My first store-bought PSP has already been damaged but Sony is sending a a replacement to me as we speak. (3-day turnaround -- must be a record for them!)
Anyhow, this isn't a post to bitch. It's a post to congratulate another variant color!
I don't care what anybody else thinks, but white consoles look cool! I've still got a working White Saturn I bought from NCS many years ago as well as 2 Dreamcasts.
Too bad the current trend is black and grey. Those colors are fairly drab and look like your typical audio/stereo component. Consoles ought to be colored and STAND OUT! White/Ceramic white consoles (and handhelds) rule! Nintendo's platinum-colored GameCubes aren't bad, either...
This is a worthy upgrade to the "Ace" series and the best-looking and best-controlling Ace Combat game so far... It also has the best storyline and most plane options available of the 5 PlayStation "Ace" titles.
You definitely want to get this game with the Hori FlightStick 2 if you can afford to spring for it. The FlightStick gives the best control response and feedback... The game just feels more authentic with the Stick. You feel dynamic changes in speed as you go supersonic, brake hard, or stall through the game.
The selection of planes in this game is by far the best I've seen on any console game. Unlike most flight simulators, the imaginary planes crafted for this game are fantastic and well-designed even if they do look suspiciously like Macross (X-02) and RahXephon (Falken) fighters!
Recommended for Ace Combat fans, jet combat fans, and people that want a game that they'll play for more than a week...
