Ace Combat 2

Ace Combat 2 is a 1997 combat flight simulation game developed and published by Namco for the original PlayStation. This record represents the PlayStation game converted to PS3, not a native modern PS3 release. The player commands fighter aircraft through an arcade-influenced military campaign.

The game offers 21 missions and a selection of 24 fighter jets, with objectives such as intercepting enemy squadrons, protecting bases, and destroying aircraft carriers. Completing missions provides money for purchasing stronger aircraft, while branching mission paths, fuel management, wingman support, and elite ace pilots add variety to the sorties.

Ace Combat 2 presents aerial combat from a behind-the-aircraft view and emphasizes fast dogfights, targeting, maneuvering, and mission objectives. Novice and Expert settings change the handling model, and secret aircraft and medals reward continued play. The original release is single-player and does not include multiplayer. Catalog status: PlayStation-to-PS3 conversion; developer and publisher: Namco.
