hated it. Look for my copy on E-bay.
i guess i will start with the graphics. to put it mildly: they stunk like crap. after loading the game and waiting with high expectations after reading all of the reviews i was completely blown away by the lameness of the graphics. i was expecting some nice cockpit vies of the land below but all i got was a bunch of low res polygons and jagged lines which looked nothing like mountains or valleys. i turned up the graphical settings as high as they could go and still this game could not deliver on the graphics end. i felt like i was playing a game on an original playstation. i kept wondering why anyone would release a game with such disappointing displays when today's computers have such potential and graphics processing power. how come ace combat 4 on my playstation 2 looked 10 times as good as this game? i wish i would have skipped this purchase...
second of all, the sound was terrible. the same monotone swooshing sound was so annoying. third the game is not at all fun to play. from the begininng you are thrown into a campaign without any idea of what you are really supposed to do. so i spent 10 minutes flying around the same stupid loking terring. "is that the runway? no, actually it is supposed to be a stream or something." BORING!
i was looking for a game to test out my new joystick and when this game finally arrived i was completely disappointed. i guess if you are a real pilot and are obsessed with difficulty, long boring manuals, excessive amounts of keys to use and you really don't care about graphics or gameplay you might actually enjoy this game. i am putting this game back in the box, uninstalling it and putting it up for sale on E-bay.
