I have also played to Deadly Skies III in PS2, and I think is a pretty good game, but I'm agree with BlackArmorTails that the controls are hard and irregular. However, Deadly Skies III is the only fighter planes arcade game that includes fully functional VTOL planes (Harrier, Sea Harrier, T-58VD, Yak-38, Yak-141, F-35B...), and the story of the game is very original, with space battles, super weapons, aliens and different endings and characters. Ace Combat is obviously better (specially in designs, graphics, music and controls), but I recommend this game to all fighter planes arcade games lovers.

In PC I played some aircraft simulators (Apache vs Havoc, Comanche 3, Eurofighter Typhoon...), but arcades I only played to Tom Clancy's HAWX. And I believe that is the worst aircraft game I've ever played. Only has a few short missions, the modeling of the planes is ridiculous (it use de same texture and model for various planes, example: F-16C/F-2A - F-15C/F-15E, and a long etc.), wrong names on various planes (Mig-31 it's a Mig-25, WTF?), or non-existent variants (like the F/A-18RC, a F/A-18C with little wings on the nose WTF?. The true version is the F/A-18D (RC), a twin-seat ground attack variant). The only best things are the multiplayer (with cooperative campaign), a good (but typical) plot, and the PC mods.
