Secret Weapons Over Normandy

"Chase, take out those bombers before they destroy the game! (German Pilot) Schnell, schnell, destroy the game quickly!"

Okay, to start off, I would like to say that this game is a really great game. Everything is awesome and I know you'll love the game.

Game play:10/10
The game play is cool. You'll get a good kick out of this game. You can unlock new planes, upgrades, and secondary weapons too.

Story:10/10
The story is really nice. You are this American pilot, Chase, who helps the British, Americans, and French take down the Japanese and destroy the Germans and their technology. You basically just fly around in a (1940) plane of your choice (unless in one mission in which you are a ball gunner of a B-17), shooting down enemy planes, destroying enemy ground targets, capturing places, or defending someone.

Controls:9/10
The controls are pretty easy to learn. If you find yourself dying a lot, you can change the controls to your liking. The only bad thing is your have to remember which key does what. You don't want to waste a missile by shooting it by accidentally.

Sound:10/10
The sounds in this game are just outstanding! I mean the bullets, torpedoes,missiles, or bombs you fire sound really cool and realistic. You can also hear realistic explosions, bullets whizzing through the air or ricocheting off a plane, or Anti-Aircraft fire blowing up next to you. Also, for each different country, they have a person actually speaking that language! (German, American, British, Japanese, and French.)

Graphics:10/10
The graphics are awesome. The environments, whether it's in Russia or Germany or anywhere else, look realistic. The bullets or anything else you fire look cool. The planes look outstanding and you can actually see bullet, missile, or torpedo trails. The explosions are nice too.

Re-playability:10/10
You will definitely want to play this game over and over again as there are many un-lockable things. For instance, you might not have gotten all the planes and you want to try to unlock all of them. Or you might want to retry the challenges and get more upgrades than the first time.

Buy or Rent: I think that if you just love great action games, you should absolutely buy this game. If you don't really like games in which you are a plane, then rent this game and see how good it is for yourself. If you want to become a pilot when you grow up, then you should play this game.

Overall: I think this is a great game and I know that anybody who plays this game will like it and play it forever and ever.
