First off let me say i was turned off by the negative reviews , and waited a bit for the games price to drop , picked up for 35 bucks and said "how bad could it be" i was blown away by the intensity of the gameplay , yes i am a Ace Combat fan , and was skeptical because of the bad reviews , that being said i have to admit this is a great addition, although diffrent from the rest its still has the core mechanics that the previous installments had , people have to understand games evolve sometimes for the worse sometimes for the better in this case it is better , pick it and give it a try it has a bit of a learning curve but once you learn how to dog fight u will be taking Bogeys out in time , Great Game i havnt played a game as intense as Assault Horizon in a longgggg time.

Overall, I honestly think that this game, while not fantastic, is a decent and solid addition to the Ace Combat game series. I will say that there were things that I did like about this game and there were things that really ticked me off. I loved how you could pilot other aircraft besides just fighter planes. I loved the missions where you got to pilot an AH-64 Apache Longbow and just reak havoc on the enemy forces. I will say though that I wasn't a big fan of the missions where you got to shoot from the side of a Black Hawk or an AC-130, those missions got old, fast! I will say that some of the missions just seemed to carry on so much longer than was necessary. I will say that the story and the characters in this game though felt a bit wanting in this game, compared to earlier titles. The story wasn't as deep and immerseful with twists, that you couldn't see coming that is, as AC5 for example. Also, I actually found the characters in this game to be really irritating to the point to where I wouldn't have given a gasp if they had gotten blown up. I will say that I loved the DFM in this game. Looking back, I'm a little surprised that I was alright with just how things were in the earlier games, but DFM makes the game feel more exciting and cinematic. I will say that it did get irritating to have to go through ten different DFM engagements for each mission. I also found myself at points to where I was cursing the fact that there was no pre-mission briefing. I realized how bad this was on one mission where I realized my plane was optimized for air-to-air combat and that the second half of the mission was trying to take out a bunch of ground forces. I loved the graphics during gameplay, but I absolutely loathed the graphics during the actual cinematic cutscenes. In AC5 and AC0 you had cinematic cutscenes that looked nearly realistic, but you can tell in this game that they didn't spend much time on the graphics of the cutscenes. As is expected, this Ace Combat game has a phenominal soundtrack! That is one thing that I come to expect from all Ace Combat games, is that they have stellar soundtracks that totally make me feel like I am there in the middle of the action, and this game did not let me down with heavy guitar riffs and solos and electronic synths. I heard "Gotta Stay Fly" and I couldn't stop listening to it for three days. While this game isn't a terrible game, it wasn't fantastic. What Project Aces did right in this game they did phenominally. Unfortunately, it just wasn't up to par with the earlier titles from this franchise. Honestly, I beat this game only four-ish hours after I purchased it from GameStop. I then proceeded to beat it on the hardest difficulty in about the same time, maybe a bit quicker. The game's lasting appeal is a bit skimpy, but I personally love this game and I think that any Ace Combat fan who is open minded should love it too, as well as anyone new to the Ace Combat franchise.

i've been playing the Ace Combat games since they were called air combat back on the ps1. They've all been good except this one. Most kills have to be made in the dog fight mode which is terrible and almost nauseating. The controls are terrible on default and even changing the to the 'original' style doesn't seem to help.

The helicopter missions are nice addition. The ac130 missions might as well be call of duty and really dont keep in line with the franchise. The visuals are amazing.

I bought the game on sat and 3 days later im trading it in cause its that bad that i dont even want it around. Even if GS only gives me 3 bucks for it i will be gald to get rid of this abomination.

I have always been fan of the ace combat series, until now. This game is bad in my perspective. Each mission follows the exact same path, shoot something in the sky, blow up stuff on the ground. Placing the campaign in the real world was a big mistake, I found it more intriguing when it was placed in a hypothetical unreal world. Ace combat 5 is definitely the best one ever made, too bad its on ps2 not Xbox. I really dont enjoy that they put multiplayer in to it. First off, it stinks, second it takes up disc space for a more intense, interesting, and longer campaign. This only had like 10 missions that were all identical. The campaign is kinda childish in a way. Your just fighting a bunch of russian criminals and Somali pirates with jets. What?!!!! Really? The only good things I have to say are that the soundtrack is decent. The only addition from other ace combat games is the asm/dfm modes. They add a bit of intensity to a bad game. This game is not worth it's price.. Long time fans of the ace combat series will be seriously dissapointed

I love flight sims period. I have nothing negative about this game except one thing. I have always hated the lame story lines they used in all the ace combat series. For once i would like ace combat to just make a flight sim and base it on reality. Show the real side to being a fighter pilot. Doing your pre flight check, emergency pre flight checks, require head set in order to get clearance from tower for take off. I want it to be real as real can get. Namco I know you have it in you, dont be scared. People will buy it.

This game is a lot of fun in the first two levels, but as soon that's over, it gets really violent and stupid. Like every other time you shoot somebody down, it goes into a long clip of the plane going down. Also, the missions are ridiculously long. All in all, a waste of $40.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers

i didnt like ace combat Assault Horizon becuse i thought that it was repedative and the missions were much too long, but for new ace combat fans they will probably disagree. I thought that the gameplay was good in all but consisted of only dogfights and missle evation. on the other hand new fans will probably think its fun and probably like it, but thats for you too descide. i thought that the graphics were better when you were the pilot of a helocopter rather than flying in a jet, dont get me wrong the graphics were still good its just you can tell they put alot more time in the graphics for explosions and jets than the environment that you fly over. but still the graphics are good just not crysis 2 or battlefield 3 graphics. the sound is for the most part great but the sound effects for explosions and gun shots are better than the voice acting, for instence some of the voices sound alot alike and not very unique, but still for the most part good. In my opionon the missions were alot alike and got boreing after awhile, but still they were exciteing and others might like ace combat assault horizon so give it a try.

A few months ago, I saw an ad for this and thought, "Whoa. This looks epic." Later, I saw another ad for it and thought, "Hey, isn't this the game where the guy sees his death in his dreams?" I looked into it and sure enough, it was. I got it for Christmas and I LOVE it. It's even better if you have Xbox Live. Overall, if you like fighter pilot games, it doesn't get much better than this.
