We've devised a weapon that's deadlier than a smart bomb. It's called a smart pilot. Now, Ace Combat 2 pits you against a whole squadron of them - 3D polygon jet jocks that maneuver like the real deal; turning every scorching sortie and dogfight into a kill-or-be-killed situation. With nearly double the missions of its predecessor, you'll double your chances of taking the out the enemy. (Or taking a heat seeker up the exhaust.)

Review
One of Namco's finest hours on the original PlayStation. Take on fighter jets, tankers, transport carriers, and even hunt down featured Enemy 'Ace' pilots who when defeated open up new areas and game secrets.  If you have the huge Analog Flight Stick, you owe it to yourself to play this.

• Having trouble finding Ace Combat 1? That's because it's named Air Combat.



• The cover of the game holds several obscure messages/visuals, all buried in the foil section on the far left:
  • The top most message, which is readable:
    • 3D Jet Fighter Action
    • Intense Aerial Dog Fighting
    • Superior Enemy Intelligence
    • ACECOMBAT2
  • The next layer down, in silver reads:
    • The situation is tense and
    • there is no time to lose -
    • Take on this mission
    • immediately
  • Across the left wing and tail, the following words and symbols can be read:
    • Combat Zone
    • Time Limit
    • Danger
    • Recover
    • Curad
    • Landing Area
    • Hold Fire
    • Target
  
  
• The cover plane is an actual plane featured in the game; the Su-35 Phoenix.
