  • Summary: It's a dark night. The cool, calming ocean air floats across your body, rejuvenating your animal spirit, flowing through your nerves like iced lightning. You breathe deeply, and climb into the cockpit of your P-51 Mustang. As you strap down your helmet and goggles you utter a silent prayer;It's a dark night. The cool, calming ocean air floats across your body, rejuvenating your animal spirit, flowing through your nerves like iced lightning. You breathe deeply, and climb into the cockpit of your P-51 Mustang. As you strap down your helmet and goggles you utter a silent prayer; you know that this time you launch off the carrier could be your last. So gear up, soldier.

    Basic gameplay mechanics combine with real-world charisma to form the most solid Dreamcast flight simulator seen to date.

    If you like your flight sims more action-oriented, suit up and get ready to fly.

    If historical accuracy isn't a big deal for you and you're willing to put up with an occasional boring mission, Iron Aces is worth a look.

    Great mission structure, easy to learn gameplay and of course tons of classic WWII era planes to blow out of the sky.
  5. GamerWeb Sega

    The cookie-cutter missions, and standard presentation hurt the game, but they certainly don't make it unplayable. Solid title.
  6. GameSpot

    A game that's confused about where its heart lies, leaving you with a smattering of mildly entertaining dogfights and bombing runs interwoven with long bouts of boredom.
  7. Gaming Age

    It isn't the prettiest thing out there, and there are a few rough edges here and there when it comes to bombing and the like, but otherwise, it's a decent simulation that'll have you cheering as you attack Japanese and German bases.
