I love these kind of games. There are the moments in your life when you want to start the flight simulator and take a learjet from Amsterdam to Stockholm, there is however that other moment when you just want to let it all go, defy the rules of aviation and have a go at one another.
The second type is this game. The first mission is the training day and this takes you through the passes of flying a crate around the area. The yapping voice of the 'teacher' is somewhat irritating, but you'll survive. And after a few initial tests a German just happens to fly by and you get to shoot him down.
This is the start of an arcade style like game. The game seems to focus more on the dogfighting then on the actual flying simulations and i think that this is what will give popularity to this game. It is certainly the reason why i like it.
The graphics are excellent, especially the buildings. Some of the famous landmarks will be visible in the game, and you can actually fly low enough to see the buildings in 3D (as well as crash into them).
Yes, all in all these angels will be the right stuff for some action based gamers
