    el Air Combat está bien para la época, aunque obviamente ha envejecido mal tiene una buena banda sonora y es divertido

    Ace Combat 2 es la evolución natural, pero también se queda corto, demasiado parecido al primero con Ace Combat 3 ya pegan el salto, el uso de dualshock le viene genial, mejores controles, objetivos más claros, mayor información aunque la historia no se entienda    el Air Combat está bien para la época, aunque obviamente ha envejecido mal tiene una buena banda sonora y es divertido

    con Ace Combat 3 ya pegan el salto, el uso de dualshock le viene genial, mejores controles, objetivos más claros, mayor información
    aunque la historia no se entienda nada, porque no sacaron la misma versión en todo el mundo, y el sistema de progresión sea mucho más plano

    grandes juegos de una de mis sagas favoritas, pero les pesan mucho los años
    tal vez vendría bien un remake al original, o a la versión japonesa de AC3    … Expand

    A big improvement over Air Combat visually and gameplay wise. The core mechanic is still the same and the way the missions play out are the same, but it's cool that you get to decide at one point which path to take when it comes to the missions. The AI surprised me for a 90's game when I realised that when you pursue them, specific aircraft such as the Su-35 can pull a cobra manoeuvre justA big improvement over Air Combat visually and gameplay wise.

The AI surprised me for a 90's game when I realised that when you pursue them, specific aircraft such as the Su-35 can pull a cobra manoeuvre just to get behind you in a dogfight. Graphics wise, the scenery of the missions and the colour palette improved drastically and adds character to the missions and the atmosphere. Very good sequel to Air Combat, would recommend playing.… Expand

    Ace Combat 2 possesses some of the cleanest polygons ever to grace the PlayStation. This game possesses fully rendered levels ranging from submarine infested oceans, to anti-aircraft plastered canyon trenches.

    There has not been a flight combat sim released on any console system that can even come close to the quality and value of this title.

    This game has some of the most simplistic controls and easiest flying system around. Outstanding graphics and intense gameplay make this game fun that will last for a while.
