Wow, I was not expecting anything good from this but I was thoroughly impressed. This is an air combat game and I played two missions, one in a jet fighter and the other in a hind helicopter. The game is really flashy and well presented. There are lots of cool effects with the camera angles, slow motion and even a few quick time events. Flying a jet plane has never felt so intense, that's for sure. The missions were standard fare, featuring dog fighting, escort missions, ground assaults and crazy RPG wielding terrorists.

The jet plane has some really cool functions. The main thing that makes this game fun is an intense lock on mechanic. It almost acts like aiming down sights in Call of Duty or something. The camera goes crazy and the action is more intense.
Then there was a helicopter level which was less intense but still fun. I had to protect ground troops as they raided a large building in the city. The mission was long but it was pretty varied, having me take out technicals, APC's and other helicopters.
When this hits the bargain bin, it might be worth my time, we'll see.
