Let
me begin by telling you that Ace Combat 4 was the crack rock that hooked my lazy
Cheetos eatin' aaa to the PS2. I LOVE THAT GAME! This lead me
to search for the next high in flight simulation (stimulation?). With Aero
Elite tucked under my arm, I left the video store with
"Danger Zone" (think Top Gun) on auto repeat in my head. With a cold
"grown up" beverage tucked 'tween my feet and and my lucky hat on, I
sucked the orange Cheeto powder from my fingers and hit the start button.
Sadly disappointed by the incredibly easy training session, I continued to
the arcade version of the game. I must admit - the drive home from my local
rental store proved to be more exciting than anything I would witness in my next
hour of gaming. One boring mission after another filled my life with nothing
more than a case of nausea and a slight hangover the next morning.
I guess it narrows down to this....I feel sorry for the schmuck that rents
this game from their friendly Block Buster, let alone spends fifty smackaroos on
this game. Controlling this game compares to guiding a push pop threw a
blast furnace; it's a little slow and very sloppy. The difficulty level is
slightly biased towards those who are less mentally blessed than the common
house fly.
I have to admit I didn't spend much time on this game but I have a totally
legit reason.... I had better things to do - like clean my shower drain or maybe
clean the bugs left on the window sills from last Fall's cool breath. Over
all, I reckon I can give it a 4/10 (Highway to the Nursing Home) --RAINDOG
