My PS2 has been sitting there collecting dust for a few months. Too busy to find additional time for it. Hopefully still work... But now seems that the time has almost come, coz just bump into the new release of Ace Combat Zero: The Balkan War. (actually was released in April.... I'm way out of sync). Can't wait to get my hand on it.

Since my friend introduced the previuos version of the game for me 2-3 years ago (Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies), I've been attracted to it. Namco had did a great job in the game. It was even better when they release Ace Combat 5: Unsung War. In 4, hand drawn picture was mostly used during the cut scene. But in 5, they replaced it with animated CG scene. It was breath taking. The cut scene was just like in the movie TopGun itself.

2 main things I like about this game:

- The story is good. Even better than some movie. (Believe me on this, I seldom give good comment to movie)

- The control is excellent. I've tried other flight simulators before. None of them can compete with this.

Hopefully they don't change what is already good, but also add new features to this version.

New game menu with new features....

Yes, finally they use real actors in the scenes.

Plane selection menu not much of different.

Cockpit HUD with added features.

Uh.... luckly they didn't remove the Raptor. Best for dogfight.

Nice sunset ...

I hate this guy, even heavy air to ground weapon, but the control is so so.

Wah, new superweapon. That's another selling point for this game.

Laser tower? Wait for me to shoot you down.

Final word, I'm definitely getting this one.
