After the release of Ace Combat 5, the Project Aces team quickly got to work on making their new follow-up, but things would be a little extra interesting this time. Looking forward to the next generation of consoles that the game would inevitably release on, not only was the Xbox 360 seeming like it would be more powerful than the PlayStation 3 in terms of hardware, but it would also be releasing a year earlier. Seeing this, and according to one producer in an interview, “feeling like fans had been waiting for a long time” for a proper sequel, the team ultimately decided that the game would be released as an Xbox 360 exclusive. But because of Ace Combat’s history as a PlayStation franchise, few fans even had an Xbox 360 to play the game on, leading to it becoming the worst selling console game in the entire franchise. Because of this, there are a ton of Ace Combat fans even today who have still never played this game, and it’s definitely one of the least discussed entries in the franchise as well. So is Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation a worthy successor to what came before? Or is it a forgettable sequel that fans are better off leaving in the past? Well, let’s talk about it.

Full Ace Combat Series:    • A First Timer's Journey Into Ace Combat  

Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation is a 2007 arcade-style combat flight simulation video game developed by Project Aces and published by Namco Bandai Games exclusively for the Xbox 360. It is the seventh entry in the Ace Combat franchise, the first mainline game in the franchise to not see a release on a PlayStation platform as had been done with previous titles, and the first game in the franchise to include downloadable content. Like other Ace Combat games, Ace Combat 6 features standard gameplay from the series that mixes arcade flight with authentic flight simulation.
