Namco has released a number of its best-selling Ace Combat games on PlayStation 2 over the years, including Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies, Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War and Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. Any of these games can be played with the standard PS2 controller, but virtual jet fighter pilots will want to pony over the extra dough for this bundle.
Namco’s Ace Combat Flight Stick 2 includes both a stick and a throttle, each with its own base. The stick has primary and secondary triggers, A, B and Launch buttons, and D-pad and Hat controls. The throttle has a red D button, a D-pad button, a swiveling rudder control, wingman controls and the start button. While the pack-in game doesn’t use every single button, it makes for a much more immersive flight experience than a standard controller. Anyone who’s played these arcade jet simulations knows that they’re challenging games and this controller really does make the experience more manageable and fun.
