I accidentally stumbled across Aero Elite at a GameCrazy one day - but had never even heard of it. The price was marked $12.99. I read the description on the back and thought.. "Well, what the heck - it might be fun to just have around and the price is decent." Being an avid fan of the Ace Combat series and even reaching into the combat flying sim abyss with Top Gun and Bogey: Dead Six (Anyone remember that one??) I figured 1 more pretend flight sim couldn't hurt the collection...
And then I played Aero Elite for the first time..... and haven't touched another flight-related title since.
Having always wanted to be either a Navy or Air Force pilot and having searched fervently for the best flight sims possible on a console station, Aero Elite was the perfect match!
Beware of all the "critics" of this game that bash the gameplay, the physics, the realism engine and who whine about the Training Mode. This is not a game - this is a combat flight simulator. From over 60 planes to choose from (yes, you have to unlock 90% of them by completing Scramble Missions and Training Modes) - take-offs - landings - dogfighting - air to ground missions - free flight - carrier-based missions - a head-to-head death match and Aero Meet 2002 (various competition missions against AI), the replay value of this game is priceless.
Oh.. speaking of "replay" - none of the other reviews mention that you get to watch a replay of your entire previous flight from over 40 different camera angles! (OH YEAH, BABY!!)
The Bottom Line is This: Aero Elite Combat Academy is the best (and only) true combat flight simulator in the console world today. In addition to the myriad of planes available, there are also rotary-wing craft (3 helicopters including the Cobra and the AH-64 Apache) that are the true jewels of this simulator. ((Wanna REAL fun challenge?? Try landing the US-1A on the dam lake at Base Island at night! What a rush!!)) With continual practice and patience, this sim will reward you like no other.
No game collection is complete without Aero Elite.
Oh... one more "fruit" for thought.... if the critics of this simulator are correct - then why is Aero Elite so difficult to come by? And even if you do find it on sites like this one, then why is the price marked so high? That in itself speaks more volume than anything anyone could write about it.
Happy Flying!!
