Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War is an air combat and flight simulator in the first person. As in other Ace Combat games, each mission is determined by a level briefing and objectives. There are 32 missions in the main campaign mode, while an additional "Arcade" mode puts the player in the role of Mobius One (from Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies), who must face endless waves of enemy attacks. Regardless of the mode selected, once airborne, the player has control over the speed, direction, altitude, cannons, missiles and special weapons of his aircraft. An innovation with respect to previous Ace Combat games is the concept of wingmen and the possibility of giving them simple commands in the air. This allows the player to better coordinate group attacks and give each wingman a distinct personality. Also, as a squadron leader, the player must make decisions ("yes/no") while in the air. Between missions, the story is advanced through a series of cutscenes.
