Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

The classic flight-sim action series propels itself into the future

We get the feeling Project Aces is trying to impress us. As we sit in the cockpit of our F/A-18F Super Hornet and trundle towards the runway, all hell breaks loose. Fighter jets careen towards the ground like meteors while a friendly tank fires wildly into the sky; next, a plane hurtles across our path, missing our nose cone by a hair before exploding into a fireball. This is typical virtual reality showboating – dramatic stuff, but gimmicky.
