Up to 16 players can test their dogfighting skills online in a variety of multiplayer modes, including objective-based air raids and cooperative missions. Unanimously praised by critics and fans alike, Ace Combat 6 was chosen as one of Time Magazine's top 10 games of 2007 and lauded as "bigger, better and even more photorealistic than its predecessors" by USA Today.
