An alright budget game April 16, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
First of all let me just say that if you're looking for an authentic flight simulator, this is not your game. This is more akin to a 3D arcade shooter. In the 3 missions that I completed, it will be you alone against between 4 and 20 computer-controlled adversaries. Did the RAF only have one spitfire? In the 1st mission you are called to defend the retreating French (haha!! The developers have a sense of humor!) against 10 enemy tanks and 3 fighterplanes... In the second mission it is you alone against 4 fighter planes over the ocean. Your mission is to shoot them all down before they can return to base and deliver their spy photos. The third (and most ridiculous in my opinion) involves you defending your airbase (again alone) against dive-bombers, heavy bombers and fighter planes. This mission is most ridiculous in my opinion because you are given NO assistance.. Does your base not have any AA guns? Where are the other planes? I stopped playing after failing to defend my base against an onslaught of 30+ German planes out to destroy my base.
The graphics for this game are OK.. They look like an average flight-sim for a late 90s era PC. Really nothing special. The music is non-existant practically. The controls are laid out pretty well and are as follows.
R shoulder button - Machine gun (unlimited)
L shoulder button - nothing
A - Speed up
B - Speed down
X - look behind
y - perform a barrel roll
There is no taking off or landing, and when you complete a mission, it just ends. This is a budget game, so really dont expect much. Again, Flight simulator fans beware.
