Thank you Thank you, Thank you! Finally something besides a shooter on the console.

This is what I have been waiting for. A fun to play combat air sim that harkens back to the good old days of tittles like Jane's FA18 and Falcon 4.0. Although this game is not on the same level, I am so tired of every game producer concentrating on the next big "shooter" that they forget the Combat Air Sim market segment. Sure, I like them, but I have been playing combat air sims since Gunship! on the C-64 and MS Jet on the 8086.

I have always preferred games where you have time to think about what you are doing rather that the all out shooting like Afterburner which is more arcade style. This game makes me believe that there is hope for the console as a potential Combat Air Sim. I have always thought the PC is so much better for these more complex and strategy intensive sims. (***Game Producers*** Please, please produce games more like this while continuing to push the complexity!)

The game itself can seem like an arcade game at times, but you can duck out behind a hill to gather yourself for your next attack. The gunner position is a lot of fun (Think COD MW2 AC130). Next on my list is to get my girlfriend to play co-op with her in the gunner's seat. While not the best game, it has filled a missing segment in my gaming needs.
