Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War takes place in the year 2010, five years after the Usea Continental War and 15 years after the Belkan War. You play an unnamed pilot in the Osean Air Defense Force called 'Blaze', also known as 'Kid' by Capt. Bartlett. Your squadmates are Alvin H. 'Chopper' Davenport, Kei 'Edge' Nagase, Hans 'Archer' Grimm, and (later in the game) Marcus 'Swordsman' Snow. Throughout the game, you and Wardog Squadron fight in the Circum-Pacific War between the superpowers of Osea (similar to the USA) and Yuktobania (similar to the Soviet Union). As the game unfolds, you learn the truth about the war...
I rate this game 10 out of 10. I wish it had multiplayer features. Ace Combat 4 and Ace Combat Zero had two-player modes, but none of the Ace Combat games have online multiplayer. If Ace Combat 5 had an online multiplayer, it would likely be Osea vs. Yuktobania. The maps would be existing single-player maps such as Sand Island, Oured, Port St. Hewlett, November City, the Bastok Peninsula, etc., along with other maps. They'd probably have up to 8, 16, or 32 players per map.
One thing I've noticed is that none of AC5's missions take place over Yuktobanian cities, where as there's several missions that take place over Osean cities. It would have been nice to have a mission where Wardog Squadron attacks the Yuktobanian capital of Cinigrad, such as in Ace Combat Zero when Galm Squadron and Allied bombers attack the industrial city of Hoffnung, Belka.
Still, Ace Combat 5 and the entire Ace Combat series are my favorite video games of all time.
