I could say alot about this game, but i dont want to. I got this game for christmas last year, and love it instantly, but i found that it seemed to be one of those games you like, but its not good enough to play often. The game is simple, you fly a plane. y button boots speed, right trigger fires machine guns, left trigger fires your special attack, b brakes, thumb stick controls flight and balance, and clicking the thumbstick in gives you arieal manuvers. Cool, but short lived fun. The game is less then 10 hours long offline and unbelievably easy, and due to teh simple and repetitive gameplay, it is easily forgetable. All the planes have there advantages: speed, weapons, attack, defense and so on, but none really excell. You can upgrade them by finding tokens around the levels in the game, but you only need about 10 to upgrade and once you upgrade you favorite plane, you are set. The xbox live is addictive, but easy and over fast, you will find yourself drawn back to splinter cell 2 and rainbow six 3 before long. My advice, buy it, play it, sell it, you think youll play it again but you wont. Fun, but too forgetable to acheive perfection.
