Secret Weapons Over Normandy – a World War Two plane game. With over 26 planes, 15 missions and 20 challenges, which is pretty long for a game. The 20 challenges throughout the game are not necessary to be beaten. They just make the game a LOT easier to complete. The game can be also double slowed down as well as it can be double increased (without these options the game would be really hard to beat). The graphics are pretty good – they are not the smoothest but have enough requirements for a high quality game. There are also 16 clips between the challenges and the missions, which tell you about some of the occurrences in WWII.
You can play against your friends or against the computer with the planes you have unlocked during the missions and challenges. The controls of the game are really easy to adapt to – only one game stick is used but if you want harder and more maneuverable controls you can go to options to change the configuration of the joystick. The game is very hard to beat especially if you expect to beat a level from the first try, since you need to get used to the level and decide if you want to beat the secondary or bonus goals (goals apart from the primary, which help you unlock planes or/and get you extra requisition forms). With the requisition forms you can upgrade your planes with extra gun ammo, double cannon ammo, double your rocket and bomb capacity. Planes can also be upgraded with armor (makes them more resistant but heavier), airframe (makes them more maneuverable) and engine (they get faster with a higher climb rate). There is also a clip gallery where the air museum talks about some planes as well as a few clips about the music production of the gam
