Game Description
In Ace Combat Advance, Namco's long-running air combat sim takes flight on Nintendo's Game Boy Advance. Presented as an overhead-view shooter, the game is set in the same near-future world as its console predecessors. Players become pilots for the "United Air Defense," a military organization formed to stand against the oppressive "General Resources, Ltd." and its elite enforcement squadron, the "Air Strike Force."The game features destructible buildings and terrain objects; in addition to shooting down enemy craft, some missions require pilots to bomb enemy installations. Expert performance can unlock new planes for use in future missions. The cartridge offers a dozen missions in all, with a total of ten flyable aircraft and two difficulty settings. Missions take place around the globe, over an assortment of terrain types including arctic, forest, dessert, and ocean.

Ace Combat Advance is a video game in the Ace Combat series. It is the first in the series for a handheld gaming system. Unlike other flight simulators, it's a top-down shooter similar to Strike series, but using fighter jets. It has been criticized for awkward controls, lack of appeal, difficulty and very poor graphics.
Plot
In the year 2032, globalization has blurred the borders between countries, and multinational corporations have become worldwide economic superpowers. General Resources Ltd., one of these superpowers, uses state of the art military equipment and their Air Strike Force (A.S.F.) to destroy anybody who could potentially pose a threat to their superiority.
A new international military is created to fight back, spearheaded by an elite fighter squadron called the United Air Defense (U.A.D.). As the newest pilot, you must help your squadron destroy the ASF and bring General Resources Ltd. to their knees.
Gameplay
The player becomes a key pilot in the UAD, and is sent on 12 missions to stop GR's destruction. These missions are very similar to those that one encounters in the rest of the Ace Combat series, but there are a few unique missions that require new tactics.
