I guess I'm going to be the first to deviate from all the negative reviews for this interesting title.

In short I'd recommend this game to anyone that's looking for a flight arcade title set during the beautiful backdrops of the Vietnam War. I give a lot of credit towards the developers with the wide range of assorted aircraft during the 60's/70's. The soundtrack is good or unique in a sense ,yet after a couple missions they get really beaten to death since they wrote original songs for this game with some range of genres too. I'll be honest by saying that the story isn't interesting at all even though I'm not that far into the game. Some other things that bother me with what the developers did was mainly the grid they put into each of the combat airspaces giving you only so much room to fly yet it's not all that bad, but it takes away from "some" of the immersion. Graphically this game is beautiful despite all the nay-sayers are saying how this seems dated which on the ground it does but its really gorgeous up in the skies of vietnam while you're chasing screaming Migs.

Another small thing that bothers me too is during helicopter gameplay your seated in the Co-Pilot seat of lets say the Hueys and Chinooks when in reality they should of had you sitting in the actual pilot seat.

These are just some of the things that popped at me with my short time of playing this but I'm going to enjoy it nonetheless.

If you are on the fence about picking this title up my best advice is to wait for it to be on sale instead of paying full price since you don't have too much to loose.
