Don't listen to the people complaining about the fact this game has poor mouse support or joystick support or is a money grab, Ace Combat 4, 5, and 6 did not have mouse support, they weren't even -released- on PC.

This is an incredible throwback to every great Ace Combat that existed, The missions will remind you of decades past missions but with new flare every time.

If you liked 4, 5, or 6, Just buy this game, seriously. It's amazing. And you won't regret it. Picking up a gamepad to play this game is part of the fun.. I too have a joystick I wish I could play the game with, but at the same time I feel using a full blown hotas setup for an arcade game.. Defeats the purpose.
