15 Severely Underrated Xbox 360 Games That Deserve A Second Chance
7. Ace Combat 6: Fires Of Liberation
As one of the first aerial combat games to grace the Xbox 360 Ace Combat 6 had a lot to live up to, but despite receiving a mostly positive critical reception Fires of Liberation has been relegated to being one of the console's long forgotten titles - something only a select few of gamers will remember. There's definitely a lot to love about Fires of Liberation - the aircraft look absolutely gorgeous and still continue to impress 8 years since its release, they all control well and there's a lot to choose from, and the combat itself is the perfect blend of arcade and simulation. Indeed, no matter what your preference in aircraft may be there's a lot in here to keep you satisfied - certainly more so than 2008's HAWX ever managed to accomplish. The story is pretty clichéd as far as military warfare is concerned and the multiplayer is now a wasteland, but its lengthy campaign provides enough encouragement to give Ace Combat another go - especially since the series has struggled to reach the heights that Fires of Liberation once achieved.
