Ace Combat: Joint Assault is the second game in its franchise to be released for Sony’s PlayStation Portable. The game was released on August 31, 2010, and developed by Project Aces. The game did well when it arrived to the masses but some critics did express issues with the game’s story. Ace Combat is known for these dramatic bombastic stories and this game just didn’t have that for those who were looking for it.
