Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception takes pride in its pretty planes, right? Well, GameWatch says that more than just providing planes, the game will also be giving you a chance to repaint planes. You can choose from the usual paint job or two different camouflage paints, or a swanky blue and pink sakura paint. Developers of the game haven't given conditions as to how you can get your planes painted, but that's a cool option if you want to easily notice which one, among all of the planes, is really your own flyer.


Some familiar planes will be back for us to play with. The F-35 Lighting II and the YF-23A Black Widow II can be flown during the game. The F-35 is a stable carrier plane while the Black Widow is capable to fly as high up in the stratosphere. The black widow is a plane that will be available only to specific missions. Small missions such as refueling, taking off, and landing at desert runways and air craft carriers will also be available in the game.


Locations in the game have also been announced. Terminus Island is a location found in an icy location wherein a large oil reserve is found underground. Santa Elva is a bustling city situated near a big river, while in the deep ends of the forests, the largest Aurelia base, Sachana Air Base, is planning for their next mission. These three places are quite difficult to maneuver in, with steep mountain peaks, tall buildings and the thick forests, however, nothing is impossible for an Ace Combat X pilot, is it?

I haven't played any of the first three titles in the series, but I think every one since has had at least one mission where you have to fly underground. They are challenging, yes, but it just doesn't make sense. Tanks and infantry would be much better suited for those missions than fighter planes. Just a minor complaint... It won't keep me from buying more games in the series or anything.

i just hope the storyline is better than Ace Combat 5. That game had an obnoxious anti-nuke and anti-war message much like Metal Gear Solid. Also i want better wingmen if any. Nagase was the most obnoxious and also happened to be your primary wingman

on the plus side those screens look just like Ace Combat 5. Strange paint jobs have been seen since 5, but if you could save custom textures to the memory stick for this that would be awesome

#6, i heard in reviews that there was a Return of the Jedi tunnel mission in all the Ace Combat games so expect one here

i think they made a new ace combat universe because the old one sucked so much after the terror of Ace Combat 5. Hopefully the plot will be as simple as it was #4 of the series and older. I hope 2.81 is devulated by X's release

This game is not based in a different universe. Just different country/locations.
