The GameDaily One-Minute Review

Namco's Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War is yet another fine addition to the storied franchise. The varied missions, near photo realistic visuals, real world planes, and live action cut scenes have been mixed to produce a thoroughly enjoyable combat game, and the addition of aces, these skilled NPCs that can take forever to destroy, and a two player mode, only add to the product's rain slick sheen. But if you're tired of this series, I don't think that The Belkan War will get you to pick it back up. Namco hasn't really messed with the formula, and the "improvements" aren't hot enough to make it a must buy if you're not a diehard fan.
