AirForce Delta

"The Ace combat of DC."

Air Force Delta is similar to Ace Combat for the Playsation, being a Jet combat simulation focusing more on the action aspects, giving it a more action arcade feel than a simulation.

Gameplay: 9
Basically, you get to fly your planes andshoot down your enemies. Missions are given however that add variety to gameplay, rather than shooting planes down through out the whole game. Oddly enough, there is even a shop option. I guess its pretty normal in the Air force no and days to buy a new tire for your plane or something. Difficulty levels allow experts to fly around like madmen while novice mode allows beginners to learn the meachanics of the game.

Video/Audio: 10
The Graphics are the best I have seen so far. The multicolored sky during sunset and the city lights is truly a sight to behold. Even the Planes look realistic as do the missiles. The sound is your typical rock music in the BG with a few radio comments. Nothing new here.

Replay Value: 8
Although the missions don't change much, its still fun to play again. The shop option allows you to *buy* new planes (at the odd price of 100,000 credits..discount?) and fly them as well, each with different stats. (If they guys are making enough money to buy new fighter planes which cost billions, I;m joining the air force tomorrow!)
