"Everyone should have this game!!!"

You have over 30 different aircraft.you have 20+ missions they each have thier own detailed briefing and strategy is involved. This game features spectacular graphics realistic sound and a great replay. Some missions are difficult but it never took me more than 10 times playing a mission to beat it. The game is very fun and easy to play most of the missions are very simple but some can be a pain in the but to beat. The control, sounds, music, and graphics are all spectacular in this game. This game is for anybody who likes airplane games and is one of the best Dreamcast games in my opinion besides Sonic Adventure. Konami made an awesome game that should get more credit than what it has.

GAMEPLAY **10**

The game play of this game is great you feal like your in total control of the aircraft. There are two control modes Novice and Expert. Novice is easy to fly but you cab't do barrel rolls. Expert is hard to control some times it will take about a half hour to master this unless you’ve played quite a few airplane games befor and then it should be a snap to master. Everything can be done by the touch of a button. Each of the buttons feel like there in the right place but if to you there not then you can customize the controls to your liking.

SOUND / MUSIC **10**

The sound in this game is realistic. The missles fireing,ground control,aircraft passing you, all of the sound is detailed. All of the sounds you hear in this game would be like if you were really flying that plane. The game sounds and the ground controll is very realistic voice. The music in this game is very good sounding and is the greatest. All of the music and sounds in this game are all very detailed and are sounding good on the Dreamcast. Konami did a good job making the sounds in this game just like the real deal and you gotta love that.

GRAPHICS / LEVEL DESIGN **10**

No airplane game has a chance to mess with this games graphics. They are simply spectacular. The levels are very well designed and detailed with there own special touch like enemies and stuff for you to crash into. The graphics of this game are very smooth flowing and never hesitate in this game. The Levels are very neat to look at they all have special enemies. The game is full of detailing from the planes to the level design.

REPLAYABILITY **9**

This game has 30+ planes 20+ missions it will take very long to wear out. As you beat missions you get money to buy new aircraft. Each time you beat a level you get money and new planes available to buy. And then you get more advanced planes to do harder missions. The game is fun to play through a few times but after that you’ll be beating the game in no time at all. The game should provide for some major fun. A nice touch to this game would have been a two player dogfight mode. That would be awesome.

CHALLENGE **9**

This game is very hard from the beginning but once you progress through 5 or 6 missons and you go back to play the first level you will beat it in a snap. This game provided a huge challenge because I didn’t know where to go but if you hit the d pad up it will give you a map with enemie markers on it. So remember that and this game should be faily simple to play.

BUY OR RENT

You should always rent a game first. If you are an airplane game fanatic get this game. I’m very glad I got this game it was worth every penny I paid for it. This is the most up to date fighter airplane game you can get without actually be a fighter plane pilot. Get this game its for almost anybody.
