Matt Pearce of kombo.com has typed up a review for The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces giving it a seven out of ten overall. Read on to see what troubles an otherwise decent game.

The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces is a videogame incarnation of an anime movie under (almost) the same title, The Sky Crawlers. The game places you in the cockpit of various World War 2-esque fighter planes in an alternate history where war doesn't exist... so they shoot each other out of the sky for the sheer fun of it. Innocent Aces takes several scenes from the movie and uses them as cinematics/filler, so the plot is largely the same as the original film.

The story follows the main character, Lynx, as he joins a crew of fighter pilots who work for a private company. For all intents and purposes, you're a contract killer hired by "the man" to keep your company's intel secure. There are also several science fiction twists thrown in for good measure because, after all, it wouldn't be anime otherwise. That's not to say that Sky Crawlers can be lumped into the "stereotypical anime" category. There aren't giant robotic humanoids everywhere or women whose clothes constantly seem to fall off "accidentally." In fact, Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces is quite refreshing in its originality.
