    Time Ace picks up a little bit after the first few levels, but never quite flies high enough for me. [June 2007, p.119]

    Essentially, Time Ace is a flawed, but fun 3D shooter that values action over realism, which is fortunate, since time travel isn't much of a down-to-earth concept to begin with.
  3. Nintendo Power

    Given the blandness of the single-player experience, you'll be better off enjoying the scenery during wireless LAN multicard dogfights. [June 2007, p.103]

    The shortness of the campaign, coupled with the lack of any incentive to replay missions makes it hard to call this game a good value, even with the 20 dollar price tag. Ironically enough, what Time Ace needs more of…is time.
