Players take their elite strike fighters to the skies and hunt down a mad dictator before he takes over the world. As Nintendo's first realistic flight shooter on Nintendo DS, DS Air lets players customize their fighters with a state-of-the-art weapon loadout. Send wave after wave of enemy fighters to their doom in dogfights over land, sea and air. Meet a wingman for co-op play and soar to victory over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. After being driven from his seat of power, a vicious dictator has fled to a remote, mountainous region to plan a military uprising. Mysteriously, the opposing army's forces have received reinforcements, leading to speculation that an unknown nation is lending military assistance to the uprising. An ace pilot in an elite strike-fighter wing has been tasked with crushing the opposition forces and returning peace to the troubled region. [Nintendo]

May not offer you the same multi-branching story mode and quick effective stylus controls that Star Fox Command has but, the story is engaging and the satisfaction you get when you score that triple ā€˜S’ rank will keep you playing. [JPN Import]
