Ace Combat makes its first trip on the Playstation 2. It's real world dog-fighting with a collection of the best fighter jets on the planet including the F-22 Raptor, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-117 Nighthawk, U-2 Dragon Lady, C-130 Hercules and SR-71 Blackbird.

18 missions will take you from search and destroy buildings to one-on-one and all-on-all dog-fighting. Along the way you can upgrade your fighter with defense systems, deadly weapons and much more.

Trivia

During the regular campaign, the mission briefing music becomes jazzier and adds additional instruments to its melody. As the player is successful in missions and progresses towards the end of the game, the music during the briefings augments as well.
