Its Ace Combat, it doesnt do anything radically different, but its good old classic Ace Combat in a shiny new shell. Looks gorgeous, sounds great, plays fantastic.

Campaign is good, and the multiplayer is fun, however be warned, there are very few players left in matchmaking on Steam, and Hacking is an issue.

Controls for PC / Mouse are very poorly implemented.

When using keyboard and mouse, the UI elements that tell what what button to press are so tiny you cannot make them out.

And most importantly, i bought the Hall of Fame Edition which includes all of the DLC....and the game did not give me access to any of that DLC. In-game store and all dlc characters were "unavailable". This is a decently common problem many people are having, and Ubisoft support will only try to shift the blame onto Steam saying that Steam should have given you keys to enter to access the content. As it stands, THE DLC AND HALL OF FAME EDITION ARE COMPLETELY A WASTE OF MONEY BECAUSE YOU CANNOT USE ANY OF THAT CONTENT IN GAME until such time Ubisoft decides to fix it.

tldr: Poor controls, Bad port, and the DLC is currently a scam. DO NOT BUY.
