Okay...firstly, i got this game during a sale at a plaza near my house. Ya know the buy 2 get one free bargain.... When i my eyes gazed upon this particular game, thoughts went through my mind. I had not check up Gamespot yet by the way( if i had..i will not be writing this now) and now i regret it. Packaging seemed interesting, with the 40 missions set attracting me to it. I was thinking...this has 40 Missions! worth every penny~ When i reached home, i tore the cover apart and slot the disc into my box and installed it. Opening scenes were smooth, nicely detailed and realistic. Looking at that i thought i had spent my cash on good stuff. Moving on to the gameplay, i realise that flight controls were difficult, there wasnt a crisp battle control that captivated me. ( yeaa you probably think "wad the hell does this guy know abt flight sim?") but i can assure you that i have played tons of sim games before this faithful day.

This is one of the worst games ive played, I died twice at the starting mission and i lost all interest in the game. If the controls were that pathetic enough to kill me twice and the thousands of lasers that i shot were probably water pistols to the enemy, then why should you guys be bothered with a game like this? I banged down on my mouse and held it there for like a minute, focusing my fire power on the enemy in my sight and i could not shoot it down. Its stupid...i would have felt much better piloting the simple control X-wing fighter in Starwars...Sounds were ugly...the only way to know your objectives while flying is to read the subs that the voices say...at times, 3 or 4 people will be babbling and all the subs would appear at the top...so when your trying to read your objectives, it gets cut off because some dumb ass is requesting permission to land. Music = cheesy...
Several other details turned me off during the play but its not worth shouting out here cause you guys wont be that dumb to get this game.....right?

anyways..the bottom line is...STAY AWAY!

    Somewhat flawed, but not enough to erase the fun

    Wind Warriors has gotten some pretty mediocre reviews. I have to say, all the complaints most people have about the game are valid enough, but there's one thing I disagree on. As flawed as the game is, it's still extre... Read Full Review
