Review or rather impressions of Ace Combat Assault Horizon

Hello to all stopgeimers))
I apologize in advance for grammatical errors, it’s just a buffoon) there’s so much that it’s impossible to keep track, besides, this is my first time writing a review, although rather it’s more like impressions, so don’t judge strictly.

Probably everyone already knows that it was recently released PC version of the game Ace Combat Assault Horizon Enhanced Edition (sort of with all DLC). The console version of the game was released on Xbox 360 And PS3 October 11, 2011 and now almost 2 years have passed and the game decided to visit personal computers.

Game genre Arcade, Flight simulator, although more Arcade and you will find out why below.
Let's start with the fact that this game is a kind of similarity Call of Duty, with regeneration and a large amount of ammunition (in our case, missiles), only we control not a soldier, but an airplane.

"Graphite is the most important"

The graphics in the game are pleasing to the eye, although of course they went too far with the bloom, since sometimes you can’t even see the interface, but this is a trifle. I would also note that the planes in the game are very well made, for example, you can see how the turbine is spinning inside the nozzle, you can also see how the plane goes into a trance sound and it looks very beautiful, and if you gain high speed you can see how it’s like being in an airplane
the wind blows in, in general the game has no problems with special effects.

Still, https://won66casino.co.uk/bonus/ there isn’t much soap

“The Japanese don’t know the laws of physics”

Of course, the physics in the game, especially objects and ground equipment, are made as unrealistic as possible, sometimes when you shoot a rocket at a tank, the air takes off when it explodes, but what amused me was when I fired at enemy equipment from the explosion, a whole bunch of cars literally flew into the air, well, what can you say, they are Japanese and in Africa they are Japanese. Airplanes, unlike technology, even though they explode very realistically (oil leaks, the plane falls apart), but they fly like UFO straight (as if a hint of super maneuverability), at least AI planes are able to turn instantly, especially this can be noticed during the battle with the boss, from the beginning it seems to be flying away from you, and a second later it’s already sitting on your tail. Also, planes in this game are able to brake sharply by simply raising their nose up during a counter-maneuver, but most likely all this will overshadow Apache’s ability to do a roll when a rocket is flying at him, just click on "X" (default). Otherwise no complaints.

30 seconds, normal flight.

It’s such a sight even if you’re stoned you won’t be able to see it

“Bad Russians again”

The plot tells us the story of Colonel Bishop, commander 108 Squadron Warwolf. In the first mission we will visit Bishop's dream, and find out that he repeatedly dreams of dying at the hands (or more precisely, of a fighter) "Sharks" Russian ace known as Markov (so they said in the game itself). The fight against the rebels led to the fact that half of the Russian troops betrayed the United States and seized power in Russia, creating "New Russian Federation". Plus, the Russians have taken possession of a very dangerous weapon called "Trinity", the explosion of which is almost comparable to an atomic bomb. The player, together with Russian troops, will have to recapture Russia from terrorists, as well as find and destroy "Trinity". While completing the game, the player will be given control of not only a fighter, but also an attack helicopter, and will also be given the opportunity to shoot with a minigun on board UH-60, cover the infantry on AC-130 "Hercules" and destroy enemy bunkers on a bomber at twilight. To all this we add video clips and a good ending that will please everyone, I think (well, if not everyone, then at least some of them).

“At least there’s plenty of pathos”

Well, now let's move on to the most delicious thing in this game - the gameplay. As I wrote above, it is varied, then you fly in a fighter, shooting down enemy planes, and in the next mission you are already controlling "Apache" and cover the rescue group. There was a mission in the game where you need to sink enemy cruisers and aircraft carriers, perhaps this is the most colorful mission in this game (well, except for the last one) you can attack cruisers on A-10 Thunderbolt or choose our Su-25 "Rook" or choose famous F-117 the first aircraft with stealth technology. The choice of aircraft here is wide, there was a place for both Western models and ours, they even included our fifth generation fighter PAK FA. There is also the opportunity to fly on non-existent planes and shoot from a rail gun (Gauss gun) which, by the way, shoots down planes with 1 shot. All aircraft naturally differ in characteristics and therefore it is better to carefully select the aircraft before departure. Although by the middle of the game the player will open F-22 and it will last until the very end because this is the most, let's say, optimal plane in the game. And the main thing is to choose a plane with good maneuverability, otherwise it will be harder to turn, which is very annoying, especially if the enemy is very playful. Before departure, the player can choose the color of the fighter or change it himself, although you can only choose the color, and, unfortunately, you cannot put any vinyls like shark mouth.
And of course I will finally start writing about VBB (Aerial Melee) This is a mode where the camera concentrates on the enemy plane and the player’s plane itself flies, frankly speaking, on the heels of the enemy. aircraft, the camera changes depending on the player’s actions, for example, if the player shoots from a machine gun, then the camera hangs right behind the machine gun, and if with an auxiliary weapon, then the camera hangs under the plane, at this time you can also fire missiles, the main thing is to wait until the circle turns red and shoot at the enemy. The enemy can also enter VVB In this case, you either need to spin a lot or fly closer and do a counter-maneuver, and by the way, this whole process looks just great. Here we can say the developers did their best. In addition, there is also a GNB, which is similar to the VBB only applies to ground vehicles, when the player enters the GNB, the missiles reload faster and the machine gun heats up slower. The controls in the game are convenient and arcade-like, in the game there are no such concepts as overload, although there is a stall if the speed is too low, it is better, of course, to play on a mouse and keyboard and combine it with a joystick to regulate the thrust, and of course it all depends on the plane you are flying on.
The soundtrack in the game is well composed and suits all missions, although in the last mission during the battle with the boss the song is too strange and doesn’t even sound clear in Russian or English.

Logged into VBB

Conclusion:
The game is good Call of Duty [3]
To be honest, I can’t name the pros and cons, but about physics it’s more of a joke than a minus.
