 Not Available for less than arm and leg now March 20, 2008
I purchased the game without the flightstick a week ago and I love it! I've been exclusively flying pc simulators since 1994 and this was a refreshing experience. No IT'S NOT A SIMULATOR!! If you approach the GAME with that in mind, I believe you will enjoy it. By far the main selling point of this game is the unbelievable graphics compared to what's possible with pc simulators...talk about eye candy. If you want "realism" in a combat sim, go for something pc such as Falcon 4.0 Allied Assault, or Lock On: Modern Air Combat. But if you just want to run and gun and marvel at some superb scenery along the way, this is the game.
Like the title of the review says, the flight stick is not available as a new purchase anymore, even as a standalone item. This is why this "available from the following resellers" item doesn't get higher marks in my review. Before it was realized that a flight stick was a feasible reality for a console game, I would have just accepted using just a controller. It's clear that actual flight simmers were not the target audience here...baffling missed opportunity since Microsoft Flight Simulator controls something like 97 percent of the flightsim audience. Some of us are actually willing to trade off an acceptable degree of realism for a better entertainment experience in the combat genre.
Just like the intro days of the console, Microsoft has left the public at the mercy of mercenaries on Ebay if you want to own one of these flight sticks. I cannot for the life of me understand the logic with this one. Limited edition...it's a joystick for crying out loud! It's a tool to reap the maximum experience from a game that should be available for purchase. Atari, Colecovision, Intellivision, Genesis, and the other ancient consoles haven't really become "collector's items". Their games were either re-released for other systems, or they were forgotten; Xbox 360 will follow the same as more advanced technology comes into play. Their pattern of attempts to manufacture value is pathetic in my opinion.
 Finally... A worthy Flight Combat Sim in almost 10 years after D.I.D.'S "T.A.W." and Jane's "USAF" February 4, 2008

After almost 10 years since Digital Image Design's (D.I.D.) "Total Air War"(T.A.W.) and Jane's "USAF", here is a Flight Combat Sim that is a worthy successor to those Great Flight Sims of the past. Today we have "Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation". This game has to be played with a flight stick and throttle in order to fully immerse yourself into this flight sim. The only thing more I could hope for is that this game makes it to P.C. in the near future...
Outstanding Flight Simulation January 7, 2008

Of all the flight sim games this is absolutely the best. The action of the flight controller will have you doing barrel rolls in your sleep!!!! Definitely not easy to learn but once you do it is also challenging. Lots of action, plenty of targets to shoot and you better watch your butt, since you will be shot out of the sky if you dont. I have 14 different Xbox games and this is one of the best ever...If you are thinking of getting the game without the flight controller, forget about it, the controller is what makes the game really FLY......HAVE FUN!!!!!
very cool set January 1, 2008

I liked this game very much. The flight sticks are great and feel very natural to play a flight game with. The only thing that was lacking was the story of the game. That is why I gave 4 stars. Game play is fine, graphics are great, and the sound is awesome.
 no directions included December 26, 2007

You'd think after you spent almost $[...] that they would give you some idea how to operate it. No instructions included except a little review on the box if you want to sit there with a box on your lap. What ever happened to giving you an operating manual or direction book with a product. I will never waste my money on something like this again. If I would have known there are no instructions, I wouldn't have bought it. Hope the manufacturers read these things and take note.
