Fresh craft for Ace Combat 6
Gutsiest move I ever saw.
Atari has opened its hangars and wheeled out a whole army of fresh aircraft for Ace Combat 6.
The most expensive of them is The Idolmaster Miki pack, based around the Japanese 360 game The Idolmaster, where you play as a producer and coach nine young pop idols to stardom. Miki Hoshii is the first of the characters to sign-up for flight school, and brings with her an impressive Su-33 fighter plane - probably has rich parents. Get a load of her for 400 Points (GBP 3.40 / EUR 4.65). But not like that, she's 14.
Following her are the manoeuvrable F-16C Fighting Falcon with Windhover Squadron colours; outrageously fast Mirage2000-5 Experimental beast; heavily armed A-10A ThunderBolt II with essential shark mouth; spooky F-14D Super Tomcat with jack-o'-lantern paint job; light-weight F-15E Strike Eagle with something called active stripes; and sure-footed, er, winged F-16C from Ace Combat 2. Each will lighten your wallet by 200 Points (GBP 1.70 / EUR 2.33).
One craft is free, though, the well protected F-16C Fighting Falcon - part of the mercenary tactical strike force Scarface. Smutty plane porn for those who know what the numbers and letters mean, then.
Ace Combat 6 is out in Europe today and comes thoroughly recommended by us. Pop over to our review to find out why.

That means R.Kelly bought AC6 for nothing?

/sigh
Still it's a bloody fantastic game out of the box and since I prefer to play from the more immersive cockpit view, the "skins" are pointless unless you want to watch the (admittedly stunning) replays. The new planes sound intriguing though, might try one or two of them but really they should have been included with the boxed game in the first place. Yeah, they are optional, you don't have to buy them, but it seems these days that you get less game content because publishers like to make a bit extra from selling some of the missing stuff as downloadable content.

Charging for new planes is taking the wee wee.

I presume it is exclusive only to GAME and that they should send people the codes to unlock them from the Xbox Live Marketplace, similar to how people got hold of the Call of Duty 4 Beta a few months back. I suggest emailing GAME and asking them how you get hold of the codes for these "exclusive" planes, which are only "skins" anyway. I think.

Cheers. I might send them an email. I, like you, prefer the cockpit view (well, first person; the cockpit view is sometimes too cluttered) but it's the principle, damnit
Regarding the number of missions, it's probably worth mentioning that AC6 has longer, more involving missions that its predecessors. That kind of makes up for there being fewer of them.

It gets worse than that.. From what I heard Crysis is missing a whole chapter.
