Ace Combat 4 rented

Ok, first thing first. I beat the game. Now, the only other game I beat when renting it was metal gear solid, I think becasue it was a great game. It had a good story, and good action. The same goes with Ace Combat 4. The story is weird, told inbetween missions and at first dosent seem to have that much to do with what you are doing. The story is told in a chartoon like way, like in twisted metal. The story grabed me and I wanted to play more to find more out. Now, about the part where you actually play. This game has quite splendid graphics, except for when you get close to the ground and look down. But when you are way up in the air, and you look down, it looks sweat. I was flipping upside down and then looking up at the ground because it looked so neat. The controals at first suck really really bad. But then once you get used to it they work fairly well. Bombing is sometimes a chore though. They have the view on the heads up display of the aircraft, so you cant acctually see your plane, which kinda sucks, but you can watch it in replay. Every time I watched the replay I though it would be cool if you could play from that view. Their is also some stragity involved in the game, you have to pick the right air-craft for the mission. Like if you had to attack alot of ground targets, you would probably want to get the a-10, or if you where going up against alot of enemy aircraft, you might want the f-15 or f-18. Then you have to decide what kind of ammunition you want, and you only have a limited supply and the missions change during them sometimes so if you had to bomb alot, and picked bombs, and then a bunch of boggies came, you might not fair so well. I shouldnt say you get to pick all you wepons, you always have some missels. The game can get really action packed. Its fun trying to evade missels and try to bomb targets, get you yelling at the screen. Some of the missions are kinda confusing, but you can figure it out.
