Excellent evolution of the series
A lot of people will complain about the new mechanics but after sticking with it for a week I can honestly say it's a huge improvement over previous games.
The missions are varied and quite challenging (but not frustratingly so) on Ace difficulty setting. Multiplayer is an absolute blast and this is where the new game mechanics really shine - against other players. The new lobby system is also a massive improvement over ACE6.
I can see myself playing this game for quite some time ^^
