Much like Chicken Little before it, Ace in Action features rather large, surprisingly well-animated boss monsters, and just like Chicken Little before it, these bosses can be a downright bear with which to deal. Thankfully, in a game such as this, one is prepared for such difficulty, instead of it blindsiding you like in the earlier title.
-
For such a short game, a Little goes a long way as far as we’re concerned.

Play MagazineIt may be chock full of farm animals in space but Ace in Action deserves a spot alongside the DS's top shooters. [Jan. 2007, p.84]

Three types of laser-blasting fun: on foot, in a tank, and in a spaceship. The first two are pretty close in controls and level layout. They differ in speed and weapon type, but not much else. The last one – the spaceship – is a slow clone of the top-down, side-scrolling space shooter genre. It’s only fun you have something to blast.

Overreaching game/ Flies past a goal it can't see/ Out of bounds, chicken!

Nintendo PowerThe blasting can get a bit monotonous, especially when you just want to move forward. [Dec. 2006, p.110]
-
Ace in Action is a mindless shooter that’s too short, too easy, and a poor fit with the source material.
