As the story progresses, events unfold in cutscenes, pre and post mission briefing/debriefings and through in-game radio chatter. While these alternate missions don’t change the overall story experience, it was an awesome touch that added to replayability just to see what these paths felt like in the game. Thankfully none of the gimmicks that would come later in the franchise, like Dogfighting Mode, are present in this entry leading to a finely tuned experience.Īce Combat 5 features an impressive 32 total missions with a few alternate routes based on how you answer the in-game dialogue options mentioned earlier. New controls making their debut with Ace Combat 5 include the ability to assign your wingmens behavior and answer dialogue options during gameplay with a simple press of the D-pad. Lastly, pressing Square allows for a handy map zoom feature to keep awareness on what is happening throughout the mission area. Target acquisition is done with a press of the Triangle button. Machine guns and missiles are handled with the Cross and Circle buttons. Once you have your preferred flight mechanics set, controls are easy to grasp. Though, I can say the experience is second to none! The limited edition is pretty rare these days so expect to pay a bit of a premium to play the game this way.
For those looking for the ultimate simulation experience, Ace Combat 5 even released with a limited edition bundle that included a flight and throttle stick.
Controls can be adjusted, depending on the player, from a more real-world feel to flight with pitch, roll and yaw controlling your movement to an easier left, right, up, and down approach. Ace Combat 5 is an arcade flight simulator.
