About this product

Product Information

Players fly into the future of a brave new world, as the richly detailed (but wholly unfriendly) skies of Namco's Ace Combat make their PlayStation 3 debut. Following the series' proven formula, Assault Horizon combines fast, forgiving, arcade-style flight combat with authentically modeled aircraft and realistic background landscapes. Refinements include a "close range" combat system, which tests the virtual pilot's agility at supersonic speeds in 3D space. Helicopters are prominently featured in the game, with players taking the roles of both pilot and gunner.<br><br>Improvements to damage modeling viscerally intensify the widespread destruction of ground targets, and cutting-edge aircraft explode into countless constituent parts with a well-placed missile hit. Multiplayer sorties are supported with competitive and cooperative online modes. The game's story is not within the established narrative of the series' number-titled sequels. As in Joint Assault for PlayStation Portable, Assault Horizon takes place in a near-future imagining of the real world, instead of in fictional nations of the alternate-reality Earth where earlier games in the series are set.<br><br>Flying for the United States Air Force, players engage in high-altitude battle and tactical support assignments, in airborne assaults against the nation's most dangerous enemies around the world. Along with a hanger of helicopters and bombers, missions make ample use of workhorse fighters such as the F-16, F-22, and F-35. The geopolitically tumultuous plot line was written by Jim DeFelice, author of The Golden Flask, Leopards Kill, and other military thrillers.

    Challenging & Real Like

    The Game was sent on time. The product was packaged to make sure it was in good condition. The Game play is really awesome to a point of flying & almost falling off my seat. This game I feel wood be a good intro to real life situations as a pilot. The only difference is you can play the game over where as IRL, you won't have that option. The graphics & scenery are very very good on this Game. It's well worth the price & time.

    Didn’t like

    I bought this game to substitute for my craving for Ace Combat 4 shattered skies on ps2. Since I don’t have a ps2 anymore I bought this sequel thinking it would be just as good or better. 10 minutes into the game I was bored and shut it off. They just don’t make games like they used to. This game takes away your control over the aircraft to make it easier in dog fights. There is no way of turning that off, it’s part of the new features. Very stupid and boring. Graphics are good though.

  • good aerial game

    almost everything is good. the one thing that sucks is the inability tondo barrel rolls which means it takes too damn long to pursue the target during dogfights

    Like the "dogfight" mode.. Am still looking for Ace Combat 4, as am more used to it. Just getting started with this one, but it's Ok..
