Compared to prior entries. (Metacritic.)

Goated franchise! Still blows my mind that we got an exclusive Ace Combat on the 360 lol. 7 was phenomenal, and 8 is finally changing up the presentation, and it seems to be paying off. Can't wait!

Nice to see it do well.

If it comes to Switch 2 I'll grab it for sure, I really enjoyed AC6 on 360 and AC7 on Switch 1.

Great reviews and probably deserves it. I loved 7 and X, played them a TON. Nice to see that the franchise is in an upwards swing.
