I would give it a 7.5-8. It looks beautiful but there are a few problems here and there:
- Team AI is stupid, to put it nicely. Retarded is how I would phrase it.
- Shooting little red boxes gets old after awhile.
- The story is beyond sappy.
- Online is sketchy, the scenarios just didn't strike me as that interesting. You might be different.
- Dog fighting is fun but hard. You end up chasing some people for what seems like forever just to get a two second window to fire.
- The missles are the suxz0rz. Their range is just somewhere north of throwing a rock out your window while piloting.
Overall, it's a fun game but those are the problems I encountered while playing it. Realize that I'm pretty harsh on games though; there are damned few that I don't pick apart.
