Game Description |
Launched in Japan in 1999 as a “Three-Dimensional Dramatic Flight-Shooting Game,” ACE COMBAT 3 electrosphere is the third entry in Namco’s arcade flight shooter series for the PlayStation, spanning 2 discs with 52 action-packed missions, numerous real-time and animated cutscenes and 5 different endings.
The game is set in USEA (the United States of Euro-Asia) in the year 2040, a time where the government and the judiciary have been superseded by sheer economic power. There, the two largest multinational corporations in the world – General Resource LTD. and Neucom Inc. – are plunging into all-out war after years of strained relations.
You begin as a fighter pilot for UPEO (the Universal Peace Enforcement Organization), tasked with suppressing this conflict, but as the war develops, you discover things that will put your resolve and that of your wingmen to the test. Things complicate even further when a terrorist group with nefarious goals appears.
While both Europe and North America got localized releases, they were single-disc versions without any characters, branching paths or world-building, plus minor gameplay changes, which resulted in a much lesser experience. Brand Director Kazutoki Kono cited team size and budget constraints as the reasons for this downgrade.
