PSP REPORTS TO THE FLIGHT DECK
mpressive enough to sit beside the earlier PS2 games in the Ace Combat series, Skies of Deception gives players the same thrilling air dogfights that they’ve come to expect, but on a much smaller screen. I’d challenge anyone to find very much to complain about in the visuals or even in the wider production values of front-end menus, sound effects, and voice-acting. I was a little disappointed not to see a greater focus on teamwork with your AI companions, a feature I’ve really enjoyed in the recent PS2 entries. Otherwise, the missions find the right balance between challenge and ease of play. Having battles against enemies like giant flying fortresses offers enough fantasy to balance the realistic military vibe. There’s even some ad hoc multiplayer, if that’s your thing. This is the first entry in this genre for the PSP, and I’m happy to say that a pretty high bar has been set.
