It's more of a "meh". Not bad enough to mark it as "Not recommended", but also far from impressive, and worse of all, quite far from being completely worthy of having "Sid Meier" in its title. When I think of "Sid Meier" games, I think of intricate, comprehensive games that come with challenging learning curves and huge levels of complexity. Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies is far from that: it's small and rather simplistic.

The graphics are really messy at points. Don't expect it to look good. The plane models are the only graphic part I enjoyed.

It can get quite complex, challenging and captivating if you play it on higher difficulty levels. Anyway, the complexity is not given by the number of plane models, skills or upgrades, but mostly by the number of movement possibilities. This can also make it get boring after a while.

Still, you can have a lot of fun with it, especially if you like playing the more-chilled turn-based strategy games or if you're into history or fighter planes. It's a Sid Meier title after all, so it's worth having, especially if you can get it on a discount.
