Review:
This is an awesome flying fighter game simulation!! The complex graphics of the xbox 360 combined with a nice TV give the terrain an aesthetically beautiful touch; all this combined with huge dogfights make the game even more fun to play.
You are the leader of Garuda Team, nicknamed Talisman, and you have one wingmate who sort of helps you but doesn’t really do much until the later stages. You must carry out missions/objectives and can land on captured airways for more weapons and ammo.
Pros and Cons:
This game is very interesting, but here are the technicalities:
+Very good game setting (some random area so as not to provoke any feelings)
+Good variety of weapons
+Tough enemies (well not all the enemies were tough, but some of them were just expert aces!)
+Great graphics
– Bad wingmate who doesn’t do anything except tell you that you are being targeted by a missile.
–Sometimes the missions are so large and so many operations are happening at the same time that you can not help everyone out.
–Bad radar system; the writing on the hud is way too small. It can be read but is a strain to the eyes.
-Just a tad bit unrealistic: you can carry 240 missiles on your airplane plus an additional 260 special missiles.
AND lastly!
A strange ANIME style game with ANIME people!! If you don’t like anime you probably won’t like the mid-game videos, but you can still get the storyline by skipping the videos so the game is still great!
I give this game a 8/10 for great graphics and a nice combat system but a junky video storyline filled with corny voice acting.
