The gameplay of the first one wasn't terrible, and scratched the Ace Combat itch that I needed. That said, the story was so terrible I remember virtually nothing of it, and that definitely did not scratch the Ace Combat itch. Music was entirely forgettable too.
Agreed, I never picked up the sequel either because it was way too short. Looked pretty for sure. Honestly that whole time period feels like a fever dream, since HAWX is so forgettable.
Wow, that game had been entirely banished from my mind until just now. I remember the premise being hilarious, something like "nobody could use nukes anymore so obviously everybody just starting killing each other."

I also like the fact that to test this new anti nuke technology the EU and US decided to have a nuclear war (?)

Hell yeah, this definitely scratches the AC music itch without being a rip off.
