The control’s are well-tuned, too, and you really feel the differences between planes. You’ll see your aircraft’s engine heat up when you accelerate and tail flaps react to the movement of the circle pad it all makes for a surprisingly realistic visual experience. What appeared to possess some semblance of detail and depth from above is revealed to have nothing of the sort once you dip down to explore it, and it makes the few three-dimensional elements of the environment look jarringly out of place.įlying itself is great fun, and the game’s plane models are all perfectly articulate.

That’s great for awhile, but the lack of significant variety quickly makes the experience feel a lot less daring and lot more generic. Most missions require you to shoot down a certain number of enemy aircraft, along with the odd four-wheeled vehicle or boat. Luckily, the game picks up significantly once you hop in the cockpit. Voice acting helps to add at least a sprinkle of color to the proceedings, but terribly bland writing and frustratingly flat characters almost guarantee utter disinterest in the stretches of text between missions. There’s very little to the story, and it quickly becomes a generic, forgettable, and boring frame for the aerial combat you’re there for.
