    Aquila has an intuitive interface that keeps you heading toward the enemy, blazing away. With four different craft configurations and a variety of weapons with which to fight the enemy, there’s plenty to blaze away with.

    The control scheme can be a bit difficult to get used to at first, but thanks to Battle Engine Aquila's instructive tutorial, the whole becomes extremely easy, extremely fast.

    Speaking of action, there's a metric ton of it. You're constantly thrown into massive battles that look straight out of an RTS. [Feb 2003, p.72]

    Nice graphics, nice cutscenes. The gameplay is similar to Gunmetal. The battles are big, feels like you are playing c & c generals in first person flight shooter. There are plenty of levels to staisfy. There are some racing level etc to unlock in goodies menu. The codes for god mode are there. Plenty of combat vehichles and soldiers take the fight in the battle. You feel that there was strong effort made by the development team.… Expand
