This title has just been released in New Zealand this week, and I was lucky to be the first to rent it from my local video store today. And beside having a good looking cover and an easy manual that anyone can follow and understand, I have found very little to find it a bore to look at. When you first insert the CD into the 360 your welcome by a short title screen, and then your prepared to watch a 3 minute intro; of the Anime kind! Which sets it off as a great story indeed. There are about 20 missions within and the game play is easy; I'm only saying that it is because I'm a lover of flight sims (every played Freelancer pilots?), and the graphics are frantic to say the least! Though at times it feels like you may be spending your time just flying around and dodging both bullets and plasma fire, the occassional scraping of other pilots hulls if you should want to ram the enemy instead of shooting them!! But please don't ram the capital ships; its just not good for your health or sanity!
The only downside that I've found with this game with the graphics, is if your using a normal analog CRT; your gonna be dissapointed... With so much going on ingame/ on screen you would need at least a large flatscreen television with S-VGA (like most people have), or if you can afford it a huge HD-TV LCD to see every detail so as not to confuse your eyes. But besides that point most lovers of flight sims and Anime will find this game refreshing, so go and strap on your jumpsuit, settle your helmet, and strap yourself into your sofa! Its gonna be a bumpy ride pilots!! Ka Kite ano
