    Takes off in a fresh new direction with riveting air combat that mixes thrilling missions with simple controls, solid multiplayer support, and an intriguing story line.

    Taut and gripping. The game is seamless and action packed once a mission is launched. The cutscenes are very well done and really set up the action.
  3. PSX Nation

    The best reason to play SWON is the story and writing. This is Lucasarts afterall so that should not be surprising to anyone.
  4. GameSpy
    90
    With its intuitive, intense gameplay and rich atmosphere, Secret Weapons Over Normandy is the best flight-action game for the PlayStation 2.
  5. Game Chronicles
    90
    Quite simply, the best action flight game released for the PS2 this year for sure and quite possibly the best that has ever graced the console.
  6. Armchair Empire

    A great WWII experience as well as an exceptional game. The lack of multiplayer and a few discrepancies keep SWON from being a spectacular game but it still is exceptional.
  7. Next Level Gaming
    87
    While I would have liked to have seen online gameplay (and I do take off points for that), the single player campaign is very stong, and the storyline will keep you sucked into it. The controls are great, and the presentation is great.

    A damn good arcade dogfighter game. The graphcis are very nice, the story is surprisingly interesting and the missions are varied enough to keep you feeling interested throughout the entire campaign. There are also a variety of different planes and weapon types to help keep mission replys feeling fresh. It may not be the most realistic game out there, but it a very fun game to play.… Full Review »

    This GAME/ is a piece of junk! I have played a lot of PS2 games in my time buit NOTHING as bad as this. I intend to smash the CD so that some poor Gamer doesn't go through the misery of trying tp play it. Lucas Arts should be selling blank CDs instead of ruining them by recording games like this one!
