Ace Combat 5 isn't the huge step for the series that Ace Combat 04 was, but it's still a great flight combat game, featuring grueling arcade-style action and plenty of surprises both in its mission design and its story.
Nevertheless, Ace Combat's continued devotion to good storytelling is ultimately one of this game's best strengths, since the presence of so much plot helps to give the missions a sense of genuine significance and cinematic drama.

 The Entertainment Depot - PC / Mac / Console Gaming : PlayStation 2 - Reviews - Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War
Even though the story is still enjoyable, and many of the cutscenes do a fantastic job of portraying aerial combat and the emotions of the pilots a pensive manner, many of the conversations fall flat with exaggerated emphasis doing little to save what amounts to yammering with plenty of vocalized ellipses.
Despite their increased experience in combat throughout the game, they fail to be much more than decoys to distract enemy planes away from the player; they do, however, on occasion prove to be worthwhile, but it would have been nice for the skills they display at those times to be noticeable throughout.
Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War is solid action title, with plenty of replay value (re: it's difficult), and a style all its own.

 IGN: Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War Review
Ace Combat 5 features a remarkably polished, solid, smooth, and flicker free graphics engine that renders vast, detailed landscapes with foliage that naturally blends in and out of the terrain.
Ace Combat also features a robust effects engine that creates some dazzling dynamic weather and lighting effects such as a setting sun and an industrial brown haze that's thick, thin, and nonexistent depending on where you are in relation to the swirls of smoke.
The biggest addition to AC5 are the wingman commands, but ordering a buddy to toggle his special weapon on and off is totally ineffective and the only way to properly command troops in any fashion with this very limited setup is to repeatedly order them to do the same things over and over again.

 Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (ps2: 2004): Reviews
This is more or less "Ace Combat 4" with a few slight upgrades and gameplay honed to near-perfection, but the formula's just a bit too familiar, and the lengthy missions may turn less patient gamers off before the story can suck them in.
If you liked "Ace Combat 4", this is more of the same good stuff - gorgeous planes, complex missions, and a real feeling of being in the middle of a war, thanks in part to scripted events, radio chatter, and the massive scale of it all.
Ace Combat 5 is not a major leap ahead of 2001's "Ace Combat 4"...But if you liked that game's impressively detailed presentation and instantly playable controls, then strap in and get ready to take off.
