Review
     Despite the missing cinemas, AC3 is still one of the best flight games on the system, especially with the surreal psuedo-3D HUD display.

 

 Trivia
  • You can view the original 2 Page Ad in Game Rave's Ad Section HERE.


  • Most of the people credited have oddball nicknames attached to them.


  • The game supports Namco's often overlooked NeGCon.


  • The US version had a large amount of the game's storyline removed to make it more streamlined for an American audience. Sadly, most of the interesting parts were nestled in those cinemas.

     With the smooth option on the game becomes more of a visual feast. Smooth edges abound, and the HUD becomes a tad less boxy. Check out the window detail in the building just beyond the bridge; you can't even see that in regular mode!
