Dueling Games: Difference between revisions

| ''[[Ace Combat]]'' || ''[[HAWX]]'' || Modern combat flight sim franchises. Ace Combat is console-only while HAWX has both console and PC versions. || Both HAWX and HAWX 2 were released in the 4 year gap between ''[[Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation]]'' and ''[[Ace Combat: Assault Horizon]]''. Gameplay-wise, Ace Combat tends of focus on more traditional (though slightly arcadey) flight sim mechanics, with Assault Horizon mixing it up with the Close Range Assault mode. HAWX tries to differentiate itself with the Assistance OFF mode, which zooms your camera out into a distant 3rd person view, allowing you to perform more advanced maneuvers. || Overall, Ace Combat has still been going strong since 1992 with numerous iterations and spinoffs while HAWX only has two games to its name, both released a year apart. Also, almost all AC games have positive reviews and fan support, while reactions to both HAWX games is mixed at best. Sales wise, the XBox360-exclusive Ace Combat 6 sold nearly as many copies as the 360 and [[PlayStation 2]] versions of HAWX combined while Assault Horizon sold slightly more than HAWX 2. Ace Combat still seems to be the modern air combat flight sim franchise to beat.
