This might be fine for someone who just wants an air combat game to play, but if you're a fan of the older AC titles like AC04 this just isn't for you.
Several major elements have been changed for jets: Your machine guns never run out of ammo, and neither do your missiles, they simply have a cooldown period. There's also a new "chase" mechanic which locks you onto an enemy and autopilots you around, making aiming your only concern in a dogfight. It's basically rail shooter mode. Not only is this boring and unchallenging, but it also looks ridiculous as you weave between buildings and oil rigs at mach two. Use of this mechanic is optional against most enemies, but certain VIP targets force you to use it in order to take them down.
The helicopter missions come in two flavors: awkwardly controlled attack helo and boring rail shooter transport helo. There are also gunship rail shooter missions straight out of CoD.
Overall everything feels very scripted like a CoD game and there isn't a lot of room for stages to play out differently when you replay them. There's no tension because you never run out of ammo, and there's no challenge because of the autopiloting chase system.
If you're a long-time AC fan like me you'll probably hate this game. If you still buy CoD games then this is for you.
