Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation (Platinum Hits) (Xbox 360)

Ace Combat 6 is an outstanding game andbrings all the great things about the series to a next-generation gaming console. It is based on a war between two countries, it seems as if it is between two countries like the US or UK, your country versus Russia, the enemy.

The visuals are absolutely stunning and it is able to be displayed in Full HD, 1080p. The levels are detailed and expansive. Xbox Live allows online line play and downloading additional variations of aircraft.You now have the ability to command your wingman and sometimes your forces to do things such as attack or cover.

There are many different levels of difficulty, so that both a new gamer and a competitive professional can have fun. The game is intentionally single player; however, you can play cooperatively over Xbox Live.

One thing that is dissapointing compared to the previous games is that it only has 15-20 aircraft types. However, the ones that are included are fantasic and very popular. The only opposistion to this game is Tom Clancy's HAWX, which is horribly nonrealistic and has low quality graphics.

There is a reason that this game is a platinum hit; it is because it is an overall excellent game!!

I have played all the Ace Combat series game and this is by far the best yet. It's graphics on the XBox 360 are amazing first off and I have have the pleasure of flying on a 50" plasma which is just the best. You can save your favorite replays of missions. The missions themselves are much more interesting in that many of them have multiple operations going on at the same time and by accomplishing mission objectives you can call upon allies to help out in defense or attacks with you. The story line is good and I'm playing it through a second time now trying to win various medals I didn't achieve the first time through. Stategy and choosing the right plane and weapons is important for success although there is also a medal for keeping the same plane throughout the entire campaigne for which I have chosen the Raptor as my plane of choice. If you love Ace Combat you won't be disappointed with Ace Combat 6.

So, the ACE series finally comes to the next generation. It has been a long wait, that in my opinion was worth it.

My favorite part of the whole game so far ( I am still playing it) is the abality to call for either Allied Attacks or Allied Cover. As in the past it would always be up to you to take out everthing either land, sea, or air. Now you actually get help. And they actually take out stuff or cover you if you are getting fired at.

The planes are the same as all of the other Ace Combat games, graphically they are sharper but nothing new. I will say that your planes are now more equiped with a huge payload of special weapons and regular missles, not the case in the old games. If you run out of ammo you can go back to the base and restock up, which was not the case in AC5. I am glad they brought that one back.

Missions are alot better than before, here you actually get to fight for longer than five minutes, I would say on average the missions last anywhere from 20-30 minutes, I am only on mission 10 so I dont know how many missions the game has.

Graphics are much imporved from the old series. When your plane gets hit by a bullet for example a little amber will be burning where you got hit for a moment, then it smolders out. Explosions are awesome, and the terrain looks pretty real.

As a fan of the series I am very happy, and I can see for me, this game will have a good replay value to it.

Story line, what can I say it's Ace Combat they have never been known for a great storyline, they could have done alot more with this, I thought they would seeing how it's next gen and all.
