I first played this game when i had my PS2 and liked very much, was great, but i damage it while i was still a child, (children don’t take care of their things); then i grew up and buy my own PS3 an started to buy some of the old PS2 tittles that liked very much on my childhood, and this one was one of my first elections.

This is the MOST REALISTIC console-based flight sim EVER! Not only are the aircraft flight sequences outstanding, but the VTOL and rotary options are without equal on console.

This is, in my opinion, the most accurate air combat simulator for the PS2. The level of details and academic approach made the game more than an arcade "shoot em up"; it was a very interesting learning experience and incredibly fun!

I accidentally stumbled across Aero Elite at a GameCrazy one day – but had never even heard of it. The price was marked $12.99. I read the description on the back and thought.. “Well, what the heck – it might be fun to just have around and the price is decent.” Being an avid fan of the Ace Combat series and even reaching into the combat flying sim abyss with Top Gun and Bogey: Dead Six (Anyone remember that one??) I figured 1 more pretend flight sim couldn’t hurt the collection…And then I played Aero Elite for the first time….. and haven’t touched another flight-related title since.Having always wanted to be either a Navy or Air Force pilot and having searched fervently for the best flight sims possible on a console station, Aero Elite was the perfect match!Beware of all the “critics” of this game that bash the gameplay, the physics, the realism engine and who whine about the Training Mode. This is not a game – this is a combat flight simulator. From over 60 planes to choose from (yes, you have to unlock 90% of them by completing Scramble Missions and Training Modes) – take-offs – landings – dogfighting – air to ground missions – free flight – carrier-based missions – a head-to-head death match and Aero Meet 2002 (various competition missions against AI), the replay value of this game is priceless.Oh.. speaking of “replay” – none of the other reviews mention that you get to watch a replay of your entire previous flight from over 40 different camera angles! (OH YEAH, BABY!.

For the first time that i can recall, there is now a realistic flight sim on a game console…and that sim is Aero Elite. This game gives you a far better sense of what it is like to fly and fight in a combat airplane. Obviously, those too accustomed to the AC series (don’t get me wrong, i’m a fan of that too!) won’t like this game because there are so many other aspects that go into it than point the nose at something and shoot. This game requires you to use ACM and tactics above all else, and actual missile evasion tactics. Gunfire is as accurate as can be and you’ll tear someone apart in a single quarter second burst. Of course there are a few draw backs G-limit for example is the on-paper current limit, not actual airframe tested limit (a plane like the F-14 should be able to pull 9G, 7.34 under high load, and the F/A-18 should not have a limit of 7.5) but for these small faults, the game is amazing, second only in my mind to the archaic Fleet Defender PC game from ’93 that still awaits an equal.

Aero Elite outclasses Ace Combat 4 in terms of realism and detail but sacrifices fun in the name of it. The weapons, for example, are exact to the real specs and number. You have to pay close attention to your speed and altitude when landing, especially if you’re flying VTOL in a Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier. The vertical take-off and landing feature of the Rolls Royce Engine only engages at a specific airspeed. Going through the VTOL training really helps you learn the basic skills for flying the AV-8B Harrier. Unlike Ace Combat 4, you can pre-program your replay views before saving it and even choose a different background music. Not to mention, you get the whole replay for the entire length of the game! Ace Combat 4 only replays the last 4 minutes and you cannot save each individual replay movie. Aero Elite even lets you land any plane on a city freeway or on almost any flat surface you can find on the face of the Earth like parking the F-16 Falcon on that helipad in front of your house in the Snowy Mountains Mission. Try parking the huge F-15E inside the pyramid in the desert mission. Mastering the technique of landing the AV-8B Harrier on the LHA at sea can be hard to learn at first but you’ll be proud once you get it right and to watch or show that perfect replay is almost enough reason to own this game. Not recommended for beginner pilots. Advanced pilots dare this!

So, you’re looking for a game the puts you in the cockpit of a fighter jet. There are a few of them out there, and I have tried them all. I own Ace Combat 4, Ace Combat, 5, Lethal Skies 1 & 2 and of course Aero Elite: Combat Academy. I got bored with Ace Combat 4 & 5. You point the plane in the direction you want to go… and you go. Which is nice, but doesn’t add anything to the realism of flying a fighter jet. Lethal Skies 2 is a nice title, but when it comes to realism… Aero Elite has them beat.Aero Elite will allow you to take off, fly, and land your plane. I wanted this so bad in the other titles, but it’s just not there. I want realism… I can’t say this enough! In Aero Elite, you control your landing gear, airbrakes, rudder and weapons selection. G forces and stalls can become a problem when fighting the enemy. This isn’t a point and shoot flight game. If you’re looking for an arcade like flight game, look at the Ace Combat titles.I will say this about Aero Elite, the training missions can get a little frustrating at times. The thing about this though, is that if you try a mission without going through the training… you’re in trouble. Incoming missile from behind? What do you do? The bad guys have all been destroyed, but you have to land your F-14 on an aircraft carrier to complete the mission? Should of done the training missions, and you will.Scramble Missions; 2 player head to head dog fighting; 60+ aircraft including helicopters; Brilliant Gr.
