Ace Combat 5

To the delight of many flight action fans, Namco recently announced the development of Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (AC5). This is Namco’s second installment of the series on the Playstation 2.

Ace Combat 4 was truly a phenomenal game – a mix of high intensity combat mixed with slick visuals and simple controls. AC5 features a ton of improvements, innovations as well as totally new storyline. AC5 is set in the year 2010 and features a story of rivalry between two

fictional countries called Osea and Yuktobania. You play the leader of a flight squadron called into action to defend the interests of Osea.

One feature absent from Ace Combat 4 was the ability to exercise command over your wingmen. AC5 hopes to change that, as the development team has included a new feature called the Wingman Command. Using the Wingman Command you can issue orders and coordinate attacks against your enemies. This will surely add a nice touch to an already impressive looking game.
