Review of Air Rivals/Ace Online/Flysis/Space Cowboys

on Monday, October 11, 2010
What's happening peeps!

Today, I'm gonna talk about a multiplayer 3D action game where you can fly on 4 different airframes called "gears". The 4 different gears are very different. The I-Gear (Idle Sniper) can fly at amazing speeds and can outrun most missiles. B-Gear, a bomber that deals solid amounts of damage. A-Gear, a mobile ground turret that uses a siege mode, very strong damage. And finally, M-Gear, a support gear that can use skills such as "radar" and other area buffs. The story is about 2 factions that fight each other, BCU (Bygeniou City United) and ANI (Anti-Nationalist Influence) with raging battles to take control of the planet surface.


The game is free to play with the optional cash shop for XP boosts ect... 2 problems in this game though. The first one is that there is a Winsock error that can appear anyday and it will prevent you from playing. The ships will disappear even though on your screen, you will still be flying. There are a lot of suggestions on the forums on how to fix this, but I gotta say, this game hates all OS except for XP. I was one of the unlucky people that got this error and it prevents me from playing. The second problem is that the players are all pros that have high level gears which can be intimidating, but if you follow the guides given in the forums, they will give you many options and you can feel your character growing fast! Between the intense fights and wars, defending strategic points, destroying motherships, and killing bosses, this game packs a massive punch of gameplay but sadly lacks attention from the devellopers. This game was hosted on different servers with different names such as Flysis, Air Rivals, Space cowboys online, Ace Online ect... And has regular updates and happy hours for you to enjoy.


Story: 7/10 Well constructed storyline about 2 factions that battle each other, tons of missions to complete with rewards etc...

Gameplay:  9.5/10 Incredible PVP battles and hierarchy system with commanders in chief, chief of staff, brigade wars, the 2 factions that battle, squads and voice chat. Extremely fast and rewarding gameplay. Grinding is pretty important until you reach lvl 40.

Graphics: 5.5/10 Terrains and textures are mediocre but the gear details and explosions along with missile graphics are great.

Sound and Music: 8/10 Good music for every map and that can be very easily changed by putting your favorite songs in the music file, includes a music player. Sounds are great, different for every type of weapon and engines, very nice atmosphere.

Overall rating: 8/10 Great game, if you are looking for fast-paced 3D battles, this is the place to look. Gameplay will hook you up but I have to tell you something important, follow the guides in this forum: http://board.airrivals.net/index.php?page=Board&boardID=19&s=1f7252f2f8aa09e46795c3b314fa7ff0d99b38b2, as much as you can since it will allow you to rise up in levels much faster and will make your build much more efficient for a better experience.

I recommend you watch both trailers.
