify a full-price purchase point for a four-year-old marginally average game.

    Back to 2011, Assault Horizon Legacy already appeared as a deception for all the fans of the franchise. This New 3DS version doesn't change a thing. It still lacks of intensity and skill. And there are not enough fresh features to justify its purchase.

    This game is an update to Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy, that was launched on par with the New 3DS (a new and more powerful model of 3DS)This game is an update to Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy, that was launched on par with the New 3DS (a new and more powerful model of 3DS) in 2015. As such, this "enhanced version" features a couple of discrete additions, like Amiibo support (to unlock planes) and using the right stick to control the camera. The 3D effect is well done, but I tested it only with the N3DS.

    In the game's main mode, Missions, you are in the role of 'Phoenix', a very skilled pilot who has to fight the rebels in order to reestablish government's control of the country. It means you'll have to fight against rebel planes, ships and terrestrial defenses in order to complete your missions. This will give you around 5 to 10 hours, depending on the difficulty and how precise you are.

    The controls are responsive depending on the plane you choose and that can vary a lot.
    The extra modes (challenges), will add a couple of hours of gameplay, also unlocking some new stuff. There is also a theater mode where you can watch saved videos if you saved that gameplay when asked for.

    The game is fun, but it lacks things like multiplayer, a better use of the second stick and -maybe- a free flight mode to show off your cool new plane. I hope that, in the future, the next game from this franchise will add these features and deliver a more complete experience. The replayability is low, because after completing the game in all modes and levels, you will know every fight style of your enemies (the script), and the dialogs will start to become annoying.

    (I'm sorry if my English is too bad).    … Full Review »

    Nothing interesting, too primitive for those years. I would be very angry if I paid money for it

    I thought this was an awesome game. I loved the variety of aircraft (even the propeller aircraft).
