Just some passages from the first review that popped up when I googled Ace of Spades:
Ace of Spades fails to deliver on any and all of the ideas that make its inspirations so good, and what's left behind is a laggy, boring mess of a shooter that feels uninspired and bland.
Watching a drill missile stutter on its path as it drives into the ground is the perfect example of the failed potential this game typifies.
There are only a handful of modes, even fewer of which are interesting or enjoyable. Team Death Match is the worst of the bunch, with completely boring firefights bogged down by the aforementioned lag and lack of feedback.
Ace of Spades attempts to be many things, while achieving none of them. It isn't as creative and wondrous as Minecraft and it isn't as strategic or entertaining as Team Fortress 2. Hell, it isn't even as good as the beta version! There's next to no feedback when shooting enemies, the lag is unbearable in most servers, the community is off to a paltry start, and the basic game mechanics simply don't feel satisfying. Many of these issues can be fixed -- and hopefully they will be addressed -- but even then, I'm not sure there is a great FPS game underneath it all.
