Impression of "ACE COMBAT 3"
my private opinion



Secret information on "ACE COMBAT 3"
Within my knowledge
  1. The number of endings is 5.

  2. The number of missions is 52.

  3. Just after seeing ALL ending, you will understand the remained questions by receiving a video-mail from Simon.

  4. If you see all ending within 1 "account", "SIMULATION MODE" will be available. Therefore, I recommend you to play AC3 by using only ONE "account".
    To do so, after ending:
    (1) load the same account,
    (2) you can see 6 save data. but you will find a new
    additional box at the right end, where [NEW] or so on
    characters is written.
    (3) select that [NEW] point
    (4) By doing so, you can start new story game from the
    first mission with same account.

  5. Try to get [A] rank for all missions!
    If you clear all missions without [D], "UI-4054 Aurora" will be available.
    If you clear all missions by [A] and [B] rank, "XR-900 Geopelia" will be available.
    And finally, after you get all [A], "O.S.L. (Orbital.Satellite.Laser.)" will be available instead of missiles.
    This is not related with game level, i.e. [HARD],[NORMAL] and [EASY].

  9. How to get [A] ?
    I don't have enough time and passion to write on all miisions.
    I, therefore, focus the most difficult missions to get [A].

    Basic policy to get rank [A]:
    (1) Finish mission quickly.
    (2) Punish all red and white targets as fast as you can.
    (3) Obey your boss's indications and commands.


  10. How is English version ACE COMBAT 3 ?
    English version does not have animation story and multi-ending, and the story is straight.

  11. When can we play "ACE COMBAT 4" ?
    In Tokyo Game Show 2000, a new flight shooting game was introduced by NAMCO.
    Plat form is PlayStation2. At present, there is no name for it. But maybe it must be "ACE COMBAT 4". Release date is the Summer of 2001. Let us wait! Oops! I..I.. I can NOT wait !!!!!!!!!!

  12. Where is "ACE COMBAT MANIA BBS" ?
