Other than the aforementioned additions, the rest of the gameplay is strikingly similar to Ace Combat 4 and, honestly, just about any other Ace Combat - the game still walks that fine line between overtly arcadey rubbish and inaccessible hardcore simulation, anyway. These little side games come between missions, but never take the place of them, nor do they appear all that often, so.meh. Atop the squad control, Unsung War also offers some aircraft carrier landing and takeoffs as well as mid-flight refueling. While it's not the most intuitive way to handle wingmates, it isn't terribly broken. The biggest addition to AC5 are the wingman commands, but ordering a buddy to toggle his special weapon on and off is totally ineffective and the only way to properly command troops in any fashion with this very limited setup is to repeatedly order them to do the same things over and over again. The only other real problem with gameplay is the ineffectiveness of specific wingman commands.

This pressure sensitive target lock only malfunctions in the cockpit free first-person mode and it's a real nuisance because it makes it nearly impossible to effectively track any enemy in a snap. The game's target lock function (when you hold triangle to focus on a specific enemy), not only swings the camera over to that enemy, but also zooms in on their position, depending on how hard triangle is depressed. First-person with HUD but no cockpit is definitely the easiest way to play, but that creates one problem. That last bit focuses rather heavily on the cockpit mode, but that's only because playing in the cockpit is arguably the most enjoyable way to experience Ace Combat 5.

Had Namco taken some cues from the Colin McRae and RalliSport games, as well as from Crimson Skies PC or even Metroid Prime, we might have had a more exciting cockpit experience with splashing rain and sun glare and so forth. They do reflect the soft glows of the current lighting scheme, but nothing ever moves and there is no bob, which makes jet interiors feel a little more like cutouts than models, even if you're actively using the POV stick to whip your pilot's head around. Planes all animate properly with rudders and canards and jet intake things, but the internals of the cockpit feel preset and immovable. While the advancements will be appreciated by the scrutinizing eye, the casual gamer will still wonder why the cockpits still feel a little static. But, Unsung War still looks like the Ace Combat duck.

Plenty+of+City+Action Explosions and missile trails have also been bumped up and are now thicker, meatier, faster, and more elaborate.

Depending on the level, the game could look fuzzy, dark, clean, crisp, bright, or just normal. It makes the world believable and invigorating. There are also clouds that hover and drift over the land and sea, dropping sprinkles, showers, and heavy rains. Ace Combat also features a robust effects engine that creates some dazzling dynamic weather and lighting effects such as a setting sun and an industrial brown haze that's thick, thin, and nonexistent depending on where you are in relation to the swirls of smoke. It's not just a kind of advanced polygonal and texture detail that impress.

While it still lacks the quality seen in the latest PC and Xbox titles, Namco is definitely pushing the little PS2 way beyond its previously perceived limitations. The environmental texture detail has also been upped considerably. Nevertheless, it just looks right.ДЄce Combat 5 features a remarkably polished, solid, smooth, and flicker free graphics engine that renders vast, detailed landscapes with foliage that naturally blends in and out of the terrain. Unsung War is a ridiculously attractive PS2 game, which is odd considering that during 99% of flight time, the player will never be able to tell an enemy fighter from a flying black line simply because they're all so far away and so small. But then that's probably because they're both so similar to one another. There's no denying that title's quality just as there is no denying Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War is a darn good videogame. This is where Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies was born in 2001.

Since then we've seen the long running flight action series move through a few subsequent iterations and onto the more powerful PlayStation 2 hardware. Namco started an aerial phenomenon with Air Combat on the PSX somewhere around eight years ago.
