    'ACE COMBAT ASSAULT HORIZON' is a completely new Action Shooting game. Aircrafts are shredded to pieces, canopies shattered, enemy troops annihilated and buildings toppled. No detail is left untouched. Even the dust kicked up from aircraft exhaust is realistically recreated! Read more

    But games aren't just meant to be seen; they're meant to be played. And Assault Horizon falls quickly into a rut because its entertainment value lies solely in the production elements. The gameplay? Hollow and repetitive. Everything has been reduced to a minigame. Need to win an air superiority mission? Initiate dogfighting mode again and again. Done deal. Have to take out a series of ground targets? Read more

    • Online play is fun, Lots of explosive audiovisual spectacle, Impressive re-creation of real-world geography.
    • Dogfights require little skill, Chopper missions require little skill, On-rail missions are long and boring, The entire game is all flash, no substance.

    Assault Horizon is intermittently quite enjoyable, but doesn’t work hard enough at realising its own potential. There’s a definite gap in the arcade aerial combat market, but H.A.W.X. and earlier Ace Combat games remain your best bet if you’re feeling the need for speed. Read more

    • ‘Close Range Assault’ mode, At least makes an attempt at variety, Occasionally thrilling
    • Repetition, repetition, repetition, The plot is hard to follow, Incredibly simplistic on-rails bits

    I had plenty of fun with Ace Combat: Assault Horizon which is one of the best in the franchise for some time. It's probably the best flight sim on the PS3 to date. Read more

    Taking a page from Top Gun's book but adding a distinct 21st Century chapter to it, the latest entry in Namco Bandai's Ace Combat series sees the franchise flying out of its earlier fictonal locations and into the real world, guns blazing. The single-player story mode casts you as Lt Col William Bishop, ace pilot and leader of the Warwolf Squadron, caught up in a surprisingly engaging tale of hidden super weapons and international insurgencies.
