Hey everyone. I'm trying to find my son a few new Arcade Style Flying/Shooter games like Crimson Skies - which is the only one he has, but...................I'm definitely not interested in Flight Simulation games where you have to actually learn how to fly. He loves to use the joystick and fly, shoot, and kill! But he has no interest in learning flaps, rudders, altitude etc.:roll:

If anyone knows of any Fighter Jet, or WWI or WWII arcade flying games where I can get him up and flying and shooting down planes - just for fun - I'd love to hear your recommendations.

Thanks a million, StratMan23 :)

Comanche 4 is a total arcade shooter.  I thought it was just horrible for that reason.  But if you are looking for that kind of thing you might like it.

Even though it comes from a proper flight sim heritage. Secret Weapons over normandy is a fun arcade flying game... Sure it's not as deep as it's older brother, but you kid will love it if he liked Crimson Skies. It's easy, fast and has lots of missions.
