If you are curious at all at what being a jet pilot is like, you won't find any other game close to Ace Combat. Amazing game for people looking for a fighter jet experience bar none.

Progression in this game comes equally from plane upgrades and your fundamental skills of dogfighting. I can't describe the satisfaction of doing a perfect turn putting you right behind an enemy firing missiles then flying off to your next foe all while dodging incoming missiles.This game actually rewards people looking to hone their skills and if you want to chill, there's no shame in playing easy mode.

Story is also surprisingly good... especially for a videogame. I was also surprised at how varied each mission was, each playing into a fantasy of jet fighting (weaving through clouds, speeding through narrow landscapes, etc...). You'd think it's pretty one dimensional but trust me, you can tell the game developers really put some thought into missions.

I don't know how a game that's better than sex is only 6 bucks
