Quite possibly one of the greatest and most addictive games ever, and definitely in the top five top x-box games period right now. I enjoyed the single player story mode and became an ace in that realm and recently ventured onto x-box live where I've been schooling and have been schooled.
I must say the trickiest thing about the online multi-player is the frag steals by other players as you devestat a plane only to have someone swoop done on the wounded bird and finish it off as you line it back up in your crosshairs.
Still, I'm loving this game although it does get annoying when you can out fly aces and they still win matches simply by frag theft, gang banging and other unkosher shit.
Take earlier this evening for example, I fly into the dock point with the upgraded plane at chicago, gun it swinging straight down for an arc, risking on a hunch, fly upside down through the waythrough underneath in the building, pop out and drop an ace out the sky while still looping back up upside down, or another risky skill swoop hat takes real understanding of the level to get.
all and all this game walks away with five stars in my book and my planes of choice is normally the brigand or the desert fox.
any other players?
