Editor's Note
I had an opportunity to take sneak peek at this game at UbiDays in San Francisco. The developer explained that until he was assigned to this project he hated flight sim games. He said that many find this type of game difficult because there is too much going on against a blue back ground making it hard to spot your enemies without being an experienced F-22 pilot. In order to make it more appealing they added the E.R.S. system mentioned above. I got to try out this functionality and found it very easy to use. The E.R.S. does not take the fun out of the game, but rather calculates optimal flight paths for you to engage the enemy. The trick is actually trying to fly the path, which keeps you on the edge of your seat. The dev then disengaged the E.R.S. and the view switched from out of the cockpit to a third person view of the aircraft. I took this chance to pull off some pretty cool dog fighting maneuvers while managing to stall out only once, which even I was able to recover from. At first look, the controls are fitting for everyone from the best pilots to even us novices. The scenery is amazing, giving you a chance to hit the deck, and in my case, fly between the buildings of Rio de Janeiro. This game has the feeling of a first-person shooter in the air with easy pick-up and playability.
