The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces
The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces, développé par Project Aces et édité par Bandai Namco Entertainment ainsi que XSEED Games, est sorti le 15 octobre 2008 sur la console Wii. Ce jeu de simulation invite le joueur à utiliser la télécommande Wii et le Nunchuk pour piloter un avion à travers les cieux et abattre des jets ennemis. Le titre a reçu une note agrégée de 87,50.
La presse a salué l'expérience proposée par le jeu. NintendoWorldReport a ainsi qualifié le titre de « great package », jugeant son système de contrôle unique et efficace et estimant qu'il offre un sentiment de connexion avec l'appareil que la simple pression de boutons ne permet pas. Nintendo Gamer l'a pour sa part présenté comme non seulement le meilleur simulateur de vol de combat sur Wii, mais aussi l'un des meilleurs jeux d'action de tir. De leur côté, certains joueurs s'exprimant sur Metacritic se sont remémoré avoir adoré le jeu, affirmant que les commandes de la Wii procuraient la sensation de piloter véritablement un avion et de dominer le ciel en tant qu'as, avec des avions personnalisables selon leur style.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« A great package. The unique control scheme is unique and effective, providing a sense of connection with your aircraft that mere button-pressing cannot. The story, told both with fantastic movies and via in-flight dialogue, is great; while confusing at times, it has requisite twist and turns just like the film. »
« Not only the best combat flight sim on Wii but one of the best shooty action games of any type. [Feb 2010, p.60] »
« For fans looking for a solid flying game, or for something that's wholly different, this is a good bet. »
« Overall, The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces is a great flight combat title on the Wii, and it's definitely something that Wii owners should check out. »
« The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces may well be short, but that doesn’t stop it from being the greatest and most electrifying flight sim on Wii. And for that reason, it deserves your attention. »
« Despite the default motion controls not being quite as wonderful as you'd hope and the question mark over longevity, Sky Crawlers still manages to be a hugely enjoyable ride. »
« After years of waiting for a truly standout flight game on Wii, XSEED has really delivered with Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces. Mixing in dozens of different mission types within the game's 18 stages, the Project Aces team puts a more arcade-inspired anime spin on its typical flight engine, and the result is a truly rewarding one. »
« The game pleasantly surprised me with a smart (but difficult to master) control scheme, combat that was fun, engaging and difficult, and some great visuals. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« It's been a while since I've played it, but I remember adoring it. The controls made me feel like I was really piloting a plane. They feel great and there are a number of maneuvers you can pull off that make you feel amazing. Some of them even have their own special little animations. The story is a bit complicated but it's interesting. It has some pretty heavy themes. Unfortunately, the gameplay and story feel kinda separated, which detracts a bit from the experience as a whole. However, the story bits and the gameplay bits work well on their own. There are cinematics interspersed with the missions. They're well animated by the same studio (Production I.G.) that did the animation for the movie ("The Sky Crawlers"). These are the story bits. They're pleasant to watch, so I didn't skip them when I played this game. The score is great. It really makes you feel like you're flying in the sky, especially "rally", my favorite. It's a shame to me that this game is so under recognized among gamers, because it has a unique story, really solid gameplay and an absolutely hype OST. »
« I love it and wii controls make it better. The good! You feel like an ace pilot who dominates the sky. Planes are customisable and can fit your style. Good story and works along with the movie, when you watch the movie you can't help but think ya that's me who owns the sky. Awesome. The bad. I want more levels, more epic battles. Ace combat series is known for that, no matter how much they give you, you just want more. Hope a sequel comes out, ill pay 50$ no hesitation. Oh ya, if your a wii control fan you'll love it easy to get carried away and flinch right before you hammer into the ground. »
