not too bad but not too good either.
now if you look at the weapons you see, flack gun, mavericks you can find in other games, for instance you can find mavericks in almost every other present day fighter pilot game, its supposed to be a futuristic sci fi, that means you have to have a little bit of creativity, instead of pawning of other games.
now if there was a first person view this game would be a wicked game, for example, battle engine aquila was first person, and it was excellent, its only downfall was that the fighting was too slow, now if gun metals gaming engine was put in that view it would make a friggen awesome game.
and also with the controls the way they are as a fighter jet it makes the game a bit corny and out of control, if you could make the controls so that you had complete manual control with the mouse and keyboard, or a joystick, now that would be wicked.
