I first saw this game at E3 2006.. It was one of the few DS games that I left the show wanting to play. Wow an Airplane style RPG... Wow that seems really cool. When it was finally released I was apprehensive about buying it because of some of the negative reviews that I had read. Well, I eventually picked it up. It has become one of my most played DS games. I love this game. I liken it to an old PC game called "Elite". I'm little biased about this game because I like airplanes.. Any type of flight simulator, or flight game.. I usually pick up and give it a go. Well this game isn't going to blow your socks off. But when you think about what it's doing on the DS I find it impressive. The DS 3-D engine isn't that great. But this is a really fun game. It takes a bit of time and investment to get going in the game, and I think that's where most of the reviews fail. The reviewer didn't get into the meat of the game... You eventually get better aircraft, more unique missions. Yeah you can let the computer fly the plane for your, but you can also take over and fly it yourself. The controls are a bit difficult to get use to, but you use a combination of the auto and manual mode, that's where it works out best. One you get further into the game you get additional aircraft, better equipment, special missions, shooting down giant airships. etc. If your not an airplane buff, stay away. This game wasn't made for you. But if you are, run out and buy it. It a great game for $20...
