    Instead of simply porting over one of their best-selling PS2 titles, NamcoBandai took a couple extra steps to move the series forward as it made it portable. With only the small misstep in the customizable planes department, Skies of Deception could very well be seen as one of the best titles in the series.

    A must-own flight/combat game. It’s not just the best PSP has to offer – it’s the best any handheld has ever seen.

    The missions find the right balance between challenge and ease of play. Having battles against enemies like giant flying fortresses offers enough fantasy to balance the realistic military vibe. There’s even some ad hoc multiplayer, if that’s your thing.

    On a DualShock it would be great. On an analogue nub it isn't. Despite this, it's still a pretty solid game. [Issue #147, p.92]

    After playing AC games on Playstation 1 I felt in the right place with this game.

    I love this game. Got it for christmas one year and beat it in a day. Then I proceeded to play it again on Hard and Ace mode. Easily my favorite PSP game, and the graphics are great. I just wish the storyline was deeper, like AC5.… Expand

    It is a great game from the start. Game-play is very good, sounds are excellent and graphics are awesome. But play it again and again and you will just get used.. The levels will be very easy for you and eventually you will be bored.. But this is a great game and i recommend it for all people.… Expand

    I'm an Ace Combat fan and I'm glad to point out that this game has the look and feel of Ace Combat. Missions are at a smaller scale though. My major complaint is that it seems to be on the easy side, the long load times in between missions, and the boring mission briefings.… Expand
