I played the ps1 version and I liked that one, finally I can get some next gen airplane action (sorry blazing angels), the graphics look really good btw.

Personally, I'd rather have Crimson Skies 2, but this will do. Especially when one considers the best aerial combat on the 360 consists of Blazing Angels (o.k.) and Over G Fighters (so-so).

Now, if a 360 compatible flight stick were to be released at the same time...

Can't wait. Love that plane. Hopefully there will be a lot of online modes. I liked over g fighters but the lack of online modes and the actual difficulty of the game threw me off.

The A-10 is my anti-drug. Best. Plane. Ever. My Dad flew one of those beasts. I even got to sit in one once. Let me tell you, even when you're stationary on the tarmac, you can feel the power coursing through it. So. Awesome.

niiice

A-10s are crazy but how could you sit in one when the engine is on...

The F-22 is crazy but i hated it in over-g cuz thats all anyone would ever use and the payload it can carry is completely unrealistic ESPECIALLY when its performance is hardly effected....

I can't wait for this thing to come out. If it came out tonight I'd be in line for a midnight release. That pic of the buffs and F-15 look like an Air Force picture... Please DON'T have that cheesy anime-style crap Over-G had. gCM

NO WAY YOU KNEW THAT OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD...

i googled it...im not that smart

SEEEE Max external storage is 5000lbs per wing(which is no where near the 8 Aim120s and four 2000 pound bombs u can put on them.
The bottom line is that it does do what it is supposed to do in being an airDOMINANCE fighter but those stats are WAYYY ahead of this day and age...
