AeroWings 2: Air Strike

Aero Dancing F is simply the best dogfighting simulation you can buy. Add excellent graphics, control, and sound to complete the package. The only thing ADF lacks is ground missions, but I have a feeling that will be addressed in the next iteration. ADF is another reason why I own the Uberconsole! If you're a flight sim fan, then buying ADF is a no brainer -- if you never enjoyed flight sims, then ADF might just covert you...

Aside from that, Aerowings 2 continues the impressive flight action the first game had, with the much awaited combat. As the first true sequel to a Dreamcast launch title, Aerowings 2 gets 4 1/2 out of 5 for its impressive flight model, but some of the sounds (gunshots especially) leave a lot to be desired.

When the Dreamcast launched, aircraft fanatics had two choices: Konami's Air Force Delta or Crave's Aerowings. Though neither proved a raging success, Aerowings, an aerial acrobatics simulation, went on to develop a minor cult following. VMU replays appeared on the Internet, the number of FAQs rose, and, thanks to markdowns at retailers, the game's "word of mouth" appeal skyrocketed. While not an instant success, the mixture of Pilotwings-style acrobatics with simulation flying made believers out of many people. Hoping to cater to this already established niche and attract newcomers, Crave is back with a combat-oriented sequel, Aerowings 2: Air Strike.

I thought the controls were very good. Usually, flying games have over sensitive controls, but this one is as smooth as can be. Actually, it is the controls that really help make this game. All of the main functions are very simple and right at your disposal (no shift keys or multiple key combos). I am also impressed with how fluid the game is. There is no slow down or chop involved with this one. Although it has a few small problems, AeroWings 2: Airstrike is the best flight sim you can get for the Dreamcast.

I never thought I'd see this day. They actually created a flying game on a console that rivals even the most hardcore PC flight sims. AeroWings 2 is a masterpiece of realism, putting you in the role of a Japanese Air Self Defense Force trainee. Of course, after the putrid stale fast food that was AirForce Delta, even a semi-edible peanut butter and jelly sandwich would be nice. But AeroWings 2 is a full course gourmet feast

AeroWings 2: Air Strike turned out to be a lot more enjoyable than I expected. With it's newbie-friendly approach, surprising depth, and great two player game, this game is not only better than it's predecessor, it's a great game overall. While it's not a must-own for everyone, anyone with even a minor interest in jet fighting will want to check this out.

Si sois amantes de los simuladores de vuelo complejos y realistas, este juego es sin ninguna duda el mejor que podéis encontrar en Dreamcast y posiblemente en cualquier consola; si por contra lo que más os atrae son los arcades repletos de acción y explosiones, manteneos alejados de él, ya que posiblemente os aburriríais a la media hora.

Areowings 2 is a decent game. It makes for a nice little console flight sim, but it’s by no means a "must buy" title. With the legions of other titles like Jet Grind Radio and Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast, this title quickly gets bumped down in the food chain. If your looking for something a little more serious with a simulation flavor to it though, this is a game worth checking out.

AeroWings 2: Air Strike is a solid game, with much for seekers of airborne thrills to enjoy, but ultimately it lacks the depth to match its slinky-smooth looks.

Aerowings. Oh, Aerowings. I had such high hopes. I know, I know, most console games are brain dead, so where did my high hopes come from? From the Dreamcast system of course. Anyway, Aerowings 2 really bites. Let me tell you. I’m thinking that this game took about three and a half weeks to put together and it has about three and a half minutes of gameplay.

get worried when a game has more training missions than game missions, and even when you do get to the actual "game" there just isn't that much action going on. The gorgeous graphics and realistic flight controls and physics are a great start to a game that lost its direction before it shipped. Perhaps they were rushing to release this before the Playstation 2 arrives. Regardless, this title is a rental at best. If you are hardcore enough to even like this game you should easily be able to exhaust any and all fun from it in a 3-5 day period.
