Game description: Lethal Skies II (Sidewinder V) is a combat flight simulator set in an eco-disaster torn near-future with more realistic loadouts and physics modeling than the eminent Ace Combat series by Namco-Bandai Games. Released on September 9, 2003 in North America, it marks the third and last Western installment in the series (fifth and last in Japan) after Bogey Dead 6 on the PlayStation and Lethal Skies Team SW: Elite Pilot on the PlayStation 2. The major features touted for this release were its ability to use the i.LINK 2-player mode, along with local 2-player and the addition of more cinematic camera modes. 19 flyable aircraft over 20 missions (with an unlockable enemy-side campaign) mark the end of the series.
