    Anyone looking for a hardcore flight sim should look elsewhere (preferably at a PC). This here's arcade action all the way, but it does that one thing extremely well.
  2. The graphics will help draw you in, but the tight controls and mission advancement will keep you around.

    The landscapes, from the desert to the jungle, are good-looking, with enough differences in the terrain to keep it interesting. The change that the time-of-day makes on the environments is especially beautiful.
  4. The controls feel sluggish and unresponsive, the difficulty balance is ridiculous. [Jan 2002, p.222]

    Good graphics, but the controls are hard and frustrating, also they don't give a lot of time, not nearly as good as ace combat.

    I had it and gave it away. I think it is the worst money spent ever. The only good are the graphics. All the rest is crap.
