Oh man, the tempo also helps set the mood. The percussion, specifically the drums, add a sense of almost surreal calm, like water droplets falling from the ceiling and splashing on the ground. You really feel like your in the cockpit of your fighter jet in the middle of a tunnel with almost no clearance in either direction. The horns and strings provide a sense of eerie claustrophobia. It perfect highlights the emotion and raw feeling of the moment. It truly is one of the best tracks from this game. I’ll try to keep this as spoiler free as possible from here on out, but I’m not sure how well I’ll do.Īnyway back to the music. Essentially, it’s a big-ass satellite in outer space, orbiting alternative version of Earth, that fires a kinetic energy weapon, in this case a MIRV (Multiple Independently targetable Reentry Vehicle) carrying nuclear warheads. That something is the control modules/devices for a massive orbital weapons platform. It plays after the “update” during the Mission 27 (aka “ACES”), where you get the tunnel entrance open and have to fly into the tunnel and destroy something inside the tunnel. Dead Ahead, is one of my favorite tracks from the Ace Combat 5 Official Soundtrack. Anyway, let’s celebrate by checking out one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite video games, Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. AGAIN, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED….***ĭay 200! I’m honestly surprised that I made it this far without forgetting to post.
