Just finished the demo, and I agree with you RAP, the sideview is an utter failure. When I fly a plane I'll watch myself in the replay, not during playing. Thankfully I was able to do the Rio mission with a more normal cam, and it got close to the Ace Combat feeling that way. The thing that's lacking is the feeling of feedback, the flying feels too smooth I think, as if the entire physics are left out. I was hoping for a bit more rugged feeling, with the air giving somewhat more resistance.
The graphics are nice and smooth though, and audio is good. No complaints there. Budget bin game for me, just like almost everything
