With the same team at Namco Bandai that were behind the Ace Combat series in the pilot seat for The Sky Crawlers, it's no surprise that this is an arcade-style flight game with a focus on fast paced fire-fights and instant pick-up-and-play appeal.
Ace Combat’s creators discuss the 25th anniversary and history and future of the series in this interview.
Never got to play Ace Combat6, that game should have never been exclusive. I don't even think it sold well being only on the XBox 360.
So glad Ace Combat 6 and 7 will be backwards compatible on Xbox Series X. I hope both AC6 and 7 will be Enhanced on Series X with HDR and 4k
Classy Gamer reviews The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces, the latest Wii air combat game by Project Aces, creators of the Ace Combat series.
Sky Crawlers suffers from a faulty main control scheme, but proves very enjoyable with a classic or GameCube controller, bringing to the Wii an engrossing and deep story, crowned by anime cutscenes produced by one of the most acclaimed studios in Japan.
Nintendo Life writes: "Air combat games are a rarity on the Wii, which is quite surprising considering the tilt sensors on the Remote and Nunchuk have been demonstrated to be the most reliable form of motion control available on the Wii. Thankfully Namco Bandai have decided to step into the breach with Project Aces' excellent movie tie-in Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces."
