ACF Reviews | Air Combat: the beginning of the Ace Combat series
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 дек 2017
- The Ace Combat series has over 20 years of existence and it started with the 1995 Air Combat game for the PlayStation One. In this review I take a look at the origins of the series including the story, gameplay and elements that are still present even to the current Ace Combat games. But most importantly, should you play Air Combat?

The goal with this new series is to review all the major Ace Combat games before the release of Ace Combat 7 so new players have some reference to compare the Ace Combat games. My current plan is to have a review of AC2 to AC6 plus AC AH and Infinity prior to AC7 and if time is available I will review the minor AC games.
Thank you so much for doing this, as someone who just got into the franchise this year, I'm looking forward to learning EVERYTHING Ace Combat!
Meh i prefer macros vfx2
Ace Combat Fan Upload ACI Review on March 31st 2018. It is a must.
You might wanna prioritize Infinity before it goes buh-bye. You don't need to upload it right now, but at least getting the gameplay recorded...
Good luck to you! I really hope it goes well. You have the best Ace Combat related channel on RUclips.
I'm so glad to see you're reviewing the games :D Air Combat's graphics are definitely the biggest problem, the game hasn't aged well at all. Ace Combat 2 basically improved on every aspect of Air Combat so I especially can't wait for that video!
SlyCooperFan1 Air Combat basically is the basis of it's successor. The only thing was very different from the other AC games is the battle map which only shows partially.
Except for multiplayer
can't wait for the assault horizon review
I'm saving my discontent for that video
this guy's video sums up everything wrong with AH

But the question remains: is there a tunnel mission?
Yes there was one, and it was a pain
yep, before the gigant aircraft battle, you have one
@@jdizzy01 it was easy
And to think, the first Ace Combat is taking place at the same time as the Belkan War. While Cipher and his buddy are taking on Belka, Phoenix is taking down some rebels in Usea.
I loved Air Combat! My dad bought it for me after we watched TOP GUN. Unfortunately, I lost my copy in the late nineties during a move. But one thing I do remember was the killer soundtrack, and of course "ALERT! BODY DAMAGE!"
I remember watching my dad playing this in 1999, it's been a personal favourite of mine since then. Those purple orange liveries really bring me back great memories
I played this game the day it came out. The playstation was new and you had to give a $500 deposit, cash, just to rent it. I rented it with Wipeout. It was awesome, I've played every PS version to date. Ill always remember jumping in a 1v1 and loved how it started in a joust manner!
The game that introduced me to the Ace Combat series and one of the most frequently played games on the PS1.
Air Combat... I have this tendency to bring Riho in missions starting from the moment I unlock him.
The soundtrack "Like A Seagull" which plays in Mission 9 & 15 is my favorite Air Combat track.
Nice new series there! I mostly agree with your review, the game didn't age well, but the music and gameplay can still give you a fun experience if you can look past the graphics! Also you haven't given the full aircraft list, but it's a pretty good one, 16 planes with pretty good variety between American, Russian and European planes. (And also the only apperance of the Rafale C in the series, the M was always used afterwards in the series)
Also, it was originally released on the 30th of June, 1995, my fourth birthday! It feels good to share my birthday with the Ace Combat series on consoles!
Can't wait to see more! Especially the AC2 review, that one's still my favorite in the series.
I'm about to start this game as my introduction to the franchise. Searched for reviews and was tickled to see that you have a channel dedicated to the series, which I think is really cool!
That game takes place on skulls island off the coast of the USEA continent in the year 1995 same year of the belkan war
Holy crap, the memories. :) I remember playing this sooooo long ago on the PS1. Those ground sams were always such a pain. You're right about the soundtrack being great. I loved the music when i played it, especially the track for the one on one 2 player fights you put in at the end. You're the very first youtuber i've seen to ever review it. Many thanks.
Good Review ACF, Played this when I was 8 years old. Man does time fly. The OST is def a mark to great AC game to get you pumped up in immersed in the action. This is the original that started it all, and not many people know its origins was AirCombat and not Ace. Some games don't age well but to this day there are some elements from the original that can be found in the newer games still . Head First was my favorite OST, I think the 3rd mission in had this one and I would just fly at high-speed low altitude weaving between the mountains. It was EPIC back in the day
As the co-pilot in this game would say for this review. BAGGED ONE!!!
AC Fan, have you ever played Top Gun: Fire At Will? If not, look it up. I'm sure you'll like it.
I used to play that instead of Air Combat. Man, those days just listening to the missile sounds
I remember this game fondly. i probably sank over 200 hours into this game as a kid solo...not to mention the countless hundreds of hours watching and competing with my brothers in split screen battles. So many fights about screen cheats haha, so many great memories too of slowly learning how to "pilot" using the advanced controls.
Thanks for the nostalgia trip young man :D
Zero is the best in my opinion. Has so much diversity with aces and incentives to keep playing. Plus, story was beautiful
Thank you mate! Could barely find any retrospect videos of the progenitor games in the series
Air Combat does have build-in Soundtrack with Sound clips within the PS1 Disk (can be imported as MP3 via iTunes or PS3 Console)
Ive played and completed for the first time these days... it was enjoyable. And great songs!
Hey buddy, great review! I still need to pick up the PS1 ace combats from my local game exchange. i have the ps2 games that really got me into the series.
i played the game when it came out. at the time i thought it was amazing. i get its outdated but for the time they got alot right.
I thought the game was good. I managed to download it on my PS one emulator and beat it in about a day. But the only drawback I have with the game (aside from graphics) would be that if you die, you lose your plane and have to start all the way back to the beginning of the game. I wish it was more like the sequels but oh well. I give it a 8/10.
Maybe it was indeed my fault since I let my huge fighter pilot ego get in the way and I played the game on Hard. LOL
The fifteen mission where you attack Scorpion Island was the best mission in the game plus it had the best OST.
Cant wait for the video on ac3. Im obsessed with that game.
Tessemi JP version of AC3 is the best one
This review is hotter than fire youngman.
cant wait to see what you say about assault horizon
awesome idea dude!!!!!
I'm still playing it on my smartphone with ePSXe. It's a classic for me
Best Soundtrack of Ace Combat Franchise
Amazing!!!
For 20+ Year old game. It good one "if" i haven't play any Aircraft shooting game (Except The horrible Third person view)
But Well It Took a lot way to get here to become one of a best Aircraft game franchises.
Salute to our grandpa AirCombat
I Love this game. It's better that I still have a copy of this game, and a ps1.
Never tried the VS mode? And have you ever popped the PS1 disk into a CD player? you got the soundtrack right there
I always used the code that gave the planes the real colors
Your room, I want it
Lol the OST has been super awesome from the beginning and in every game. I mean, even Assault Horizon soundtrack was amazing
But AC1 is rlly better than the others, its more Action.
So does this game/story still count being in Strangereal or...?
Yes, Strangereal
Ah good to know, cheers man!
Love your review series by the way
Ace combat 4 is the best
Mohammed albuloshi AC 4 is my favorite game of all time.
My favorits are the 4 and the 5
My favorites are
1 2 3 4 5 zero x 6
Psh infinity and assault horizon are the worst
all are..........
My 1 and 2 because awsome 90s soundtrack.
Pretty Good
Hello aces it's time for me to watch my favorite RUclipsr.
I played and loved this game and ace combat 2 that i completed at 100%
Ac7 hype!
I played every title, from Air Combat to Ace Combat 6.
The last REALLY good Ace Combat was Ace Combat 2 and the best gameplay model was in Ace Combat 5.
I would like to see more of them in AC7 instead of the ordinary modern storytelling non-sense.
Ace combat 3 on the other hand aged awesomely
Where do you even find the game?! Or the PS1?
I tried to play it, but I was a shit with the controls in expert. I'll try again with the novice mode, even if that's a sin for me
I was playing this game on that fateful September morning in 2001.
I’m not joking. I dunno why I felt like I needed to share that. Maybe it has to do with aerial terrorists attacking the government. I was already playing the game when it happened. (I was 11 at the time)
What were you sick or skipped school that day ?
And actually ace combat 4 was Released Sep. 12th 2001
@@mrandrossguy9871 I went to a year round school and it was my month off of school (3 on 1 off)
Make a let's play series of this game?
I buy this game, i have a play 2, but no memory card. I don't want to play on pc, i don't buy a memory card for ps1, and i want to play on hard difficult, so.... challenge accepted!!!
Demetrio Zema Let me know if you succeed!!!
piergiorgio caroli At last i did it, it was more esay than i tought because the you can skip a large number of mission
Demetrio Zema Great job!
like some of early psone games, it aged pretty quickly with those kind of graphic. itis pretty understandable tho.
but the game itselfshould support analog control.when dual analog stick for psone exist again?
anyways, cant wait for another review of next games.
Wait, how did the Japanese know about the yf-23 which was just built the previous year?
Area 88 game?
the review of ace combat 3 please
I recently bought a PS2 from Ebay from one US seller and the Air Combat/Ace Combat collection(PS1 and PS2 games, 6 games for over $100 total) from another US seller. The thing I hate about Air Combat is that its a completely Arcade game that I cannot even save my progress. I checked the back of the casing and found no memory card icon on it.
thats odd, im pretty sure there is an SAVE and Load option under the options menu.
I remember pretty vividly (in the 90's) how i used to keep my PlayStation 1 on, while being at the 4th mission, night city, and i had to go to bed, and had to convince my mother that i couldn't save without a memory card, which we bought the next day.
I did that specially for Air Combat,
EDIT: Although i have no idea if that feauture for Air Combat is also on the PS2. but on the PS1 there is.
@@skapunker1986 Where did you see the option to save your progress in Air Combat? I tried inserting a PS1 memory card into my PS2 but saw no option to save my progress. When I posted my comment, I did not have a functional PS1 at that time and my PS2 is the SCPH-50001 Fat model with full PS1 hardware emulation. I now have a functioning SCPH-9001 Fat PS1. I will try if I can save my progress in Air Combat there.
@@MrAnimeMilitarywhen you’re in the world menu (where you choose the next mission) press Select and you can save : load your game
@@Talal_111 I will give it a try. Thank you!
@@MrAnimeMilitary you’re welcome.
dat draw distance
PS1 has analog controlls
Ace combate 3
I prefer macros vfx 2 saludos
Since Air Combat we all knew belka did nothing wrong
I think you're forgetting to match the story and graphics design to it's contemporaries instead of to modern day.
I praise this game for starting the series I love....
But it has NOT aged well.....
Andrew Rogers Hey, did Naz tell you about what happened to me?
TGT Terrorizor340 What? What happened l
Andrew Rogers My PS3 broke. It won't turn on anymore.
TGT Terrorizor340 (Breathes Internally)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Andrew Rogers Now I won't even be able to spend my final days on ACI at all. I didn't even get to fly the ADLER one more time.
The game, even the intro is in 60 FPS? Impressive
The power of motion interpolation, I just wish the older games had the 60 FPS power
I kinda feel a bit offended that you wear a flightsuit all the time, without earning it...
Not gonna lie I want the English Translated Japanese version of AC3. The original US version sucks. They cut 3/4 of the game out.
As for what I think of various games of the series:
-5 and 0 have the best storyline easily.
-The gameplay of 0 is a little better than in 5 although 5 gives you the option of changing the audio language from English to Japanese
-I mostly played AH for the multiplayer. It was fun but FAR from the true AC experience.
-6 was alright, but older games just had a better story to them.
-X was my first ever AC game. And now I think its OST is a little under appreciated and all.
-Joint Assault had a really good OST and decent gameplay but the story was kinda....meh.
-I feel kinda the same way about 4.
-PS1-era I never played. Also never played Infinity.
Starting to notice, does Nobody like 2Player anymore !?
Only Ace1/Ace04/AceZero/
Are the only Split screen titles which are GREAT but Nobody goes over them and I don't understand why since everybody says that these games are Arcade and Meant to be Fun,
Well isn't 2Player split-screen A Huge part of arcade fun !?
Taking a break from single player !?
So have you tried the 2Player ACF ?
It's not just about turn fights
Is that why your profile picture is a yellow chick because of that mini game?
HOW COME I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS?! THE NUGGET WAS THERE ALL ALONG!
Ace Combat Fan Wow that's a perfect coincidence.
Lelll
Please accept translation into Spanish
Just saw it, thanks for the help!
Ace Combat Fan thanks to you for uploading the game material so complete. I will try to translate your material as much as possible. since many Spanish-speaking people. is hungry for this super classic .. thank you very much. you do it very well a big hug buddy
Press 0 again multiple times whist watching this video, It sounds like he is saying racist in an Irish accent.
Anyone else??
Are you blind, how can you not see the terrain. Apart from the night mission the terrain is right there in front of you. Get your eyes tested
