Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but Assault Horizon takes it too far.
If Modern Warfare was a rock star, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon would be its psycho groupie stalker. Assault Horizon doesn’t just love Modern Warfare, it wants to be Modern Warfare. Like Buffalo Bill pretending to be a woman by wearing a suit made of skins in Silence of the Lambs, the latest Ace Combat is unsettling in its desire to be something it’s not, which is a real shame because underneath that hand-stitched COD suit is a solid game just begging to be recognized.
