I admit I played the English version which was notorious for removing the core story elements that made the Japanese version so great. But I still loved it! This game made the most of the PlayStation 1 hardware to deliver a highly immersive dogfight experience. The cities looked fully realistic (at the time), the planes were gorgeous and the fights were extremely dynamic. The whole thing was an immersive experience that gave me chills, aided by the futuristic soundtrack. It may not have the fully branching storyline of the original Japanese game, but it was still an amazing world that remains in my mind to this day.
