OUR Take…
This is iPhone gaming the way it SHOULD and CAN be. The graphics are stunning, the game motion is silky smooth, the controls are clear cut, accurate and totally usable and the use of the accelerometer to control the plane is fantastic.
There are a number of different missions and each has a unique quality all its own rather than being a replay of the last level with a slight different game board or challengers.
The goals, among others, are to shoot enemies with your missules or gun and avoid air to air or surface to air attacks by steering and rolling out of the way of incoming missiles (indicated by "danger zone".) I found the game challenging yet playable and didn’t get bored one bit after playing for quite a while.
The best way to get a sense of it all is to actually see the app in action and… as luck would have it.. we have a video right here!
