I wasn't aware that ubisoft was imploding, definitely reflects. Whole game is incredibly short, not exaggerating its shorter than any AC DLC I've played. and only a few side missions and side stuff to do. An enormous downgrade from the last games in every regard(Combat, story, map size, mission diversity etc). Fighting is incredibly sluggish and boring, mechanics are garbage in general. Missions are way too easy even on the hardest mode. A collosal disappointment in general, with no real redeeming qualities to offset the across the bar downgrade. Did I mention there's only one pretty small map? Even the first game had several maps. This seems like a last minute cash grab before they go backrupt. Sad to see this franchise go out with a flicker and not a bang..

Just turned on my play station, and tried to join a tournament. Was not allowed to because I was banned for idling, which I obviously didn't do. Not the first time.

Starts off with some promise, but quickly becomes frustrating and mundane. Many of the missions success is based far more on luck than skill, like a mission where you're going through a sandstorm and have a very limited time to find oil tankers, which you must find just by wandering over them, since they only appear for a few seconds and disappear for far longer, while you're blind from the sandstorm. Like this mission, many of the earlier missions are meant to be punishment (unenjoyable), and the game-play definitely reflects that. Overall, it brings nothing new to the table compared to the other Ace Combat games, but has some redeeming moments. As someone who loves this franchise, even the cheesy stories and characters that are all very similar from game to game, I was sorely disappointed. This game has careless cash grab written all over it, especially when you consider how the VR is motionless as if you just have the TV screen on your face, and the very outdated graphics that are a downgrade from AC6 (which came out in 2007), not to mention how faulty the online play is. I suspect that many of the Google reviews are planted, judging by the exact repetition of falsehoods and vague enthusiastic support. I highly recommend you rent before buying, or just avoid all together.

Glitchy as can be. Had to restart the entire game more than once after getting stuck because of a glitch. The fighting is the poorest of any AC game too, you can win most fights just by repeatedly pressing the attack button.

Honestly, as a huge Mel Brooks fan, particularly Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, and The Producers, I wasn't a big fan of part 1. The show, has a lot more to offer, that's more up to par with his classic slap stick, with a modern influence that is admittedly a bit annoying at times, but still cheesy in a good way.
