Description<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Superior enemy intelligence.<\/p>\n

We’ve devised a weapon that’s deadlier than a smart bomb. It’s called a smart pilot. Now, Ace Combat 2 pits you against a whole squadron of them – 3-D polygon jet jocks that maneuver like the real deal, turning every scorching sortie and dogfight into a kill-or-be-killed situation. With nearly double the missions of its predecessor, you’ll double your chances of taking out the enemy. (Or taking a heat-seeker up the exhaust.)<\/p>\n

– The most realistic dogfights ever created for the Playstation game console.
\n– Total 3-D polygon environment – fly freely and unload your arsenal with reckless abandon.
\n– Advanced artificial intelligence – cunning and calculating enemy pilots.
\n– 30 formidable missions – nearly double the missions of Air Combat.
\n– Awesome mission debriefings – dynamic diagrams and moving maps for surgical strikes.
\n– Secret planes and hidden missions – the better you fly, the more you’ll reveal.<\/p>\n
