Default Ace Combat 5: Post-mortem

I just finished Ace Combat 5's Campaign Mode.

I noticed that this game is markedly more difficult than AC04 was. Some of the missions that require you to provide air support for ground operations proved a little frustrating as it seemed as though the ground forces at times were barely able to take care of themselves, leading to relatively quick mission failures.

Enemy AI in dogfights is also better in this game... missile locks don't seem to have the same hit success rate that they did in AC04 (unless we're talking Yellow Squadron). Several of the later missions will test your evasion ability, too... get some 8492 planes on your six and you'll see what I mean.

I actually liked the new story, for the most part. There were some unexpected twists (almost reminded me of Wing Commander IV in one instance). I don't think you'd hear a lot of pilots making anti-war statements, though...

The music is, once again, awesome. As it is, I'm looking to pick up the AC04 OST, and this one comes pretty close in quality. I'm not sure what Namco paid to have one Puddle of Mudd song (Blurry) for all of 10 seconds, but the rest of the original stuff is pretty varied.

These are just some of my own random observations. I kinda miss doing this, so here ya go.

Anyone else have anything to add about this game, if you've played it?
