Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies

Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies is an aerial combat simulation. It allows the player to participate in semi-realistic dog-fighting with a collection of fighter jets, including the F-22 Raptor, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-117 Nighthawk, U-2 Dragon Lady, C-130 Hercules and SR-71 Blackbird. Eighteen missions will take the player from search-and-destroy attacks on buildings to one-on-one and all-on-all dog-fighting. Along the way it becomes possible to upgrade the fighter with defense systems, weapons and other accessories. The game was developed and published by Namco and released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2. It is part of the Ace Combat series and has a warfare theme. The story takes place on the continent of Usea, which was struck by an asteroid, causing the death of half a million people. The neighboring Erusea used this as an opportunity to invade and occupy almost all of Usea. Based on its eastern coast, the Independent States Allied Forces, or ISAF, try to regain ground and engage the Eruseans in aerial battles. An elite pilot with the codename Mobius 1 is sent on a number of missions to fight Eruseans and help ISAF win the war.
