    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This is a great dogfight sim, lots of options, and some lovely animated cutscenes.

    The controls don't take long to get used to - they brilliantly use the nunchuk as the main controller (after all, it already looks like a jet's control stick!) and the wiimote in the left hand is pulled back for throttle. However, should you prefer using a more standard setup (like the classic controller) you can easily make the changes.

    The visuals are fine, with detailed perspectives, and having your wingmen's chatter running through is a nice touch.

    But really this game is about spinning through the sky, catching an enemy plane in your gunsights. Don't like the cutscenes? Skip em. Don't like the controls? Change em. For a flying shooter it's simply a whole lot of fun.

  • Too short, too easy, boring cut-scenes

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    It's an okay game, but filled with long, tedious, badly translated cut-scenes.

    The missions are fairly well-structured, but the handling is odd and often unresponsive. The number of times I flew into walls because the plane just decided to keep flying straight whilst I was pulling back on the yoke....

    It's short. You could conceivably finish it in a day and I'm afraid that being able to replay any mission at build up scores and work towards medals and new upgrades does not make a game worthwhile.

    This game is ok but nowhere near what its made out 2 b. On the advert they say it pushes the wii 2 its limits but i don't think so much better games out on the wii. Gameplay is slow and the controls r not good.
